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

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 suggestions for CE?

What do you consider decent battery life? I think the Dell XPS 15 or ThinkPad X1 Extreme could be a fit. Not quite the amount of VRAM you are looking for but I'm not sure why you are looking specifically at VRAM. ThinkPad P1 series has some GPUs with 8GB of VRAM if you really need.

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

Dell precision 5550

I second the ThinkPad P1. You would want the P1 instead of an X1 extreme. The P1 is a true workstation system with professional grade nvidia graphics that have ISV certifications for the apps you'll be using for your engineering stuff. Not saying Lenovo is perfect but they do tend to fail less than

Thinkpad options to research?

Thank you. the 1-3 year window was absolutely not clear, probably because there's so many moving parts here. The core answer to your question, which I see you've since edited, is ThinkPad E and L series. T series is historically (10+ years ago) the machine that mixed "thin" with "internally flexible

What Thinkpad should I get

Any T/E/L series would probably be fine. Check with the help documentation on your 3d rendering software to see if it can use a graphics card. Sometimes modeling or texturing can be accelerated and sometimes it just needs to happen on the CPU so whether or not a P series (or something else witha GPU

is the t480 good?

Well. ThinkPad T489is a great machine. For that price range. I mean a standard i5 ìth Gen, with 256 storage and 8 Gb of RAM is worth 100/150 usd. 4 cores/8 threads is plenty enough for what you want to do. But it lacks a Discrete GPU. Black Ops is not a light game. It can probably run the game, but

X2P-42-100 Benchmarks/Review?

The Geekbench GPU compute performance is really poor on these GPUs for some reason, relative to the 8 Elite Gen 5. The current numbers we have for the X2-85 wildly vary and it's not a big sample size but I would have expected OpenCL to be significantly better on the Adreno X2-85 than the Adreno 840
