ThinkPad P16s Gen 4

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

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

If we look on the full specs page (https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P14s_Gen_6_AMD?tab=spec), there is no mention about restrict

I would say yes, MacBook is the best atm, BUT only if you don't look at the prices. I have a Lenovo P16s gen 3 for 1300€(MacBook pro starts at 2000€, 16" MacBook even at 2400€). And I love my Lenovo, superb product, nice power and nice battery life(I have the 155h processor and get about 8-10 hours

So I'm running Ubuntu 25.04 on a Gen 6 AMD p16s with the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 350. I didn't pick the fancy screen, but otherwise it's the same machine. My notes below might seem cynical, but I'm only emphasizing the lowlights so that you can make an informed decision. Your questions - Fans are super quiet

If you have a desktop, you're better off using that for games/3D modeling. Thinkpads make poor gaming PC's. The only current Thinkpad I think is worth considering for gaming is the P16/T16g Gen3 with 12GB or more of VRAM (and if it were my money I'd get no less than 16GB), but these laptops are a pa
