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.

It was going to be my next (sixth) thinkpad, but the coil whine made me rule it out. P14s Gen 6 AMD coil whine noise First Impressions of the ThinkPad P14s G6 AMD

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

My old T25 had both charging ports .... the USB-C one and the Lenovo connector. 98% of my time using that laptop, I've used the Lenovo connector ... I've since upgraded to a P14s Gen 6 (intel) which uses only USB-C and my ports are already loose from plugging and unplugging the cable ... the machine

I have one too, a "slightly" beefier version with 2TB, 96GB and 265h. https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/ThinkPad_P14s_Gen_6_Intel?M=21QT000RCK Please check if your speakers sound well on volumes below 27%.

no dedicated GPU :( This is my first time try, newbie!! 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 860M (no dedicated GPU) DDR5 32 GB RAM 1 TB SSD NVMe PCI-E 4x @ 16.0 GT/s

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).

For the ThinkPad? It's an older model. and you can find options with more processing power/newer for similar pricing. Examples: Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6

The internal layout and motherboard are completely different though, if you scroll down you see the P16s has 2 fans 2 heatpipes 75wh battery while the E16 is 1 fan 1 heatpipe 64wh battery. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Most-powerful-AMD-14-inch-ThinkPad-with-Ryzen-AI-9-HX-Lenovo-ThinkPad-P14s-Gen-6-
