Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 1

Strengths

This thing's smaller, it puts out less heat and all of that fun stuff so let's take a look at uh let's jump right into a benchmark
It's super light and I'm used to the five pound laptops of my pass and this is definitely a super light one that you'll be able to get around with
The p series is not made to be rugged but it is made to be powerful with cad and that's what you get here
This may well be the most powerful light system I've ever gotten my hands on

Weaknesses

It feels like it lags a little bit and it feels like it feels like uh well it definitely feels like it lags but it definitely tests kind of poorly too
I expected better performance from this laptop, especially considering its specs
The battery capacity is only 4800 mah, which might be a concern for some users
You won't be able to run this in dual channel due to the single RAM module

Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 3

Strengths

The laptop's durability is impressive, with a sturdy lid and base that show no flex.
The keyboard is phenomenal, with long key travel, clicky feedback, backlight, and spill resistance.
The input/output options are extensive, covering the left, right, and back sides of the laptop.
The laptop has good battery life, lasting 8 hours and 47 minutes in web browsing or 8 hours and 13 minutes in video playback.
The Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 3 squeezes out a higher Cinebench score than the HP EliteBook, despite carrying the same Core i5 1235U.
The laptop is upgradable with two SO-DIMM slots for DDR4 memory as well as one M.2 slot for generation 4 SSDs.

Weaknesses

The laptop's build quality could be improved, relying on plastic instead of metal chassis like some other brands.
The lid cannot be opened with one hand, which may not inspire confidence in a laptop of this price range.
The display has limited brightness, reaching only 256 nits at its peak.
The display's color coverage is subpar, reaching only 54% of the sRGB gamut.
The display's accuracy is also compromised, with some drifting in our design and gaming profile.
The battery life may not be enough to last through a whole workday's worth of mixed use for heavy users.
