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?

3+ months wait for shipping, wish I could do that but I can't. Some of you guys are actually ordering and waiting?
Buy if you want it. If you see a better deal while waiting, you can cancel. 🤷 ♂️

Unless you don't have anything to use in the meantime…

I've owned 2 p series Touchpads before, not anything in the last 5-6 years and yes the build quality is better. The keyboard is much better.

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.
I own a P50 and 53. I read only P15 is the closest replacement and rest all Lenovo stuff. Is the P16s a real ThinkPad. The P50 and P52 have been into heavy use. Flew multiple continents as well as travelled so much on road. The build of both them were great. How would you compare them to these

I can understand a 13 or 14" laptop coming with a 53wh battery, but not a premium 16" laptop with a 400 nit 1600p display. Yes, AMD U series chips are efficient, but even then, this battery is way too small in such a large laptop. We know it does have an 86Wh option, so it's even more inexcusable that their top of the line AMD config with a 3 month+ delivery time doesn't even let you pay extra to get the bigger battery.
Just wait for a bit. These Ryzen 6000 based laptops now having very limited availability and configurable options or all the different configurations are not available. This P16s is available for less than 2 weeks. I also agree for this to have 60 Whr+ for minimum but what I was trying to say is that even with this smaller battery, you'll still get decent battery life due to high efficiency.
I have used IdeaPad 5 15 with a Ryzen 7 5700u and a 53 WHr battery and for normal usage, it still gets over 7 hours

Those laptops you're referring are of completely different category. Those are true workstation laptops with high performance H series cpu and powerful dedicated graphics. This is more of a big screen work laptop with U series laptop processors. This is essentially a T series laptop, same as T16s launched this year, with some workstation grade application certifications you see in P series. Build quality and durability is as good as Lenovo's T series laptops.

What type of laptop is this? Gaming? Or a regular laptop? More like a dell xps or inspiron?
It's a ThinkPad which is Lenovo's Business and workstation oriented series. This is similar to Dell's Latitude series.

Good point. I couldn't find any configurable option like they have had for most of their laptops in the past. Will definitely wait if I decide to buy this laptop as my main laptop/workstation at some point. Just can't get myself to buy a large laptop with such a small battery after owning a couple of LG Grams with 80Wh batteries. Even if the CPU is more efficient, you'll need a decent amount of power for that 16" display at mid to high brightness levels, and the last time I checked, DDR5 was supposed to be less efficient than low power DDR4. I would have been okay with a 70Wh battery. 86Wh will be perfect, but it may push the weight to 4lbs, which is a bit much. Maybe I'll just have to stick with LG Grams. If only they made a 16/17" Gram with a Ryzen 6800U, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

Is there Lenovo P series equivalent on Dell. Dell precision? How comparable is ThinkPad P series to Precision (?)
Lately getting some good deals at Dell. So considering them on next purchase, which is very soon. ThinkPad P or Dell precision or somebody else (z book?)

Dell Precision 5000 series is more or less equivalent to ThinkPad T and P(s) series. But unlike Lenovo, Dell doesn't have any AMD variants.

For all the people unclear about usb4/Thunderbolt, here's a video of it getting enabled with a bios update on a new ASUS laptop with 6000-series CPU: https://youtu.be/LCgC0WZp_X0

The big question, and only reason I haven't clicked buy on this Lenovo, is uncertainty about whether lenovo can/will enable this in a future upgrade.

Was really hoping with Zen 3+, they would add in TP but guess not this model. Love the efficientcy and IGPU performance over the 12th gen Intel though.

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.
TP or TB?

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.
technically yes, but it is whether Intel wants to license it or not (TB that is)
Intel is fine licensing the desktop market but laptop market is the lucrative part where it limits the licensing...
