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

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

What laptop should I get for heavy lifting in excel?

Max the RAM, 32GB minimum, get the best processor you can find, get plenty of fast storage as well. Make sure your eGPU does not have compatibility issues (some AMD ones on the Ryzen 7 does and kills excel randomly). Excel itself can benefit from the following: Remove OneDrive, Sharepoint and CoPilo

Nightmare B2B experience with lenovo.com: missing laptop and now forced to file a police report against Lenovo.

I'm a private individual. I recently placed three orders from Lenovo: my first time buying from them. Very fast, yes. Inside each box was a summary of the contents. But I have to say one thing: the package was shameful. The internal packaging was completely insufficient and useless. And I have to ap

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

Amd or Intel for e14

I'm a bit of an edge case myself (I don't need huge CPU performance, no need for graphics, but do need lots of ram), but I prefer my E14 Gen6 AMD (7735U) over my P14s Gen5 AMD (8840HS).
