ThinkPad P16s Gen 4

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.

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.

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

Based on the pricing, I'm guessing you're in Canada? The Lenovo Perkopolis portal (https://www.lenovo.com/ca/vipmembers/perkopolisgold/en/pc/ with password PerksGoldCA26!) currently has a great deal on the ThinkPad P14s and P16s and they're very customizable, starting at roughly $1200.

You didn't mention a price range? The two below are going to be more than capable with wide color gamut you need as an art creator, gaming not so much .

make to sure to sign up for Lenovo pro. you get a discount code. plus access to better sales prices. I bought a p16s gen 4 a few weeks ago for 42% off. that discount also applied to all upgrades purchased with it so the OLED 4K screen was also 42% off. plus the Lenovo pro code saved another $150CAD.

Don't buy a gen 1 for $1000... goto lenovo.com and lenovo outlet.. the latest laptops are like $800-1500 P14s AMD, X1 Carbon Gen 13, T14 Gen 6, T14s, X13. Also check lenovo outlet for deals on new/certified refurb: Check slickdeals for pricing: https://www.slickdeals.com https://www.lenovo.com/us/ou

The ideapad and inspiron are consumer grade systems and should not be considered. The E series is a budget grade business (E for economy), while not a bad system, there are better built systems, so if you're getting this one for a great price, go for it, but I would see what it would take to step in

I'd look for a used ThinkPad P53s, P15s or P16s. A new laptop would be double your budget. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadp/thinkpad-p16s-gen-4-16-inch-amd-mobile-workstation/len101t0122

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
