Loves their P14s with a Ryzen 8840HS; much better thermals and performance than their old T14s, and it does great in games.

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.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 200 days ago

Owns a personal T1g Gen 8 with the RTX 5070, which generates local AI images almost 50 percent faster than the RTX 2000 in their work P1 Gen 8.

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 · 219 days ago

Had to readjust to the Ctrl and Fn placement on their P14s G5 but finds it better since they type on many other computers.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 244 days ago

Has a P14s Gen 5 AMD with a matte OLED and sees no grain issues in normal use, only occasionally while watching movies at non-native resolutions.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 248 days ago

Owns a T1g Gen 8 with the tandem OLED and finds graininess most visible on white backgrounds at all brightness levels, though the display is otherwise gorgeous for content.

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.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 264 days ago

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

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 289 days ago

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 292 days ago

Has the 64GB, OLED, RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell P1 Gen 8, reports no Nvidia driver blue screens and says it feels really well built with a magnesium alloy keyboard bezel.

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 · 306 days ago

Hates their AMD P14s Gen 5 because it manages only about 4.5 hours even with the largest available battery.

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

Finds the P1 Gen 8 insanely well built, premium and sturdy with no wobble when typing hard, and the fan is only audible when the dGPU is in use.

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 · 359 days ago

Expected to hate losing trackpoint buttons but found physical buttons on another ThinkPad felt slow compared with the P1 Gen 7 haptic trackpad.

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 · 431 days ago

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 433 days ago

Finds the P1 Gen 7 far from silent even without gaming, and the Lenovo dock station does not recognise the monitor after hibernate despite updated drivers.

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 · 434 days ago

In a Speed Way test the RTX 4090 in their P1 Gen 6 peaked at 103W and they say it definitely runs hot.

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.

Reports internal speaker problems on the P1 Gen 7 and returned the unit they had.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 576 days ago

Gets about 8-11 hours on their P14s Gen 4 with the base screen and tweaks on Manjaro Linux.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 639 days ago

Not the best, getting only about five to six hours on battery alone.

Reddit · r/laptops · 716 days ago

Owns the ProArt P16 and wishes they had bought the ROG instead. The 60Hz refresh rate is their biggest complaint, with occasional screen tearing in light gaming.

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 907 days ago

Their AMD P14s Gen 4 did not run any hotter than their T14s Gen 3 AMD.

Reddit · r/laptops · 953 days ago

Reddit · r/thinkpad · 1038 days ago

Has an AMD P14s Gen 4 that has been awesome and recommends AMD over Intel.
