Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5

Strengths

wonderful keyboard
wonderful trackpad
decent screen
decent speakers
Ethernet connectivity and optional one which is not so uh should be taken for granted
being charged by USB type-c which is wonderful by itself

Weaknesses

CPU benchmarks were kind of disappointing
multicore score was too low even against the X1 Carbon
single core score increased significantly with charger but multicore score still lower than expected
GPU benchmark scores (Open CL and Vulcan) were relatively high
SSD speeds are average, r-speeds are more than okay
device might not be suitable for heavy usage or demanding applications

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

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 is a laptop that promises to deliver everything you might need from a device in its class. With a decent screen, speakers, and a wonderful keyboard and trackpad, this laptop is designed for day-to-day usage. The Intel Ultra 7 155 U CPU provides a reliable performance, although the multicore score leaves something to be desired. Let's dive into the review to see if this ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 can live up to its expectations.

Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 1

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.
