End of an era: Why the construction of the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 is so significant

Should I get a Macbook Neo or a used thinkpad?

Eh, the cellphone CPU is kind of shockingly good, and that P16s with a 12xxx Intel processor is not going to give you much in the way of battery life, let alone general portability. I wouldn't buy the MacBook unless it could run Linux, but it seems like a pretty solid option. I hope Linux on ARM bec

First, it was the RAM, now it's the NVMe

Sure, just send the highest-tier MacBook Pro they're selling, with the Pro CPU (which is equivalent to an i9), and then complain that the "lowest selected specs" is too expensive. That's like seeing the ThinkPad P16s and then complaining that Lenovo is only selling expensive laptops, that's either s

How bad is the laptop supply chain?

Our company ordered multiple pallets of Thinkpads when the OpenAI memory news came out. Personally, I bought a P16s for myself from Lenovo because I think the prices will stay high for at least two years and probably longer.

Engineering Laptops for Engineering

Used/Refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad P series. Check Lenovo Outlet, eBay, etc. On eBay I see quite a few P16 models available in your price range. Personally, I would buy a P16 Gen 1 or 2 off eBay. Avoid the P series models with the -s suffix (ex: P16s) as those are not the same. If you get a workstatio

Laptop recommendations for estimators

Lenovo Thinkpad, if you have the budget, go p16 Gen 3 - it's a chunker but it has a dedicated graphics card, full size keyboard, upgradeable ram, dual SSD bays For a little less the p16S gen 4 is also great, similar uogradeability but a little more mobile Built like tanks

AMD CPUs, Nvidia GPUs, LPCAMM2: Redesigned Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 5 with AMD Ryzen 9 HX 400 announced

P16s this time also replaces the P16v it seems, which is why Lenovo opted for a unified design for AMD and Intel. P14s is a different story. It seems Lenovo still wants to use the T series design for the AMD variant to cut down on cost.

Suche nach passendem Notebook

Eine gute Liste, Lenovo auch bei mir #1. Vermutlich kann der OP aber auch ein paar Gramm sparen und sich den (leichteren) ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 ansehen

Help me decide (prices in AUD) P1 vs MBP - workstation to replace my desktop

While not "bad", the base display on the P1 is adequate but otherwise nothing outstanding. The 4k IPS or tandem OLED (which has its own issues, but is overall nice) would bring some parity, but the MBP display is the better one as configured Yeah that's a $500 add on option! 😣 I don't mind the exist
