ThinkPad P16 if mostly on desk, P1 gen 8 if you need a bit more portability. Desktop if it doesn't need to be a laptop, much more power for your money.

I have lenovo x1 carbon the best laptop I had experience with. Personally I have a p16 v version for heavy compute. I have used dell precision and business edition. Not fan of HP. But I moved myself to AVD.

Person who made this sheet shows hints that he has little knowledge about configs and pcs. 1-NPUs litterally are still useless basically only windows and some apps use them for basic things like background blur and some shit, if you hvae a good GPU its basically redundant, ik npus are more efficient

Part of it is they're pretty much made by a completely different company. Most ThinkPads (T, X1, X, P, L, Z and probably also the X9 to get their intrusive thoughts out) are designed and engineered by Yamato Design in Japan, a design firm that has existed since the IBM days. They also make a lot of

ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 with Core Ultra 9 285HX and RTX 5000 Pro P series, but not the -s models, those are rebadged T14/T16 besides few exceptions Depends on the market, your budget and performance needs.

There is no good way to handle this why not buy a cheaper / older gpu. You’re going to lose more time on money, support and licenses to run all of this then actually buying a 2nd machine. I would just buy a ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (16” Intel) Mobile Workstation something like that

If using a RTX Pro (formerly Quadro) graphics is required due to drivers or the ISV certification, you can buy an used workstation on eBay for a decent price, I bought a ThinkPad P16 workstation laptop with a RTX A3000 with 12GB for $1000. There are others brands like Dell or HP too.

A used ThinkPad P16 might be the way to go.
