my unit delivered in 2 weeks. order on Aug 24, shipped on 9/3, delivered on 9/10
tdp max 100w. so going 3080 doesn't make a lot of sense unless you can use the 16G video ram
SSD is OEM Samsung 980 pro
the laptops GPU runs quite cool, and I have no doubt it can handle more tdp if the power is supplied. the CPU however, could reach upward of 100 degrees. the thing is that this processor would have no problem going as fast as it can if temperature and power allows.
the fan stays quiet during the entire time.
build quality is traditional Thinkpad with proper sandwich style roll cage design, if you had one, you know what it like.
biggest downside is that there is no USB c charging at all. unlike zbook, where you can get USB c charging if you have to, just slower. this one? you got to used that rectangle port to charge.
the coupon code works for all system configurations. so if you feel that you are going to use external monitor most of the time, and can live with half the ram and hdd size for now (you can always upgrade), and be fine with 3070 (at 100w, difference between 3070 and 3080 is 5%, if even that), you can get the 1080P screen 3070 for 1.7k or something

I found it worked well for fps games too. Much better than a trackpad at least.
Pros -
The keyboard
Every screen is the best of its class. The IPS screen and the OLED are amazing in 4k spec. Even the higher-spec 1080p screen is nice
4 RAM slots
Robust cooling (but it has its limits)
Indestructible mil-spec chassis
little things like the camera shutter, trackpoint, full-size SD card slot, etc.
Many ports - 3 TB, 2 USB-A
The BEST support* (assuming that there are parts in stock)
Very repairable - all schematics/blow-up diagrams are easy to download and view. (Sadly, the AC jack is not replaceable like it was when Lenovo used barrel-plugs)
Cons -
Hard to compare prices as this category of laptop doesnt really exist en masse (It isnt a gaming machine or a workstation-class...more like a creator's machine)
Very heavy (even amongst workstation class machines)
Throttling at the highest level of usage (Small FFT P95 torture test and linpack, for example)
Dated design with the bezels (but this isnt really Lenovos's fault. No one mass-produces 4k 16 inch screens yet, and only Samsung makes OLEDs at this size, and just one size)
The graphics will be limited due to the cooling capacity, by design. (My GPU has a 90w variant of the RTX 4000)
All in all, I cant recommend the machine to many people unless you are either a designer, or if you have a serious Thiccpad fetish. I am in the latter, and have used X and W series laptops for the past 10 years. Every single one worked until I stopped I using them. If youre a gamer, move on.
