Great review. Love your conclusion. The version in Canada has backlit and UHD . It is super crazy expensive 2.3K but I need the numpad. I thinking of buying because of the I/O and the touch screen. I have currently the Dell 5540 and the sounds sucks and it has no touchscreen.
This is not real Lenovo Thinkpad P16 Gen 2 laptop! 4:27 and 9:51 You can see ethernet port on left side of the laptop. The real P16G2 laptop does not have the ethernet port - this is the only common complaint about this laptop.
Real P16G2 laptop is the most powerful laptop in the world. It has best components money can buy, and it does not resemble laptop reviewed in this video - everything is different. Its most important component is it vapor chamber cooling system (a.k.a. heat pipe). This is the main reason I bought the ThinkPad P16G2 rather than Dell Mobile Precision 7680 or HP Zbook Fury 16 G10 - these laptops overheat and throttle. Other components of my new laptop: Intel Core i9-13950HX vPro CPU, 192GB RAM, 2x4TB SSD, NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada GPU. I tested my new laptop with professional testing software called 3DMark. I ran test called Time Spy. The CPU throttled for about 10s in a test which lasted about 380s - good enough. 3DMark Time Spy score = 16500, GPU score = 17387, CPU score = 12800. I have three complaints about this laptop: its motherboard failed, its battery was not charging due to obsolete BIOS, and letters on its keyboard are almost invisible. The letters are thin and white. The keys have similar color - gray. (Warranty fixed first two problems.)
haven't tried both models, but still leaning twd the thinkpad due to past experiences with both brands over the last 15 years (office issued). thinkpads just seem to last without slowing down or running into heating issues for years. was thinking of getting the amd version, any downside to picking amd over intel for laptops?
Great question. AMD will save you a bit of money, but Intel is a little bit faster. If you want "fastest and best" go with Intel. But if you want to save about 100 or so - go with the AMD.
@@ShinigamiDa I know amd does well on benchmarks, my concerns are more to do with other real world stuff like wifi connectivity (I see some complaints about the Qualcomm component having disconnects and being inferior to Intel), and any other potential conflicts with software. I primarily use tableau, powerbi and teradata.
Dell looks like a better value, but believe me if it is not their highend lineups these hinge is gonna last exactly warranty period. Had inspiron 15, exactly what happened
I bought one few months back. With i7. Got hit by the infamous 0,39GHz throttling issue. Motheboard and cooling was replaced, no change. Now docking station (tested 3 units) stopped working (usb-c port controller died?). FYI: 32gb mem stick doesn't boot up. 16gb works fine. Laptop visually looks great, but I will go back to dell next time. //edit - another motherboard replacement is scheduled for tomorrow. Laptop is 4,5 months old.
Mobo replaced, at least docking stations work again. Dock firmware update app showed "DP hub" update error. DP = Display Port most likely. Throttling is another story.
Hello what is your true opinion about a used dell XPS 17 9700 I7 10th 1650 ti touch screen With price 750 $ Do you recommend it? I have doubts about it 😅
I read that dell has thermal throttle is high and the price , the dealer told me that was 1000$ and now is on sale for 750 I doubt about the condition of this laptop
I'd worry more about the condition than anything else. Dells can have thermal issues but overall I think they're good machines. Maybe try to find another option. @@mohamadelassaad2087
Sadly the ASUS PRO ART STUDIO has amazing speakers. It seems you are in the cinema. I would have wanted to have those kind of speakers in my Thinkpad T16
I feel like it wouldn't be a "feat" of engineering for Lenovo or Dell to put some rockin' speakers in their laptops but its so at the bottom of their priority list.

More natural and user centric review. Love it. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
My guy u deserve 1m followers tbh! Quality content.
Thanks for the nice comment! We're trying hard to grow the channel!
Finally someone on RUclips keeping it Raw👏🏻
Thank you!
I have this and.... not having a backlight is ridiculous. This should be standard on any laptop in today's world.
Agree'd.
thanks for the video
You bet!
@@ComputerStuff just bought a Dell Inspiron because of this video, they should pay you a commission
I wish! lol Enjoy the computer! @@qutaiba3511

@@ComputerStuff thank you!
Amd is more efficient, just check geekbench benchmark scores of both models and make a decision.

I'm also planning to buy AMD varient and running linux on it but having same concerns. AMD surely has better thermal and power management than Intel.
Great & honest review! Lenovo could have provided increased peak brightness & more display options like 2.2K instead of just FHD and OLED.
Thank you! And agree'd.

The new Dells, most new laptops really, are migrating to metal on metal hinges so luckily the split hinge issue is becoming less of a problem.
Im in confusion to buy dell latitude 5550 or thinkpad t16 gen 2. Any advise. Given both laptop are at samespec
I'd go Latitude.
Lenovo seems to have option for a customized machine.
They do, yes. Most manufacturers do.
I literally just stumbled across this guy. Feel like he could be related to jayz2cents 🤣 quality content!

Sorry to hear you got his with the throttling issue :(

Throttling is another story.
I think if Lenovo's screens were better they'd be first class.
Good point.
You can upgrade the screen for like $50
I think the form factor is great. 16” and num pad. But I spec I higher and get all the things you said you missed.
Inspiron 16 just added a numpad back!
how do you compare it to the Yoga 9i Pro 16"? I feel it beats the Dell and T16 as well
It's probably going to be more premium. Yoga's are good machines.
Hmm, I wonder if you have to order one with backlight? Cause mine has it.
It is an option, yes.

but what battery size does it had? because there is a 86 whr option available
Sorry I don't recall what battery size our had, but if I had to guess it was the default smaller one.
could you please review the e16 gen 1? im begging
I'll see if I can get my hands on one.
i wanted a new laptop with a backlight, i bought this one and i just found out it doesn't have a backlight.... lmao
Hah! Sorry to hear!
Well, it does have a backlit keyboard, but you gotta make sure you get a model with the backlit keyboard.

bravo
Thank you!
Spend 300 usd more, and get a legion 7i. Better specs, screen, ports.
It's a little beefier but I do like it more, yes.
