ThinkPad P1 Gen 8

ThinkPad P16 if mostly on desk, P1 gen 8 if you need a bit more portability. Desktop if it doesn't need to be a laptop, much more power for your money.

The top-end T1g/P1 models trade battery life for raw performance. I find the Ultrabook Plus model to be a good all-rounder, even for CAD with fewer part counts. All packages are decent deals considering the warranty. Personally, I would wait until the summer for the Lenovo P1 Gen 9 to become availab

Kalo mau rakit PC under 10 JT sih harusnya sebelum Oktober 2025, sekarang mah udh pada mahal, kalo mau juga laptop itupun kalo harganya belum naik, koq Lenovo yang 12jt atau ThinkPad P1 gen 2 bekas yang 9jt-an, gw ga tau yang loq tapi P1 gen 2 itu layarnya bagus banget, bahkan kalo lu sandingin sama

Used ThinkPad P1 Gen 4 is the best price:performance. Get a dedicated GPU with as much VRAM as you can.

I would get a P1, I have a gen 7, which would be out of your price range, but you can get a gen 4. I think it's the closest to a Macbook you could get. If you want new, A P14s Gen 6 AMD is at the top of your budget, but is a killer machine for sure.

A bit late to the party, but I will "echo" some of the sentiments already in the thread.I am currently a postdoc in comp chem, and I started "messing with these things (e.g. linux distros)" since I was in HS, as many of our fellow nerds. The TL;DR answer would be that nowadays most laptops are decen

Question: why do you want a laptop if you have no interest in mobility? You’ll much rather do this work on a well spec desktop with a pair of giant UHD+ displays than a laptop. Without an answer, this is an interesting A/B case. You can get more potent graphics in a “gaming laptop” with the conseque

The Lenovo is more durable for sure. Discreet GPU absolutely not required (new intel Xe is surprisingly robust) but not a terrible idea to accelerate CAD apps. Went with the Lenovo P1 for my kid but got it before memory prices spiked. Also a good option is to get the service contract that covers acc

I'm very happy with my P1 Gen 4 running Fedora GNOME. That being said, I paid less than 700$CA for an i7-118550H, RTX A2000 Mobile, 1x16Gb RAM and a 512Gb SSD. If you can just go with the MacBook Pro, I'd advise doing that (and saving money while you're at it). If you have to run x86-64 Linux and Wi

Lenovo has strange price policies. If you can buy directly from wholesalers or wait for a better price offer. I paid 3900€ for a p1 with i9, 64 ram, 2tb SSD, 8gb vram rtx2000 and the 5 years premium international warranty taxes included.
