How I doubled the P14s Gen 5 AMD horrendous battery life...
He used Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Notepad, and deleted System32. It was finally achieved through deleting System32. I did it and it worked really well. He did it and it worked really well to improve battery life of the P14s Gen5. Other users also reported doing the same with great results. De

Outlet Experience
My current P14s Gen 5 AMD is from the outlet. Was listed as certified refurbished. If it wasn't for the genetic box and the refurbished sticker at the bottom, I would say the laptop was totally new. Not a single sign of use. Even the new laptop smell. Only 1 battery cycle. A friend also bought a Len

ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 (Ultra 7 165U) vs ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 (Ultra 5 228V)
Yeah, I look at the complete package as well, but have much different priorities. In fact battery life is my #2 priority (after a decent screen) up UNTIL it passes 8 hours. Then it becomes dead last. Value though is quite high. Weight I don't really prioritize, since I can't feel the difference in w

E14 Gen 3 ryzen 5 vs T14 Gen 1 ryzen 5 pro vs X1 carbon gen 9 i7 1185G7
Not being able to tolerate a +10 keypad, and having owned a P14s Gen4 AMD w/ OLED (returned for an otherwise identical build LCD) & P14s Gen5 AMD w/ OLED, no way would I ever consider the P14s Gen6 AMD. Too expensive to not get the high resolution display, but battery is simply too small for any CPU

My awful experience after 3 years of using Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen10
Yes, Lunar Lake in thin and light are great, and are fantastic on battery. Sadly, this comes at the cost of relatively huge amounts of overall performance for the price due to the complexity of the Lunar Lake design. I'm a big fan of Arrow Lake H though. While not AMAZING battery life, with the larg

T14 G5 AMD battery adventure - so far so... bad
Well 20 to 80% is not great because you can have the battery at 30% and won't attempt a charge until it gets below 20%. The Lenovo default is 75 to 80% and I actually use it at 80 to 85% and I always use the laptop plugged in, but have it at 85% in case a power outage (very frequent where I live). A

P14s Gen 5
I had some weird battery and power management issues with my P14s Gen5 (AMD) that I got in November.Not as drastic as yours but I fixed it before it got to that point.I did the following, this is not a scientific process but something fixed it:-stopped using the Lenovo charger and bought a 100W PD A

ThinkPad Omarchy battery life
I've had the same problem as well but then then I went in to research what is happening and found out that Omarchy doesn't really cover a lot of hardware combinations well when it comes to power management. Anyway, I liked what DHH did with this and still decided to use it with some heavy power mana

Portable laptop for business
Recommended New Machine: P14s Gen5 AMD You get replaceable RAM, AMD processor for better battery life, and you are better off picking the 1920x1200 screen because the 1800p OLED will decrease your battery life.

Thinkpad vs Ideapad
I just received a P14s gen5 AMD and it's awesome in it's simplicity, also has a network port.Reports suggest the battery life is poor but i've been using it for 2 days on battery only and battery still has 20% charge.It's much snappier than the inspiron it replaced
