Owns a P1 Gen 8 and finds it super nice and exactly what they wanted.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 147 days ago

Owns a P1 Gen 8 with RTX 2000, 64GB RAM and Core Ultra 9; local AI models larger than about 6 to 7GB become slow once they spill from the GPU into CPU and RAM.

Uses a work P1 Gen 8 with an RTX 2000 alongside a personal T1g Gen 8; for gaming and non-AI tasks the two perform within 5 to 10 percent because TDP is the limit.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 200 days ago

Bought a T1g Gen 8 cheaply but running Linux with the Nvidia GPU took time to stop it switching on and draining the battery.

On their P14s Gen 5 AMD it is the first ThinkPad where they had to swap the Ctrl and Fn keys in BIOS, which they strongly dislike.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 248 days ago

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 264 days ago

Owner of the P1 Gen 8 who finds it runs much cooler and uses less power than their older P1 Gen 2, with core temps staying in the 50s to mid 60s.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 264 days ago

Long-time ThinkPad owner calls the P1 Gen 8 with tandem OLED the best Windows laptop they have used, praising the screen, sound, coolness and its role as a workstation replacement.

Tried a P1 Gen 6 that sounded like a jet and overheated constantly, so it was returned.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 289 days ago

Their P1 Gen 8 (Ultra 7 255H) suffered random black screens caused by the Intel graphics driver; the problem was gone after updating to the newest driver.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 298 days ago

Bought a Gen 8 with an RTX 5070, Core Ultra 7 and tandem OLED at a big discount, but found the OLED quite grainy and would pick the 4K IPS instead.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 337 days ago

Just got the P1 Gen 8 with 32GB and finds it loud at times for Visual Studio work, though otherwise a good machine.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 342 days ago

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 345 days ago

Had screen freezes on their P1 Gen 8 only when no external monitor was attached, and the crashes stopped after downgrading the Intel graphics driver to the Lenovo-listed version.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 361 days ago

Their P1 G7 with an RTX 4070 does pretty well at gaming.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 361 days ago

Their T1g (Core Ultra 7 265H) has the black screen problem, which a rolled-back Intel graphics driver seems to help, but they also requested a replacement.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 362 days ago

Pretty great so far with 64GB, 2TB, i9 and OLED. A large Visual Studio build takes 2m 44s versus 6m 32s on their old Surface, with about 7.5 hours on battery in balanced settings.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 362 days ago

Their previous Surface Laptop Studio 2 was always slow from thermal throttling and had brutal battery life.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 365 days ago

Received a P1 Gen 8 with the 3.2K OLED and finds it much quieter and cooler than their old X1 Extreme, with fans mostly off; the screen is fantastic, though they would have preferred physical TrackPoint buttons.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 433 days ago

On their P14s AMD Gen 5 a USB monitor is not detected after suspend or hibernate, so they must disconnect and reconnect it.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 492 days ago

Just got a P1 Gen 7 and finds it fast with a beautiful OLED, a nice keyboard and long battery life.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 506 days ago

Has used a P1 Gen 6 for about two years; it has served well but the 13th Gen platform gives worse battery life than their old X1 Extreme Gen 2 and it gets slightly too hot in warm weather.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 510 days ago

Bought a maxed-out P1 Gen 7 and likes its size and weight, crisp screen, solid build and surprisingly good speakers; fan noise is noticeable under load but not annoying.

Reddit · r/SuggestALaptop · 539 days ago

Chose the P1 Gen 7 with the RTX 4070 after problems with MacBook Pros. Good battery life, keyboard and trackpad, charges fine from a 100W USB-C charger; fans need TPFanControl2 to stay calm.
