Dream laptop

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.

Bærbar som kan trække Revit (Tegningsprogram) uden problemer og lidt gaming på siden

Nu gamer jeg godt nok ikke på min laptop, men sidder at tegner i både AutoCAD, Inventor og Fusion.Jeg har en ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 med en I7-14700 og et RTX 3500, og den gør det glimrende.. Men den koster så også lidt, og måske lidt bulky til studiebrug. Ved ikke lige hvordan Revit kører på Mac, men ha

Buying Advice: ThinkPad for AI / Cybersecurity Studies

If portability doesn’t matter and performance + quiet operation are the priority, the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 or 3 is the best ThinkPad you can buy. It has HX-series CPUs, the strongest cooling in the lineup, supports very high RAM (ideal for AI and VMs), and sustains heavy loads far better than P1 or X1

Laptop Recomemdations

ThinkPad P16 Gen 1 and above or HP ZBook Fury Gen 8 or above if you want something more powerful (and heavier). ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 and above (X1 Extreme gen 5), HP ZBook Studio Gen 9 and above for something lighter but still powerful enough.

Zephyrus G16 as desktop replacement?

Been a 2021 G15 Zephyrus user before my G14 2024, I am an engineer, it gets abused at home and has handled stuff just fine. However mines a base variant with a 4050 and Ryzen 7 8845. My "true" DTR device is my ThinkPad P16 G2, but honestly build quality between Le Tank (Thinkpad) and Lil Guy (G14) a

Laptop with Rtx 5070

My honest opinion, stick to Lenovo, especially the P16 Gen 2. Most laptops are too small to allow for the required thermal management to the point that spec. make little difference. In essence, you'd need to keep an eye beefiest, bulkiest, and most horrendous looking laptop to lug around...the pure

Mac user here, i want to get a thinkpad for my work laptop

Nah, P series's RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell are 8 GB versions, it's roughly the same ballpark as an RTX 5060, just with professional driver https://psref.lenovo.com/product/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P1_Gen_8?tab=spec IMO if OP happens to need a beefier GPU with roughly the same spec and weight without going for th

Help finding a used Thinkpad for under £800

If the 15" + is a non-negotiable look at T16 G3, although cost very much dependent on chipset, and fitted display, many will be over £800. Performance models such as P16 G1, are a lot heavier 3kg (T16 under 2kg), and likely around £1000. P16 is a workstation machine, discrete graphics, you wouldn't

Mon pc portable thinkpad t15g Gen 2 a failli foutre le feu chez moi ...

Les Thinkpads P c’est vraiment de la daube (C’est un P15 Gen 2 en déguisement, seule différence c’est une RTX 30 consumer à la place d’une RTX A professionnelle). Power limits basses, refroidissement pourri au point où le Legion 9 est le vrai laptop workstation de Lenovo et super cher parce que r/th
