Wow, what an awesome laptop. I've been sticking with Thinkpads for years as I love the business level build quality (and Commercial Vantage software that makes life easier)
800 NITS is a dream come true for folks like me that work next to a large very bright window, or often outside.
But $1300 .. hmm. There are other Thinkpads with 500 NIT screens for $600, they are a few generations old though. The sweet spot for Thinkpads is still probably two generations ago, the new buzz around them has evaporated so now they are reasonably priced.
One needs to make sure that the 800 NITS advertised isn't just for HDR content, but also for SDR, which we all use to get actual work done.

Ordered a p16s 2nd gen AMD version + 64g mem+ 1 TB SSD for $1500 after tax. Est delivery on 5/9. Will see if I like it!
Great system. I bought 1 for myself back in March for $1149 with 64GB and 1TB w/OLED when they were having a really good sale. I've since bought 4 more for friends (64GB) and clients (32GB). Solid machine for the price.
At this price, this should really come with at least 32GB RAM and/or a 1TB SSD.
Sort of agree, but I believe this is considered a "workstation" and comes with that A1000 GPU (which I know nothing about other than it's a "workstation-class" GPU), so you're paying more because of that.
Is the RAM upgradable on this machine? Any idea on what OEM branded RAM is used in the machine ? Does upgrading RAM void the warranty?
It is upgradable. If you read in the specs section and see SODIMM, that means there are memory slots for SODIMM modules.
On the other hand, if you ever see LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X (low power DDR5), it is soldered and is not upgradable. If the specs say just "DDR5", it very well may be upgradable.
Just curiousā¦Does anyone have an Amex offer on your card for Lenovo? I've never seen a Lenovo offer on my Amex, always seen Dell and HP's!
There is an offer on my AMEX Blue card:

Can anyone comment on possible disadvantages of the P series when compared to the T series?
For the past 20 years, I've only had Thinkpad T laptops. I know the P series is usually more powerful, so I understand what I would gain with the P series.
I would like help with to understand what I might lose (if anything) if I were to compare a P series and a T series (assuming similar specs).
no difference, just the P system provide some pro level graphic certifications that T doesn't
and i am speaking from the perspective that i had to replace parts and those parts are comment between T G series and P series.

Not much in my experience. I have a new P14s with 7840U/64GB RAM/4K OLED, and my dad has a 2-year-old T14s with 4650U/16GB RAM/1080p IPS. His is very slightly thinner and lighter (like, 1-2mm and 0.1-0.2lb) but almost identical in footprint. They are both silent at idle and pretty quiet under load.
@Dr.Wajahat - I am looking for a 64GB memory thinkpad, please suggest or post a solid deal on p14S, p16S or p16V
Here is a Dell Precision 5570 equivalent, $997 + shipping, with a faster CPU and 64GB memory: https://www.ebay.com/itm/226098147543. The only downside I see is no 4K display
interesting concept, I'll take a look. The V line is relatively recent one though, aimed for creators, and it's typically very expensive. Would be nice to get a similar V line from T series, which should be cheaper but pretty much have the same performance.
Yeah, I know. It'll be interesting to see how these V series pan out. I'd love to see the spec'd 800 NIT screen and compare it to my 400 NIT 72% screen that I'm typing on.
I have seen the 500 NIT UHD (4k) screen and it is gorgeous and bright, but paired with thermally-challenged 2nd gen T and P series. .. That said, if you're running browsers, excel, email .. not an issue really.

It would be much cheaper installing a new sticks yourself than your "out of the box" idea any day....
Where can I buy 64GB of low power DDR5 6400 RAM that would have made that a better deal if it were socketed?

Wow, lucky you. No luck on Amex Gold card
