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

i daily drive a P16s Gen 4 (80+ GB of ram) and it’s an amazing machine. i have M4 Macbook pros too….and gaming rigs with GPUs, and even x8 Nvidia H100 servers … and lemme tell you. the Lenovo thinkpad P series are solid as a work and engineering machine and i want more of them. they are great

[UPDATE] Qualcomm, fsck you.

its becoming more of a problem now as more and more of them switch to soldered wireless. Last laptop I had I just switched to intel ax200. But my current P16s gen2a frigging came with soldered wireless. not OP - but also qualcomm victim here. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Other-Linux-Discussions/QCNF

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

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

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.

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

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

P14s Gen 6 AMD features up to 12-core CPU. Decent screen options, RAM and keyboard remain easily replaceable.

T1G & P1 Gen 8 - What is the best Display option ? (Bad Screens,..)

This panel should be good. It is a non touch panel so no problem of visible extra layer (for instance Lenovo OLED 4k touch panels have an add-on touch layer visible on bright images/videos). The down sides are : only 60hz contrast not so good (normal as it is an IPS) HDR contents will be not really

"Downgraded" from a Gen 4 to Gen 2 P14s, shocked at how much better Gen 2 is!

It’s a bit interesting to me how Lenovo seems to have backtracked on limiting repairability. My AMD P16s gen 4 has a replaceable keyboard and socketed RAM. Annoyingly, it has that stupid whitelist on the second NVMe
