Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 2

Strengths

The laptop has a nice and tactile keyboard with reasonable key travel, perfect for programmers and those who need to show CAD designs.
It features a sharp 4k display option that's not found on Lenovo's T series of laptops, making it stand out from the crowd.
The ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 has a lot of ports, including USB-C, which is great for productivity and connectivity.
The laptop's battery life is decent, with up to 9-10 hours of use in business light mode, thanks to its 51Wh battery.
It comes with a 65W fast charger that plugs into the USB-C port, making it easy to top up the battery quickly.

Weaknesses

The laptop's performance is not exactly stellar, with the Nvidia T500 card not being enough for serious CAD or architectural work.
The fans can get a bit loud when pushing the laptop hard, although they're well-tuned and not roaringly loud.
Surface temperatures can get hot on the underside if you push the laptop to its limits, but it's not usually an issue in normal use.
Replacing the RAM or Wi-Fi card is difficult due to their soldered-down nature, which may be a problem for some users.
The laptop's design, while nice to touch, can feel a bit cheap compared to other ultrabooks on the market.
