I was also reminded of how great my ThinkPad is at multitasking. I upgraded to 32GB and that enables me to run every application I need without experiencing any lag whatsoever. I can have the full MS Office suite open together with Firefox (10+ tabs), Notion, Todoist, Clockify, Zoom and also run my practice management software (Smokeball) which I found does not support Mac OS.

Does not charge with the Lenovo Thinkpad docking Station

The laptop is good for travel. I fully expected it to work with a Lenovo Thinkpad docking station but it only partially does. The power drawn from the docking station isn't enough to fully charge. If you are playing a game, the laptop will quickly discharge. There is no way to connect with the power...

I don't mind too much the USB-A 2 port, as I always have a mouse or a microphone to connect to it, but it seems kind of pointless to not simple use a 3.1 port. Performance wise it is very very fast. Even just 8 Gb of RAM it feels fast, quiet and cold. I tried throwing some light games at it, and it handled them pretty well.

Defective hardware, poor support, nothing is returnable after 30 days

Within a month the laptop wouldn't fire up WiFi. Started becoming an intermittent issue until month 2 where it suddenly didn't work at all. Seller told me to get manufacturer support. Lenovo support, after many contacts said I could either physically take it into a repair facility or they'd send a n...

Camera color is very pale

I love the computer, but I got it mostly to do Zoom meetings and the camera has a very pale color quality that I don’t see a way to change in the settings. Everything looks very washed out and almost pastel. I got a cheap webcam and am using that instead, which works fine but isn’t what I was hoping...

Which of these laptops would you choose?

Seal broken... hopefully not tampered with.

seal was clearly broken and this was under the impression I was purchasing a new laptop. ... However I'm no expert by any means but it appears otherwise new and untampered with. Will update if evidence of use or tampering beyond the clearly broken seal.

Looking for Tuxedo Stellaris Alternatives with ANSI layouts - high end hardware and native display better than 1080p desired

- 2 Thunderbolt 4 - this is nice.

The battery working time is just 5 to 6 hours, which isn't what I read on the description here on amazon which is 12.2 hrs ....I have to charge many time to do work , and will never reach the 12.2hrs even from first charge.
