A similar Thinkpad P16s model with 32gb RAM went front page twice this month. Here are the threads so you can read through them.

My biggest beef with this is the soldered RAM (caveat: you might not every need more than 64 GB + soldered RAM gives higher performance in some cases) + the lack of Thunderbolt 4. If you can look past the latter issue then by all means pull the trigger.

TB4 and USB4 are practically identical. Tomshardware.com wrote a good article explaining both and their differences:
https://www.tomsguide.com/feature...difference

In the end USB4 will be cheaper (TB licensing adds extra cost) and cables can be twice as long as TB4 at 40Gbps.

In this case, as you caveated, 64GB RAM is enough and I'd never add more. The advantage is the soldered RAM is faster (much lower latency) and more reliable not needing a connector.

I have this P16s and love everything about it (except the reversed Fn and Ctrl keys!)

If this was a a question then it's a $70 difference between the P16s models. I'm debating whether or not it's worth it between part number 21K9001MUS with 32gb RAM for $1059 or part number 21K9001NUS with 64gb RAM for $1129 (see attached screenshot). If you actually need 64gb RAM then it's worth it for only $70 more. This pricing is with my Perks At Work discount.

I was looking at the current Lenovo Deals for P14s and came across this gem because I'd figure that the P14s's screen size might be too small for me. Building upon the current P16s deal, this one has 64GB in total and only $70 more.

s stands for slim variant. Less upgradibility, more portability. There are also non-s versions that are more upgradeable but thicker/heavier

Damn … looks great, even the nut chasers won't complain about the screen too much

looking for someone but with a video card (animation and adobe products)

This would fit the bill otherwise but I think long term a guy would work better

i've never considered an AMD cpu, but at this price, the only thing missing from my checklist is a touch screen, which, at this price/specs I could live without.

How would this U processor hold up for software development? I have some really large projects that take time to compile and try to max out the cpu for that, would this machine not be a good fit for that? It says it's for creators, which I take to mean power users, but that's not the same thing as code, so how would this machine compare to say the galaxy book 4 ultra , which is currently my top contender for my next machine?

appreciate any insights, as I would love to save like 1500 bucks if the performance differences aren't massive!

The Galaxy Book 4 Ultra has an Intel Ultra H processor and an Nvidia 40 series dGPU. Not really a fair fight, but CPU-wise this 7840u will be very close as long as it's kept cool. The AMD iGPU is going to get naenaed on versus a dGPU, but it should be able to beat Intel's iGPU if given enough power budget.

The problem is going to be multitasking. The Galaxy Book can use a lot more power all at once than the Lenovo can. The AMD CPU has to share like, 30 watts with the iGPU, but the Intel CPU gets at least 45 watts. And if you're using the Nvidia dGPU, then the Intel CPU doesn't have to share with anything. They get their own dedicated power budgets.

This means the Lenovo will slow down if you max out the CPU and the iGPU at the same time, but the Galaxy Book will just suck more power. The Lenovo will actually have usable battery life going all out, while the Galaxy Book probably won't even reach full speed without being plugged in
