I had to chime in that, if 14" vs 15.6" is not a deal breaker, P14s Gen 2 with Ryzen 5850U, 32GB RAM and integrated GPU is the most performant, silent, portable

I had to chime in that, if 14" vs 15.6" is not a deal breaker, P14s Gen 2 with Ryzen 5850U, 32GB RAM and integrated GPU is the most performant, silent, portable and generally capable laptop I ever had (and I've changed a lot).
I got greedy and switched to a MBP 14 with M1 Pro, which is also great, but almost everything (speakers and trackpad excepted) on P14s was either on par or even better (perf, ports, weight, noise, keyboard, build, screen, battery...). MBP is excellent, but I miss my Arch setup a lot and don't think I would miss anything from the MBP actually if I switched back.
I know Lenovo is going downwards with Thinkpad line, but P series seems to still hold well - for now at least :/
- elric 4y agoI hope the P14s Gen 2 is better than Gen 1, because that's the worst device I've ever owned (by a very wide margin). It constantly overheats, the CPU throttles down, and it becomes slower than my now ancient x230 ...
- alluro2 4y agoAre you referring to an AMD-based model? I had a Yoga Slim 7 with 4700U and P14s Gen 2 with 5850U and both were flawless in terms of performance, thermals and noise
- elric 4y agoI was referring to the intel i7 version, in my neck of the woods the AMD models are hard to get and usually can't be customized (for whatever weird reason).
