ThinkPad P1 Gen 8

I have both a P1 Gen 7 and a MacBook Pro and as much as I love the P1 Gen 7, it sounds like a jet engine half the time, and the battery dies in about two hours. The MacBook Pro is silent and lasts all day and you just can't ignore that. I really hate it because I don't love Apple. I really love my T

Skip all the hype brands. Durable laptops with good Linux support are made by only 3 companies: Dell, Lenovo and HP. Discard all other options. Imo the absolute best laptop you can buy right now is the Dell Pro Max 16 Premium. See this video. Skip the GPU as always unless you really need it. Worthy

So, you don't like the look of the P16 - big deal, it is not the only model they have. The ThinkPad P1 Gen 7, the successor to your ThinkPad P1 Gen 2, has a very different aesthetic from the P16. Also, engineering wise, the P16 is VERY traditional in the way it is constructed. Under the hood, it is

Their business tech support is still top notch though. My mom was camping and they sent a tech out to her holiday trailer 90 minutes away from the depot three times with parts for her photography business laptop at no extra cost. You pay that $200 for the top tier 4 year on site business warranty an

I had a legion with your specs and switched to ThinkPad P1 gen 7. After using both, found the ThinkPad was more durable, had better battery life and didn’t weigh so much. Also the ThinkPad worked better with a docking station (Lenovo said there are no docking stations compatible with Legion).

Like, ThinkPads don't normally go bad, but it is a pain in the ass when they go. I had a P15 Gen 1, which as flawless. Sold and god an P1 Gen 2 with the 4k screen, and problems were constant. Battery life, was mediocre but that was the 4k OLED fault, but the major problem came in a way of BIOS updat

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
