I am an College student looking at a new device, I was originally looking at the Asus Proart P16 but due to some concerns I avoided it. I found the Thinkpad T1g or P1 which has what I was looking for, 16 inch display, keyboard without numpad, decent battery life and a good display. Currently there are many options within the lenovo website which confused me on what to get.
I also want to ask, if any of you own this device how bad is the fan noise, does it make noise while running simple tasks like browser and Excel sheets, or starts when doing GPU intensive tasks
damn bruh, you’re a college student with a 2000$ budget?!
The issue is that the T1g and P1 G8 have really suspect screens thats only 60Hz (which will make even scrolling feel choppy), while the P1 Gen 7 only has an RTX 2000 Ada which is only as good as an RTX 4050
if you really got a $2000 budget for a Thinkpad, I highly suggest upgrading the P1 Gen 8 into the Tandem OLED option, it will be a night & day difference
I was interesting in the G16, but chose to avoid due to concerns on reddit, and also due to wanting a machine that looked more professional and not gamer. If there are any options that are cheaper I might consider as two grand is still a lot of money to spend.
I’ve seen many people complain out the LM, or out software issues, but mainly another reason I’m leaning toward the Thinkpad is it had a right ctrl button which I use often
Interesting, what is the difference between this and the Thinkpad, currently the price on theses are similar, I personally didn’t consider it as it had numberpad keyboard
