Pros and Cons

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

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3

Strengths

The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850u processor is a beast when it comes to multitasking with several apps browser tabs open
The integrated GPU is one of the best on the market and all this with frugal power consumption
USB 4: great to finally see a USB 4 (40 Gb/s) Port available on an AMD laptop
Excellent keyboard, despite reduced key travel to 1.5 mm for some users
Long battery life of over 8-9 hours for typical office tasks
Rapid charging with a full charge taking over 1.5 hours and top up to 50% in 30 minutes

Weaknesses

Reduced key travel to 1.5 mm may be disappointing for some users
Some keys on the right have shrunk to accommodate the 16:10 chassis
No Ethernet port, relying on Wi-Fi or adapter
No fingerprint reader (optional 13 GBP/16 USD upgrade)
Soldered-on memory, preventing upgrades after ordering
No USB 4 ports on T14 Gen 3 Intel models, only available on AMD variants

The Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 1 is a powerhouse laptop designed for creators and professionals. On paper, it's a beast, with a potent combination of Intel Core i9 processor, up to 128GB RAM, and an NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 graphics card. However, my experience with this machine was not as impressive as its specs suggest. I'll delve into the details of its design, display, keyboard, speakers, and performance to see if it lives up to its promise.
