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 P1 Gen 3

Strengths

The ThinkPad P1 Gen 3 has a clean professional design that is minimal but perhaps a bit conservative.
It's super light, weighing only 3.75 pounds.
The keyboard is solid and most Thinkpad keyboards are, with the exception of the P1 Gen 2 which had the worst keyboard I've ever used on a laptop.
The 4k OLED touchscreen display is exceptional but it does add an extra $600 or so to the base model.
The price tag is refreshingly low, especially for professional mobile workstations, starting at around $1700.

Weaknesses

The trackpad could be a little bigger and better.
The GPU is a weird downgrade from the previous model, using the Quadro T2000 Max-Q design instead of the proper Quadro T2000.
Battery life is subpar, only lasting around 3 hours in typical workday usage.
The battery life is especially disappointing when compared to other mid-tier laptops like the Dell Precision 5550.
The lack of an Ultra Performance mode in the BIOS settings is also a drawback.
