ThinkPad P14s Gen 5

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

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...

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

In this particular model, the OLED display eats battery like there's no tomorrow. You will get like up to 3 hours of battery life, compared to around 6 for the IPS panel. That runtime is with low/moderate use. On reviews you can see up to 12 hours or so (IPS display), but on idle. Also, getting the

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

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

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

£649 but new, and by a long way the best value you'll get. New direct from Lenovo, with a 3 year warranty.

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

Unless you're planning to leverage the GPU for AI/ML, all you're doing is wasting power and generating heat for a laptop with Nvidia graphics. Better off looking at a high-performance Ryzen platform with plenty of memory. I snagged a "refurb" ThinkPad P14s Gen5 with a Ryzen 8840HS and 64GB of DDR5 a
