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

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

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. Recommend Outlet Pick: T14 Gen 5 AMD You get replaceable RAM & AMD processor for better b

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

Get the P14s Gen 5 AMD (OLED) now or wait for X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition (OLED) to drop in price?

I have the P14s Gen5 AMD w/ 8840HS and OLED. I would not classify it as decent battery life. I wouldn't classifty it as moderately decent battery life. I would classify it as utterly disgusting battery life (~4 hours w/ 40% brightness and moderate workload). If I put the CPU to MAX powersave, thus m

Thinkpad P14s gen5 intel:+ powerful+ upgradability+ good cooling (2 fans)+ metal body (good for cooling)- high power consumption = bigger and heavier battery- heavy charger (more than 100W)- i read that fan spinning is noticable (which is expected I wold say)So powerful workstation with all pros and

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
