Gotta say, I appreciate Lenovo's warranty service

Lenovos hardware support is top tier, but when you have software issues... Eh. It feels like they don't give a damn no matter how many people report the same issues. One example: Some P16 series (P16v Gen2 in my case) fail to sleep. You close the lid, the fans keep spinning and the battery is flat i

Thinking of buying ThinkPad P16v, but Legion Pro 5 on paper has better specs. Is it all about specs?

If you're a corporation, you'll choose ThinkPad for Lenovo's support/repairs, tested and certified "it works with these docks/sofware" (so, no downtime to troubleshoot) and get a better bulk deal than retail. For retail buyer in this case, Legion is a better choice; OLED screen is gorgeous too, comp

Someone use Blender in Mac?

Well, if you want latest blender you need apple silicon. M1,2 are bad for blender compared to m3.In fact no laptop that I tested (including CAD station with RTx 3000 like zbook fury, dell or even Lenovo thinkpad p16v ) comes close to my m5 pro 20gpu. The magic is the memory, RT technology in apple s

I unfortunately can't speak to the RAM limitation in your workflow. If 32gb has been working for you so far (comfortably), there's no reason 32gb shouldn't be enough here. That said, I feel most universities should have labs to cover edge cases that a student's personal machine typically won't accom

Gyenge munka laptop

Lenovo p16v. Egy állat. Baszott nehéz de simán visz mindent. Gyors, jól hűt, stb... Jó, szoftverfejlesztőnek vettek fel, viszont technically csak Atlassianos cuccokkal foglalkozok, tehát locally ne futtatok kódot.

Thanks a lot, this is actually very helpful. After thinking about it more and checking my school’s requirements in detail, I decided to pull the trigger on the P1 with 32 GB. You’re right that for extreme edge cases, the university labs or a future employer’s hardware should cover that. The 64 GB up

Lenovo also stocks replacement parts such as batteries for a quite a few years. Every so often they have special pri

So, you need at least 64GB ram and processor you can have Intel ultra 9 285h or 385h. Lenovo ThinkPad P16v. Also you can consider thi
