This is very similar pricing to the P16 (non V). Why would one choose one over the other? This seems to offer more easy upgrades.

P16 is Intel only.

This is substantially thicker than the P16s and heavier.

4.85 pounds vs 3.76 pounds.

You can see details here for the P16s:
https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/T...21K9000WUS

And here for the P16v:
https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/T...21FE0002KR

From a workstation perspective, and not a portability perspective, I completely agree. The P16v is a much better buy, which is why I went with it.

Thank you! Is the GPU swappable? I'm gonna guess it's soldered in.

Considering they have multiple GPU options, and also sell configurations in this chassis without a GPU, I highly doubt it is a soldered to the mainboard. I cannot confirm that though until I receive the laptop tomorrow. I purchased the Ryzen 9 configuration.

Here's an example of an RTX A2000 for a different Thinkpad model (P17):

Assuming the GPU is on a card, that doesn't mean it's swappable to a different model. There could be lockouts since thermals and power delivery are a concern in such a cramped form factor like a laptop.

Look up the hardware maintenance manual on Lenovo's support site.

I ended up with a ThinkPad P16v Gen 1 w/ pro 7840HS. There was the deal for the 7840u with 1tb/64gb ram. But this model has more usb io (2 usb 4 ports), 2 m.2 slots, slotted ram, 90wh battery and 800nits ips matte display. ~$1370 after coupons - model 21FE001SUS, $1859 before coupons (CELEBRATE2023 and WSDEAL13). Pay with paypal for another 5% back.

I went through this last year, buying then returning a machine from costco - 12700h, 3050, 512gb/16gb. That machine eventually went down, but after upgrading ram to 32gb/ssd to 1tb, price would be ~$150 more, around $1300, give or take. $1300 today is worth less than $1300 last year Smilie

Future expandability is important. 32GB is plenty sufficient today, and tomorrow. Having 2 m.2's is valueable as is the usb expansion.

I was wrong to assume it was on a card. It is definitely soldered to the mainboard. This actually makes sense now that I think about it. The Ryzen 9 configuration only has one GPU choice, probably because Lenovo doesn't want to have a million different mainboard configurations. Ryzen 7 gets two GPU choices, Ryzen 9 gets only the higher end GPU choice.

My Ryzen 9 configuration of the P16V arrived today. This is a chongus laptop!

I thought my Legion 7 was big, this P16V is girthy all around. Actually a really tight fit in my Filson Journeyman backpack.

Definitely happy with it though, I no longer look like a joke in business meetings when my Legion 7's RGB decided to go full rainbow effect on its own, despite repeatedly disabling the RGB lighting.

^^I doubt i'll ever be excited by laptop size. My desktop is housed in a full size tower (antec 1200) case w/ 32" monitor (4k), full size (from a decade or more back) keyboard and a trackball big enough to wrap my hand over. To me laptops are just a necessary evil with little/no upgrade path.

That model only has a 300 nits screen. I would expect it to be dim (depending on ambient lighting).
