And now let me give you another information. The USB4 specification is developed by USB Consortium based on the Thunderbolt 3 protocol, after that was transferred to USB consortium. Any USB-4 device can implement a mode called USB4 PCIe Mode where the PCIe Devices can be connected to a Type-C USB4 port, without even needing official Thunderbolt certification. That was the main goal of the USB consortium, to make it generic and independent of platform or custom licensing.
Now Microsoft also forces all the vendors to enable this USB4 PCIe Mode, if they implement USB4. As a result, you can actually connect most of the past Thunderbolt 3 compatible devices, including eGPU docks to it, even though the device does not have official Thunderbolt certification but just USB 4. Asus ZenBook S13 with Ryzen 6800U has already been tested with that.

-much better keyboard
-better all-around performance
-lighter
-presumably better battery life with a bigger battery and more efficient CPU
-general feel of the laptop. the textured coating on high end thinkpads feels very good on your hands. i hate the typical cool, metallic feel on aluminum laptops.
it's everything combined that makes it worth the jump (for me). I actually would if I didn't already purchase a laptop recently.

The build quality will be amazing but ultimately can't justify switching from a 780 dollar 2022 Yoga 7i which appears to have similar screen (no touch on the P16 and glossy for the Yoga). Don't need the extra RAM although having 32Gb is certainly handy.

I was supposed to wait 3+ months for my $1150 Legion 5 17" 5800H/3070… IIRC, I got it in around 2 months. Baller.
Also had to wait a long time for my Samsung Flex2 Alpha. Waited so long that I got the "next" year model with same specs though and Windows 11 😂 Mine was supposed to come with Win 10.
If you have a laptop now, I'd buy and wait for it. You can always cancel or return it if you find something in the meantime.

But the Yoga has surprised me quite a bit, the unibody chassis and finish on this laptop is quite good. There is zero flex anywhere on this laptop and it just feels sturdy. It won't have the magnesium structure frame like the P series do however.
For the price difference of 600 dollars and a laptop not meant for workstation use, I think I'm better off saving my money.
I am a bit jealous of the AMD processer on this though. The 12th gen Intel processors quite frankly suck at efficientcy. Their iGPU is also behind. They sat on their laurels for way too long and now AMD and Apple will have the lead in the efficiency front for at least 1-2 more generations.
