Switching to the P14s Gen 5 from T480

I hear you. I’ve a similar experience: recently I switched to a p14s gen5 amd and my previous laptop was a t470s. I miss a lot the old keyboard, the magnesium body, the build quality and the lightness. Performance wise it’s a huge jump (I really don’t feel the need of having a desktop pc anymore) bu

Provocative question for Thinkpad users - why choose a Thinkpad over a Mac at a higher level of specifications

First thing I'd point out is a very flawed premise. At the higher levels of specs, mac doesn't even HAVE laptops to compete with the specs of ThinkPads. Find me a Mac laptop that has 4TB internal storage like my P14s Gen4 AMD AND my P14s Gen5 AMD. Find me a Mac laptop that has 64GB RAM. I'll wait...

Best thinkpad for college?

These are the outgoing P14s Gen 5 models and they're being discounted because the new Gen 6 is coming out next month. The RAM on these is swappable so you can start with 32GB ($1300+tax) and then upgrade to 64GB down the road if you need to do heavy simulation. But I think you'll be fine on 32GB for

Issue when trying to turn on thinkpad

Not saying that its the same thing (it probably isn't), but that's exactly what my P14S G5A was doing before/while it fried itself last week: https://imgur.com/a/fried-p14s-gen5-amd-nKWIIdb The manual says its just memory training

My first thinkpad in my life

To add to this E series are at the bottom of the barrel for this kind of stuff. I had an E14 gen 6 with a Core Ultra 7 155H, 4tb + 4tb nvme storage and 64gb of DDR5 5600, just to give you an idea of how kitted out it was. I was forced to sell it for pennies in a hurry because my workflow required Li

Lenovo Thinkpad P14s Gen5 Intel Keyboard replacement

You are not ment to swap just the keyboard on P14s Gen5 Intel unfortunately, they are rivetted to the C cover(topcase). While yes with time and pain it's probably doable but I personally would just get the whole assembly. Seems to be around 150$ directly from Lenovo US. See if they sell parts in you

What is generally agreed upon to be the "best" ThinkPad?

There is no absolute the BEST unless you must consider it as a collection instead of a tool. Unless you buy it as a collection. You buy for what it capable for. like you buy a Ford F150 bc it would be a great tool to get rid of heavy snow in the winter. Unfder such terms, I think the BEST machine fr
