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

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

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

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

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

ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 – is this worth it for €686?

Horrible price, I bought p14s gen 5 AMD with 8840hs, 32GB ram, 1Tb SSD, 100% srgb screen (same as T14 Gen 5 AMD) for 709 USD brand new on lenovo us website. Plus some expenses to ship from US. That was in December 2024, before the AI craze, but still. T14 Gen 2 should be costing not more that 250-28
