[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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Why isn't there much love for the Thinkpad T16? Too big?

I used to swear by larger laptops until I sized way down from a W540 to an X13 Gen 3. I don't miss the number pad, certainly not more than I enjoy my laptop weighing barely over 2 pounds. And, crucially, the functionality between Lenovo's 12/13" and 14-16" laptops is largely the same, with the excep

Is editing videos too difficult without a P-series workstation?

To answer your larger question, no you don't need a P series to edit videos. If it's just 1080p then most modern machines will do it just fine. As long as you don't have the efficiency oriented chips (from either Intel or AMD), with modern iGPUs being powerful enough you don't even actually need a d
