2024 Thinkpad P1 G7 "Review": I'm conflicted about this laptop
The 2024 Thinkpad P1 G7 is Lenovo's 3rd physical iteration for the P1 and the former X1 Extreme family. It's also the first laptop to feature LPCAMM2 memory. For someone who's used Thinkpads for a very long time but is pretty lax on what Lenovo has been doing to the brand recently, is this design iteration any good?
(as with all things, the answer is yesn't)
0:00 The new (7th gen) P1
0:28 Build quality and exterior

11:48 The MUX switch mystery
12:37 LPCAMM2 isn't magic
13:52 Conclusion - It's not for everyone

Costco Heavily Discounted This Gaming PC - Is it any good?
มุมมอง 1.7K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Costco is discounting their Cyberpower gxi2000cst down to $700, making it cheaper than if you try to build a similarly-spec-ed PC yourself. It's a good deal if you manage to snag one, but is it any good?

I bought the exact same set up from Costco about eight months ago for 1000 bucks I’m happy with it I think it’s an update from my PS five I can play some games and porque which is surprising the new Nvidia updated drives
Their all junk if they don't have dual chip dual drive SSD/SATA.4 USB 4 blue toothe,NFC,ETHER.hdmi,super xvga.40 meg pix cam. Multi OS. MATT BLACK BASE..POLISH BLACK SCREEN with Carbon FIBRE HINGES. AC/DC BACK in BLACK.😊
agg the fingerprints..
I do have very corrosive skin oils compared to the average person, so it might not be as bad as it looks with my choice of a vinyl skin. To be fair, the lid is less of a fingerprint magnet since it's using a more metallic finish, but the palmrest is still as bad
Why in 2024 would any serious person buy a laptop without a number pad??
I work in software engineering and even with a full-size keyboard I've never used the number pad, but I can imagine 9999 other scenarios where a number pad helps is borderline essential
@@watermelonofdespair7294 if I had to type in an IP address or memory address via the top row number keys I think I'd lose my mind. Not to mention all the convenient keybinds in my emacs setup.
@@watermelonofdespair7294 it's worth it for /**/ alone
I had gone G6 deliberately after they announced this. Needed ADA4000 for rendering and Solidworks. I have seen it hit 177watts 😂🤣 and I could probably make pancakes on it. But damn it’s powerful and functional. And that 5mp is amazing to self record part inspections
Lenovo probably thought "if you need the extra power you can probably afford the extra heft and get a P16", but yeah this generation feels a bit weird with the hardware downgrade; previously having the higher-end GPU options was actually a differentiating factor against the XPS line
Good to know that the Fn and Ctrl keys can be easily swapped around physically. Thanks. But this still isn't for me. The keyboard keys look flat at the top, versus being slightly concave. Perhaps it's just because the keys are shallower. Comm bar = yuck. Not sure if I could get used to not having physical TrackPoint buttons. PS. Solidigm = SOL - i - dime. (G is silent.) My choice of SSDs 😀.
Oooo good to know how it's properly pronounced. If it wasn't for the sales on SK Hynix SSDs I would totally buy Solidigm SSDs because of their superior software support. I can also totally understand the communications bar and the general "form over function" nature of the redesign. Even though it's easy to get used to the haptic trackpoint buttons, it's not the same. Looking back I would honestly wait for the P1G8 given Intel just launched Lunar Lake and Geforce 5000-series is right around the corner
an actual review without a glaze session. thank you
Thank you! This is my first time trying to review a laptop, I'm glad you found it useful
Damn this is a good review. So close to adding this to my cart.
For me personally it checks all of the boxes but I wish they had gone all in with USBC charging and removed the old rectangular charging port.
@@briggs1978 Thanks for the compliment! It's been a great device for me personally (even though I do miss physical trackpoint buttons), but if you want to buy this, maybe wait until the next generation with the new CPU and GPUs. Maybe by then Lenovo will add some extras like USB PD3.1, I know there's a lot of challenges with implementing USB PD3.1 but if Lenovo's moving to using the 170W chargers, well, the Framework 16 made 180W work. Given these are more enterprise machines, Lenovo might be waiting on technologies to mature
Excellent review! Thank you And what coupon did you use? Suddenly i have different price for the same specs
I think I used WSDEAL8? There was a company discount involved where w/out it it would've been $2270. At the time of writing this comment however it looks like there's WSDEAL8 and LENOVOWKND that brings the price down to $2170
I would seriously consider buying a lenovo laptop as my next device, if it weren't for that notch. That thing is so ugly.
I will say, the webcam quality is pretty neat with all that extra space provided by the tumor. This laptop would be super sleek without it (where the notch doesn't stick out when the laptop's closed), but ehhh... I feel like this is the anti-XPS 16 for a reason
@@watermelonofdespair7294 lmfao tumor got me, ha having a nice webcam is a plus, but unfortunately useless for me. Wish dell still made an xps 2-1 😔
As tempted as i was about the legion devices, I cant trust lenovo witht their bad customer service for honouring warranties and issues. I looked into the common charging port problem
Totally understandable. I've never had much issues with either the charging port or Lenovo's RMA service(especially for Thinkpads), but just because I haven't had issues doesn't mean that there's no issue. I find not having a modular charging port being problematic with the new design given that it will probably be the most used port on this (and almost any) laptop; there's a lot of hype with this laptop in regards to LPCAMM2, but people might start forgetting the other aspects of what makes a device repairable
underrated
the typos add to this ngl😂 “committing sudoku”
this is good
