The Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen 5 is the worst device I’ve ever owned.

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

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

Not liking the Thinkpad workstation!

Look at Lenovo yoga. Small, light, reasonably powerful. The graphics isn’t as good, but good enough. I’ve had one at work for a travel computer and can do cad on it. Microsoft surface isn’t horrible either. I’m a ME, and use a dell precision 7560 daily. Catia, MRP software development (api’s, custom

Question for Lenovo marketing; any chance a Thinkpad with a good gfx card will be available again in the near future?

At this moment, the Thinkpad with the best gfx card available for my needs is a P1 gen 7 with a nvidia 4060. The Ada cards don't offer the same performance and cost a bit more. This is nonsense. The RTX 4060 is an Ada card, and Ada generation cards do offer better performance than earlier Ampere car

$3000–$4000 usd (us) college laptop

I was gonna say get a Mac probably a 15" MacBook Air M5 maxed if you want light weight and killer battery or a 16" MacBook Pro but I saw you last sentence. They are really hard to to beat for school and general usage. I hate MacOS but I can't deny the hardware is the best on the market along with th

Good laptop for robotics degree between 1000-1400$?

That is a solid option. Never heard of them before. Neither from internet, nor friends or even AI. They really give an ability to customize RAM and SSD and some other modules. Not GPU or CPU though (it will be too good to be true). Moreover these modules are cheaper than shop variants now. If I had

HP laptop pricing is so out of control, management wants us to look at deploying Mac

Going on 7 years supporting an environment that is 85% Windows 15% macOS, I will say the Apple hardware is without fault, and for the most part macOS is too. It is a burden having to support two environments and two MDMs (Intune and Jamf Pro) though, but I think Intune is probably at the point where

The perfect laptop does it exi-

Lenovo is being a bit shady with discounts lately, most likely due to the RAM shortage, at least with my premier logon. The P14s Gen 6 (AMD) is currently around 47% off, but this does not include RAM if you go over 32GB (this was not the case last week). I guess this is also not the case for the Ryz
