    I'm *NOT* a gamer but it is sure nice to see a perspective from the multi-media production aspect!!! I'm (currently) kinda stuck on the ThinkPad P50 platform for basic activities. Receiving a P50 tomorrow (9/11/2023), I have already ordered 64GB of max RAM and have 2-2TB NVME drives as well as a SSD 2.5" drive, both Samsung, as I appreciate how Samsung has structured their Samsung Magician software to benefit the end user. If I move up the P51 platform, I'll migrate whatever components possible!!! ThinkPad P50 was the minimum baseline that I was willing to settle with. As the P50 has a Thunderbolt 3.0 Port, I'm curious to know what other peripheral capabilities I have!!! Heaviest processing I will probably do is with DVDFab in transcoding/ripping of DVD's and Blu-Ray. Interestingly, DVDFab offers "Artificial Intelligence Up-Sampling" for video!!! I wonder how taxing that would be on the GPU?!

    I'd say the best value up to date laptop you can buy today (Q3 2022)!
    RIP, P52 is the last Thinkpad as far as I am concerned (I know this term gets shoved around a lot... But P52 is it- as far as a laptop built to be owned by somebody rather than simply consumed)

    why did you chose this one instead of msi titan or legion for that matter? i mean, a 3070ti would be cheaper than quadro and probably do a better job in rendering and gaming.
