The laptop's OLED display looks spectacular
It's very portable, great for graphics and video
Pretty good for gaming as well
Ryzen offering in this form factor is nice to see
CPU score on 3D Mark test is high (1426)
Fan noise isn't bad when keeping the bottom clear

Weaknesses

Audio quality falls a bit short, speakers are tinny
Not ideal for music and games without headphones or Bluetooth connection
Fan noise can be a concern if not kept clear
Thermal throttling might occur under heavy sustained load
Intel i7 processor has slightly better graphical performance
Ryzen chip does much better for its CPU score on 3D Mark test

Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 1

Strengths

performance is great office tasks multitasking gaming video editing no issues at all for video editing i shoot with a canon eos rp editing with 1080p files but exporting in 4k for youtube again no issues with scrubbing the timeline or exporting videos...
the keyboard thinkpads are known to have great keyboards and the p15 is no exception i can type really fast on this
durable with military certification for dust vibration humidity temperatures and more when you get a thinkpad you know it'll last for a very long time
the display looks great and does a great job at removing glare

Weaknesses

i was surprised to be disappointed right away you're getting a design that you normally see from a powerful mobile workstation it's bulky heavy and it's got a lot of ports the bezel is also gigantic
my complaint of course is that large bezel i've also been leaning away from 16x9 displays and companies are starting to do the same
the speakers just don't provide a good experience music and movies sound teeny and i understand this wasn't built as an entertainment laptop but more of a work laptop
fan noise is also loud you'll hear the wishing sound when editing videos or performing software updates
