I’ve worked in IT for over 20 years Lenovo have never released a decent laptop in my experience and opinion.

I have a Thinkpad T16 Gen 1 (Price around $3000 based on its configuration, like 48 GB RAM) at work and it’s a piece of shit.

For example they fucked up their BIOS, so it sometimes needed 2 minutes to boot. Lenovo admitted they have an issue there… after I messed with some BIOS settings I got it down to 30 seconds at least (but it’s still not great). It also has heat issues and immediately clocks down the Intel 6 core CPU if you do anything demanding (like compiling). And it has a weird tick with the fans, where it sometimes out of nowhere spins the fans up from 0 to 100 for just a second or so. Haven’t been able to fix that one yet.

Overall it’s an okay laptop, but for the price it sucks. The whole company now thinks about switching away from Lenovo after we had other troubles (like the charging port not working for a colleague).

Wow! Never heard of such issues. I had a t14, great laptop for the time I spend at that company. Now I am at new place doing 9-5 and they gave me Microsoft surface laptop. Its even worst than lenovo. Overall I hate 9-5 and my life now.

Considering they led with “Lenovo hasn’t released a decent laptop in 20 years”, I’m guessing they’ll go with HP.
