Dude, how many times I had to mention in this thread that Intel is no more the intellectual property holder for Thunderbolt. In 2017, Intel announced that it was going to transfer the royalty to USB Consortium and they completed that back in 2018. Now anybody who wants to implement Thunderbolt standard, can get it directly from USB Consortium / USB Specification Forum directly. Intel is no more the licensing authority for it.

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.

-superior build quality
-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.

It used to be couple of years back but Intel has made it available to USB Consortium and now anybody meeting the security need for Thunderbolt protocol can utilise it. USB4 is nothing but the generalized implementation of Thunderbolt 3. You need to update your knowledge base. Hasn't it occur to you how M1 Mac systems are having Thunderbolt 4 Support despite using ARM Based soc?

Specs look great! One question, are those not thunderbolt ports? Or are they and we don't need to put that in descriptions anymore? I'm not sure exactly what makes a thunderbolt port different from a usbc with power delivery and all the other options.
We didn't mention it because they're not thunderbolt ports.

I looked on their site, but didn't see a battery runtime, just a size. With integrated graphics, it should be good, right? Also, can it be charged via USB-C? I have a 6+ pound (plus a couple of more for the charger) P52 that only lasted 3-4 hours when the battery was fresh. I really could use a lighter laptop with a longer battery life.

All Laptop manufacturers normally give the capacity of the battery because Runtime depends upon the hardware and most importantly, usage by the user. But to answer your question, yes, yu'll be getting far better battery life than P52, mainly for having a far energy efficient Ryen 6nm+ CPU and no dedicated graphics.
2x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (data transfer, Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4)
Hope you are aware what does Power Delivery means.

Currently none of these Ultrabooks and even most of the gaming laptops don't come with 2.5" Bay for HDD. This laptop has a single M.2 2280 Gen 4 Slot which is currently occupied by the existing SSD.

Any idea why Lenovo is dropping the UsB4/TB3 from the AMD lineup? The initially announced PSREF and specs had it. The Z series also has it. It's a pity for this support to be absent from top of the line machines in 2022

No AMD cpu models has ever had Thunderbolt ports. It's an Intel only feature.

Could be they couldn't source USB4 parts due to all the chip shortages. You won't find TB on an AMD laptop. Regardless, USB 3.2 is going to meet the needs of all but a very few.

Reserved for Z16/Z13/T14s gen3 only, so the "premium" devices. Can't egpu on the "non-premium" devices. Might skip this year's upgrade and wait for next year's if they're going to pull this shit, or switch to HP EliteBooks - we'll see on pricing. Bu this deal is /not/ slick because they gimped these laptops.

Even the T14 (non-s model) gen3 doesn't have usb4. They want to make everyone pay the premium for the T14s. Scummy.

You think you know but what you know is couple of years old information. All Zen 3+ cpu can implement thunderbolt or USB4. In desktop market, there're plenty of AM4 motherboard with Zen 2 and Zen 3 having Thunderbolt 3. Google it.
