One of the first things I TURN OFF on laptops that have it. Annoying, changing brighness.
Review [notebookcheck.net]. Lenovo considers this a workstation, but it doesn't have a dedicated GPU. AMD CPU is two years old but still has great performance. Weight is 3.21 lbs per the review.

Specs are ok except that crappy screen. Only 300nits and worse the 45% NTSC color gamut. That's more for like $399-$499 bargain basement laptops.

oh no it's a U processor and it's considered a workstation?
U is better than HS. You won't notice a difference in performance but will notice a difference in battery life. Other than the display (the 400 nit low power panel will give an even longer battery), this is a great config.

Quote from NavyGame2578 :
A laptop with 32GB of ram and a Ryzen CPU like this made for business professionals is very good for most college students. If the student is doing engineering 3D models or working with 4k media, they may need a more power machine, but 95% of most other students should be fine. This is better than what most businesses give their staff every 5 years. If your not sure, ask the college what the student will require for their major, engineering colleges generally have specs for laptops or provide students with one.
if they were working with 4k media they should throw this 45% NTSC junk in the trash

I have the E16 gen 2. Display works perfectly fine for what the laptop was purchased for. Screen obviously looks crappy next to my MacBook Pro but that's a non-issue for basically everything that people buy ThinkPads for.

If you want to edit pictures/videos or want a laptop for consuming media you might want to reconsider a ThinkPad anyway.

Keyboard is exactly the same as T-series. I'm typing on a P14s AMD Gen 1 - had it for over 3 years and it is rock solid. Note that you can't up the memory in this model but you can swap the SSD - it is easy to pop the bottom cover and swap the drive.

To those complaining about the standard panel, keep in mind that Dell's base panels have been much worse. I've used the base panel (got that one because I got a touch screen and I'm cheap) and it has been fine, but I hook it up to a 32" 4k monitor.

Grabbed the OLED version last November as the replacement for my old gen3 carbon x1. It survived numerous international and domestic trips probably some mild to moderate abuses. Totally meet my expectations for a mid to high tier thinkpad. Battery time may be an issue for some people but the intel version won't do any better.

what the hell are you talking about? thinkpads are just another mediocre laptop brand like any other. a good screen helps any laptop not just macbooks and the flagship thinkpads all have OLED. cant believe i read such nonsense

How does one reasonably compare computers with such different specs? I'm looking at the one posted in this thread vs. this: Lenovo ThinkPad P53s Home & Business Laptop (Intel i7-8665U 4-Core, 32GB RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Quadro P520, 15.6" Full HD (1920x1080), Fingerprint, WiFi, Bluetooth, Win 10 Pro) (Renewed) https://a.co/d/aXafBOs

I'm on the older version with 4750U right now. I upgraded to 40GB RAM and 1GB HD (from 8GB/256GB) and it's a champ. I use it for CAD, 3D, gambling, process simulations, spreadsheets, porn, PDF editing, etc

Having actual home, end, pageup/down is one of the things I never thought I'd care about until I had to use Fn key combos on a Dell for these keys

Quote from NavyGame2578 :
Its a very good system and pretty decent for the price. Compared to the $600-700 ThinkPad E14, this one has more ram 32gb vs 16gb and a Ryzen 7 CPU vs a Ryzen 5, plus a Graphics card.

I purchase a lot of Lenovo laptops. No issue with the newer business ones yet, still running my 6 year old Thinkpad X1 daily. Yoga ones sometimes the hinges break. Old ones from 12 years ago had hinge problems too. Have not been an issue lately.

Had X1 carbon no problem, X1 Yoga Gen 4 battery disconnect issue not covered due to being past 1 year with 3 year warranty though I argued what if it's the connector needing to be reseated told nope. T490 audio issues support couldn't diagnose the issue remotely sent a tech they replaced the speakers. Issue persisted then they called a higher level tech and they found it was a driver issue that didn't originally resolve with manual reinstall. Now again same issue and they can't figure it out remotely wasting a lot of time. Old T440, T520, X220, X260 no issues

This is hardware-wise exactly the same as the T14 gen 3. Only difference is "P14S" has special GPU drivers for professional software like CAD. Personally, I think this is overpriced for a two generations old machine. Gen 4 should be this price.
