Windows on Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme is finally what Arm laptops should have been

I have two WoA laptops - SP11 (X1P) and Lenovo T14s (X1E). I also have a Ryzen 7 T14s from work. The difference could not be more night and day. I hate to do anything on my AMD work laptop, it is so frustrating - bleeding battery when it's supposed to be in sleep, constant fan noise even while doing

Need help choosing a ThinkPad (after a really bad Legion experience)

If this is your first ThinkPad, go newer. The T480 is great for tinkering, but the T14 Gen 2 is the better daily driver for most people, faster RAM too. What you do gain is a massive generational leap in performance over any 8-10th gen Intel chip and you’ll feel it in every single task. Just open so

Looking to buy a 2019 MacBook Pro 16 for Linux, I need some suggestions

You can save a lot of headache by just getting an equivalent year X1 Extreme of ThinkPad P1 Gen 2. With a 4k display it is around the same price and everything will work out of the box.

AI crisis: Affordable Lenovo ThinkPad laptops are getting expensive

Yes. It was time to update my ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 OLED. I think it was $7k AUD around 2020 so I had that amount budgeted over time to replace about now. I want another OLED, 2-4TB SSD, 64-128GB memory and great video card. Priced up multiple ThinkPad models to around ~$12k-$16k AUD. Fuuuuuuuck

Laptop Recomemdations

Forget about T, E and X series in this case (except X1 Extreme). He needs a laptop with a dGPU, maybe Zbook Fury, Zbook Studio, Dell Precision 5000/7000 series or a ThinkPad P16/P1 Gen 5 and above or X1 Extreme gen 5.

Help me buy a Thinkpad!!!!

Look for A ThinkPad P53 or P15 G1, yeah they're 15inch, not 16inch and they're heavy, but they have GPUs and can game. If you'd rather have a lighter carry then look for X1 Extreme or P1, gen 2 and 3, they're the same chassis, just one has Quadro graphics instead of GeForce. If you must have a 16 in
