Wow, I had these in 2012 on multiple machines and thought it wasn’t a year of laptop Linux yet.

#12Is there any laptop these days that comes close to MacBooks hardware-wise and run Linux?
Re: The ThinkPad P14s
#13Last time I checked the Lenovo Yoga Pro line has an aluminium chassis and also passes the military testing that thinkpads go through.
Honestly I didn't see much of point in paying more for a thinkpad loaded with enterprise specs(pro chip, for instance) and lacking amenities like a graphic card instead of just going right away to a high end consumer-oriented laptop like Yoga Pro.
Am I missing something?
Re: The ThinkPad P14s
#14I'm also considering that P14s AMD Gen4. But to do some ML stuff i need the damn Nvidia cuda cores :/ It has a USB4 port and could in theory run a eGPU but i can't find any infos if it would work.
Also it seams that the [1] intel 1360p is a bit faster? and i'm on the safer side because of real thunderbold support.

Do they still have the mouse nipple?

#16ThinkPad P14s = ThinkPad T14 with 64GB RAM and NVIDIA RTX A500 = 1mm thicker ThinkPad X1 Carbon which costs $1000 less

Every time a potential eGPU build has come up for me (~half a dozen times over the past few years) it's always made more sense in the end to simply build a generic ATX box, stuff the GPU in there, and just remote in. FWIW. The two times I tried anyway, because hey, fun new challenge, the primary lesson learned was that it was not worth it, most recently being ~6 months ago.

Performance-to-endurance ratio - unfortunately, no. But P14s (owned one before M1 Pro) has great build quality, performance is comparable, screen is good enough, keyboard is much better, sound is adequate, ports are better, portability is better... It's also very quiet even when under load. You're definitely not missing that much if you go with it instead of MBP 14, in my experience.

#20i have a machine quite close : i went for the p16s which is the 16 inches version. buying during christmas got me a price reduction and for 1100 euro i got a 7840U cpu, 64 gb of lddr5 ram, 1 tb samsung ssd, 16" low-power use, low-blue-light display, 89 Watt/H battery, 100W charger (instead of the default 65W one), fingerprint reader 5MPixel webcam and cardreader. for barely 1k euro you get an amazing machine. and it…
