Definitely go with Legion if you can stomach some additional weight and thickness, the vapour chamber cooling subsystem is superb: you can set it to quiet mode and still run everything at 60 FPS+. The slimmer chassis of P1/X1 leads to either throttling or excessive fan noise.

I recently picked up a second-hand ThinkPad z13 (the all AMD Ryzen 7 with the 680M GPU) and for grins and giggles installed Bazzite (think SteamOS-like, but tweaked). I have been pleasantly surprised by things like VRR on the built-in display and pretty decent gaming performance for what I paid-$550. While Bazzite isn’t without its issues, the machine is pretty great for both a quick game session (basically a Steam Deck with a larger screen) and productivity in the Fedora GNOME desktop. The machine is giving me a whole new respect for the already legendary ThinkPad line!

Just bought a gen6 ThinkPad P1 with the RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU, it's on sale for £1900 at Lenovo's UK web store, which is a great price. Came with the 13700H, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and 1 TB SSD, plus it has room to add a second SSD. Really pleased with it. This is not a gaming GPU, but it can run all my games at 60+ FPS on my native 2560x1600 IPS screen using high/ultra settings, with no problem. I've tried Diablo 4, Marvel's Spider-Man, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza Horizon 5 and God of War. The Ada GPU does still support DLSS 3.0 and frame generation, as well as ray-tracing. Best of all, it's a low TDP GPU, so it helps with heat, fan noise and battery life. It's thin and light, and I can even game with it on my lap using battery power without hearing fan noise, still at 60+ FPS. I love this machine.

@@MashITTech KZitem won’t let me link my result URLs, but I have got a score of 8649 in TimeSpy and 17674 in FireStrike using “best performance” mode in power settings. The GPU is so new that 3DMark lists it as “Generic VGA” in their web site’s results pages, although the correct name is shown in the app’s results. Considering this is only a 65 W TDP GPU, I think those results are excellent. It’s around half the performance of my RTX 4080 mobile GPU in my Lenovo Legion 7i Pro, which is a thicker and heavier laptop, with a beefier vapour chamber. I have tried a bunch of my games and benchmarks such as Diablo 4, Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ratchet & Clank and Heaven 4.0 and it’s able to sustain 60 FPS, even when running on battery power, without generating loud fan noise. That’s exactly what I was hoping for. The RTX 2000 Ada does let me enable DLSS and frame generation and even ray-tracing (I use OptiX in Blender), so I’m happy with it.

@@wingman22 the glass trackpad on the P1 is as good as the X1 Carbon (I have a gen 10 X1C with OLED screen as well, so I was able to compare first-hand). To be honest, I have a 2023 model Legion 7i Pro as well with the Mylar trackpad, and it’s not so bad, it’s perfectly usable, although I use an external mouse most of the time since that Legion is my gaming laptop. Thermals are good on the RTX 2000 GPU, however the CPU can hit 100C and throttle under synthetic benchmarks such as Cinebench. It works okay under normal usage, though. Bear in mind I had the 13700H, I would imagine the 13800H would generate even more heat. Also keep in mind the RTX 1000 and 2000 models for P1 don’t have the beefier vapour chamber cooler with Liquid Metal TIM, whereas the models with other GPU models do, but then they lack the WWAN adapter and second M.2 slot options. That’s a trade off between better cooling and more expansion/connectivity. I’m going to send my P1 back and order another one with a vapour chamber cooler because I prefer having a stronger cooler than having WWAN or two NVMe SSDs, but this is a personal preference, it doesn’t mean the RTX 2000 model is bad. It’s certainly the best value of the current 2023 P1 line with its £1900 online sale price right now. Fan noise is inaudible in best efficiency mode, with still good performance. You will hear the fans moving air at balanced or best performance mode, but it’s not a whining fan sound, more like a pleasant whoosh of air white noise type sound.

It’s fine under everyday use or in efficiency mode (which limits CPU clock turbo boost, thus reducing heat generation)

Sacrifing longevity to looks is a cynical marketing ploy designed to make obsolescence and replacement the new norm.

in all honesty, the legions even perform better due to larger more rugged thermal designs. The Thinkpad has a better keyboard and is allegedly spill proof and mil spec rated but who knows if that makes it more durable than a legion! I wish I could afford to trash them both to see which holds up better 🤣

Fingerprint reader isn't present on Legion models is it? Rear ports are worse than side ports for mobility. Durability. Keyboard.

@@stevenswall the old Thinkpad has a fingerprint reader but i dont even use it,i prefer password login. i love that Legion has most ports on backside because of less cable clutter. USB is still on either side for easy plugin of stuff quickly anyway. I like both models but I prefer Legion for sure. Thinkpad is still cool, but very expensive for less performance really.

@@p4radigm989 Cables and dongles and flash drives on the back are a damage risk when you lift the laptop. If it's primarily sitting on a desk I can see why you would want all these cables going off the back like a desktop. The preference for multiple actions and movements to put in a password vs one movement and one action is inefficient so I don't understand that preference.

@@stevenswall bro, my Legion has a USB-c and headphone/mic jack on the left, and a usb-3 port and card reader on the right. the rest is on the back, and I love it this way. if you don't like it, don't buy a Legion, but I think they're the best Laptops. Thinkpads are cool too anyway, just expensive and less for flashy.

Nice machine, quite pricey though. I have the P1 gen 4, and to be honest, am not impressed with it (because it can't screen record smoothly at 60FPS in Linux or Windows). I'll probably just go for a last gen gaming laptop this time around.

I had the X1 G4 and also wasn't impressed except for the keyboard! I found it couldn't cope with solid load and would spike temps and frequencies all over the place. I am not sure if it is because this gen 6 uses a more power efficient 4000 series card but my results have been solid with this one

@@MashITTech the thing is,I don't know if it's worth the whole process of returning and just buying legion straight up again and wait for a month to get it delivered.The 13900h eats up a lot of battery too,not that I would be off the charger for a long time but it is still a huge plus,I don't know if the 4070 is worth it tbh considering its a 120tgp 4070 which should be equal aside the fg support.I don't do much productive work,so I don't think I would notice much difference in the CPUs.The display is def much better with the HDR support,but I'm used to fhd 27 inch monitors so,would it actually be worth all the trouble?

@@AshevilleVideography theoretically no. If you get cheap dongles you might get reliability issues but theoretically speaking a Gigabit internal NIC should have the same performance as a USB-C one of the same rating. The problem is with usability. I have a home lab and I do plug my laptop directly into networking equipment a lot. Needing to bring a dongle around is a pain. I can see the sacrifice being worthwhile on a consumer grade line, but IMO portability is not as important on workstation grade laptops so I'd rather trade some portability with more ports, more user replaceable parts and better thermals any day of the week.

actually unfortunately it may not be. I am not sure if you noticed my internals section. The 4060 and above cards gives you the vapour chamber which allows much better cooling and performance of both the CPU and GPU. The a1000 version gets the old style heatsink which runs much hotter with less performance but does allow a second m.2 slot and WAN slot, sorry to be the bearer of bad news

in all honesty, if you are looking for a gaming machine then you would be silly to, the G18 would be a much more capable machine.

I love razer blades and they make great but expensive sleek laptops. But yes as I mentioned you can get better gaming performing laptops for less. The best case would be a legion 5 pro for example, you can get this years model with a 4070 and 13700hx for around 1.5k, not only does this perform better than the blade 16 whilst been over 1k cheaper it also has a great 500nit 240hz screen and better temps!
