r/thinkpad on Reddit: T series has become SHIT Quality the past couple years
September 22, 2023 -

In my office we all have Thinkpads T series and in some cases P series.

I have a T14 Gen1 and have had multiple issues:

  • Computer restarts while in sleep mode (mostly in S0 sleep, but have experienced it in S3 too)

  • Monitors connected to Dock didnt start unless rebooting (fixed by firmware / bios update)

  • FAN error while startup if Dock is connected

  • Sudden shutdowns even if battery reports 40%

  • USB Keyboard only works 50% of the time after resume.

My Collegue has just abanoned his T14 Gen 3 becuase :

  • Monitors would scramble and Computer locks up

  • Bluescreens

  • Crash with no ability to restore without rebooting system

  • Computer wouldn't run 2x 2560x1440 + Laptop FHD monitor without fiddling with AMD software

My boss had these issues with 2 different T series:

  • Sudden shutdowns

  • Crash / Reboots while moving the laptop

My other collegue had to replace his Thinkpad T14 because:

  • Constant problems with crashes

  • Sudden shutdowns while working.

  • Screen errors

  • Computer would shutdown when entering S0 / S3 sleep, when Windows Locked it !!

All over the company (60 people) i've heard other people having weird quirks and issues with reboots while in sleep and shutdowns while in sleep or moving their laptops.

The sad thing is that Dell and Apple also have their weird issues, so changing brand completely would most likely just turn into other problems :(

Puchase issues

All new laptops T14 Gen3/4 have Soldered RAM, which means that the options of purchasing them has become even more limited if you need eg 32GB ram like we do. Not every reseller carry that option.

r/thinkpad on Reddit: So what‘s the difference between all the Thinkpad types? (T, P or X)
January 23, 2024 - A-series (Lenovo): Was an AMD version of the T-series during the T470/T480 generation. Replaced by the T495 and later AMD versions of the T-series. S-series: Ultrabook models derived from the E-series. I believe these became the ThinkBook line or consolidated into other ThinkPad lines.

Question - Understanding difference between T-series and P-series Thinkpads | Tom's Hardware Forum
December 5, 2024 - However, P-series seems generally cheaper for models with nearly the same specs. Why?

r/thinkpad on Reddit: Whats the best thinkpad series? whats the difference between all of the series?
August 1, 2024 -

X1 is the flagship, it's not really the best unless your definition of best is "lightest and slimmest". T(s) is the premium line. Slimmer and lighter than the T series, but not as slim and light as the X1. P are the mobile workstations. Powerful CPU's, usually lots of ram, multiple drives, has options for discrete graphics. T are the mainline portables. If you say "business laptop", this is what you're talking about. X are the smaller more compact version of the T series. They're often less upgradable as a trade-off for their having the same components in a smaller chassis. L are the value entry commercial business systems. All the same desirable by IT department features as the T and Ts, but much cheaper. Obviously, achieves that with having cheaper build materials, less premium options. E are the small business systems. Not up to the same level of build quality as the others, but because they're also designed by a different team, will sometimes adopt new ideas faster, and often offer some features the others dont (only non-workstation ThinkPads to offer multiple SSD slots). As far as what's best, it's whatever meets your needs in your price range. For me, that's CURRENTLY the L series. Inexpensive comparatively, offers the CPU's in the AMD version I like most of those I've had. I actually really like the chassis despite the cheap materials. Offers larger batteries than the T series (same as the Ts at a massively lower price), and still offers the low-power 400-nit screen.

Whats the best thinkpad series? whats the difference between all of the series? Basically, it goes like this: E Series: entry level series, aimed at small businesses and students. L Series: also entry level, but positioned above the E Series. Both the E and L Series are designed by Lenovo in China. T Series: the premier ThinkPad series, has improved build quality and features when compared to the two previous product lines. The TXXs models are thinner and have better case materials. X Series: the premium ultra portable (thin and light) series, has better case materials than the T Series and comes with 13 inch screens. X1 Carbon: the flagship ultra portable line, has all the bells and whistles together with excellent build quality in the 14 inch form. The X1 Extreme was a version of the P1 workstation line but with commercial GPUs, this model was discontinued and merged with the standard P1. Z Series: the apparently discontinued Z Series was the AMD version of the X1 Carbon line, although more focused towards "creatives" and media consumption. P Series: Workstation/desktop replacement line, they're big, thick and heavy but feature the most powerful CPUs and GPUs available. The PXXv models are cut down versions of the standard P Series. The PXXs models are basically T Series laptops but with high voltage CPUs and enterprise GPUs available. P1: the X1 Carbon equivalent for the P Series but in the 16 inch (formerly 15.6) form factor, also available with both enterprise and commercial RTX GPUs. The ThinkPad Z16 was the AMD version. The T, X, P and its derivatives are designed by Lenovo's (formerly IBM) Yamato Labs in Japan.
