Totally clueless laptop which costs an arm and a leg. Wouldn't touch it with a ten pole stick when Apple MacBook Air is priced as reasonable as it is. It doesn't have the battery life to become a full day workhorse, doesn't have the performance to become a workstation. The dGPU is nice but hardly any improvement over the iGPU because it's just a choice between horrible gaming and slightly less horrible gaming. Bad professional software performance and slightly less bad professional software performance. Anyone who considers this should wait for it to become half the price. Lenovo has destroyed the ThinkPad brand beyond recognition. Thinkpads used to be uniquely well built, easy to maintain and upgrade at a slightly more expensive price as premium, like 20-25% compared to the competition. Right now the competition is better built, easier to maintain or upgrade and half as cheap. Yeah, just show mercy and kill the ThinkPad brand quickly and avoid needless further suffering. The brand prestige has eroded to the point that Lenovo doesn't even market it anymore, why keep it alive to torture it.
Most businesses never pay full price for it. Also, some programmers who make $120k+ per year can easily pay for it for personal use and need it for C# programing or C++ hobby projects. Then there is the Linux crowd, who are usually programmers that make $80k to $300k per year. Lenovo brand is #1 among that community.
@@akin242002 >Linux crowd This is exactly me, which is why I got the P14s/T14 gen 1 AMD in the first place And also lenovo servicing is one of the best here (granted that there are some issues with stuff failing occasionally
@Super Voltages Also, some software for finance isn't compatible with Macs. Thus, ThinkPads giving people dual abilities of Windows OS and Linux helps a lot. Add on adjustable RAM and SSD for the future in case needed.
T14 gen 3 has really bad battery life :(

Are there still laptop buyers who buy before thinking?
