ThinkPad P14s Gen 6

It gave me enough time to go make coffee, drink it, and reconsider my life choices. 😅 Definitely not the 'optimized' experience I was hoping for. This is my spec. LENOVO ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD (21QMS17F00) Microsoft Windows 11 Professional (x64) Build 26200.8037 AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 w/ Radeon 860

However, when I got my P14s last week, boy I got disappointed. I traded off larger screen for better portability (apart from >60 Hz ofc) - but it ended up weighing 1.7 kgs, for a 14.5'' model. This kind of data is in PSREF: you may be deceived but that's on you for not checking the specs. powerful t

For me I noticed random freezes of applications and generally a choppy performance. Launching apps is noticeably slower. Especially Firefox and creating new tabs / loading pages constantly froze the browser for 10-30s. So far not the best experience (tested for ~11 days on a Lenovo P14s Gen 6 AMD).

Performance wise, the standard configurations are slow. You really need to spec it up, but at that point it goes over $3K which is a joke. Build quality, b

I considered the 6th gen AMD variant even with the lesser CPU. The performance is nerfed. It doesn't have adequate cooling. The AMD version has 1 fan and heat pipe while the Intel version has 2 fans and heat pipes and generally runs a LOT better, that's why I'm also considering the ThinkPad P14s Gen

So sad there's no ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 w/ AMD (in the same intel chassis) What do you think of the following setup? processor: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370, 64GB RAM no dedicated GPU SSD M.2 2230, Gen4, 256GB (will have to see at buy time if I can find a better one on amazon and just switch to it) 3 yea

I am not sure about that, for two reasons: NoteBook check review of the P14s gen 6 AMD (basically the same machine) does not seem to suffer from the same issue. My benchmark scores are lower, and the reason is the no-sense throttling (every sensor is showing in-range temps). My previous P16s Gen 2 A
