The point is, for someone looking to buy a Windows machine in particular, "just buy a Mac" is not good, sensible, or helpful commentary. That is all.
Community Reviews
This ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 stands out as a Windows workstation for demanding professional software, with a 16 inch 4K plus OLED touch display, 64GB of DDR5 memory, and a 1TB SSD. The 400 nit anti reflective panel is described as very viewable, and the 86Wh battery helps offset OLED power draw. The ThinkPad build, upgradeable RAM, and keyboard are also praised, along with Lenovo's friendliness for Linux. The main hesitation is price, which feels high for the spec sheet, and the numpad remains a dealbreaker for some. A strong fit for work focused buyers who want Windows flexibility and a premium screen.
Common Questions (4)
Yes, especially if your work depends on Windows-only specialty apps or manufacturing and machining tools that may not run on macOS. The ThinkPad line is also described as playing well with Linux if you want to avoid Windows later.
Yes. The 400-nit OLED with anti-reflective/anti-glare coating is described as very viewable, and the same screen on the P16s Gen 3 reportedly stays comfortable in a brightly lit office without needing more than 70% brightness. The larger 86Wh battery also helps offset OLED power draw.
The price is viewed as high for the specs, with the main pushback being that it does not feel like an $1100+ machine despite the OLED display and 64GB RAM. The value case is stronger if you specifically want a premium ThinkPad, upgradeable RAM, and a high-end screen.
It comes with 64GB DDR5 and a 1TB SSD, which is described as an unusually strong spec set for a ThinkPad. The extra memory and storage make it a better fit for heavy multitasking and large project files than lower-configured laptops.

The thing that drove me bonkers with MacOS was the shortcut keys and keyboard layout. Command, Control, and Option? Why, why? Ctrl+click to right click rather than a dedicated button? F5 doesn't refresh the browser? I had to re-think 35 years of using a computer and while yes, much of that is customizable, the minute you switch to your friend's machine, your customizations are gone and you have to remember the standard Mac layout.
All of that is to say - this deal will have appeal for people who don't want to put up with the "think different" part of MacOS. Lenovo plays pretty well with Linux and I'd suggest going that route if you don't want Windows on the machine.
