I have a Thinkpad p16s (amd 6850U), and while it's overall a good laptop, I would not recommend thinkpad again.
Aside from a hardware defect at the beginning (cpu cooler not correctly installed), they disabled S3 sleep in BIOS after an update and sleep is sill broken. Unless I boot with `processor.max_cstate=1` the graphics lock up ~once a day (even if you keep it idle and on AC), and resume is more miss than hit.
It seems to be a known and ignored bios problem. (Some say on windows, too. I didn't check)
Wayland/sway might be less capable than good old X on resuming from graphics lockup, but I really disliked Thinkpad BIOS this time.
- fbdab103 3y agoAm I falsely remembering the world, or was there a time when sleep really did work fairly reliably? The new sleep states seem strictly worse with multiple issues.
- zargon 3y agoThis has been my experience with my T14s Gen 3 (6850U). S3 sleep is no longer available, and S0 sleep fails to resume at least once a week. Even in Windows (10 and 11). I eventually got them to replace the machine with a new one, and it has the same problem. Otherwise I like the laptop. But the inability to wake from sleep cancels anything good about it and makes it not much more than a paperweight.
- ysleepy 3y agoI have the P14s with 5850U and the S3 sleep is available when setting the sleep mode to "Linux" in the BIOS, maybe they removed that in newer models though.
