P1 Gen8

I personally want a T1G which is a P1 with consumer graphics. Just the idea of a gaming capable ThinkPad really does it for me. I have an X1E gen 2 with a 1650 which does the trick for now. But I do want something newer eventually. Possibly will look to buy at the end of next year when this year's m

Really Looking to move to an AMD Thinkpad but don't love the configurations

Lenovo has made such a model line with the Z13 and Z16, which were high-end AMD models. Unfortunately, they did not sell well, so Lenovo discontinued them. Intel is paying a lot of money to support Lenovo in the development of the X1/P1 line, so naturally, these models are Intel exclusive. AMD did t

Thinking of buying a thinkpad

This was already mentioned but if you haven't yet, search for the hardware maintenance manual for the models you're looking at. Some of this should be in the user manual, e.g. you can see the list of customer replaceable units (IBMese for user replacement parts) and the instruction for that in the m

P16 Gen 3 announced at IFA

I suppose here's the answer (from this article) and not really what I wanted to hear for the P16 Gen 3: Alongside the change to USB-C comes a new feature, which for now is only available on the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 8: The right side Thunderbolt 4 port is modular and thus easily replaceable without

I've always been biased against Apple products since they make repairs unnecessarily difficult and costly. Steve Jobs was a hacker and a modder

Ce fel de procesor sa aleg pentru laptop

Opinie nepopulară aici: Ia-ți un Lenovo Thinkpad second hand sau refurbished. Seria P sau T sunt cele mai durabile. Îți găsești liniștit un hexa sau octa core iar memoria este ușor upgradabila până la maxim 48-96 GB RAM. În cazul în care ai decis să-i dai o șansă verifică modelele P1, ar trebui să f
