This is a professional graphics card for mobile workstations. Since you write such things, I'll also write that it's the equivalent of RTX 3050 and you should already associate. This is a relatively new graphics card because it was released in 2022.

Rare to see one with a number pad. Really nice. Tempted.

Damn really good find! can't go wrong specs-wise, really powerful machine for the price. The CPU is very powerful being the HX variant which is the most powerful SKU and the GPU is just about what you need for productivity tasks like video editing and medium levels of gaming. 3 years of support too, wow!

All in an excellent chassis the thinkpad P16.

I recently bought a Lenovo AMD 7840HS, which performs quite roughly the same as this CPU but I only have on-board GPU, have had to use a E-GPU for gaming, but it means I can't game on the go - if I had saw this deal I would have jumped on it

Tempted, long time thinkpad fan. My P51 is on it's last legs, the P Series are excellent with 2 x SSD, this one may be like my P51 and have space for a 2.5" drive also

can't find many reviews for the version with this CPU. Anyone know if it's hot, noisy? Much heavier that a Macbook pro 16! 300 nits isn't really bright enough for me. Wonder what the battery life is like and if its ok with linux. (edited)

ThinkPads are usually the best available when it comes to Linux compatibility. I run Fedora on a T16 gen 2 I got five months ago and have had zero issues with it. Every laptop I've had prior to that I've had issues with at least one out of audio, WiFi, hibernate or the track pad. Everything just worked straight away with my ThinkPad.

Battery seems really good running Linux, I went for the 4 Cell Li-Polymer 86Wh and when fully charged it estimates 12 hours of usage, though I've never really run it down so can't verify that.

Regarding the screen, I went for the 300 nits IPS panel as the OLED upgrade was £400. It's absolutely fine as far as I'm concerned, definitely nowhere near the quality of the screen on the MacBook I have for work, but works well enough, though I'm not too fussy about these things really as long as I can see what I need to see.

As for heat and noise, I can't say for this model, but for a T16 with a Ryzen 7 pro 7840u, I've never seen it go higher than about the mid 70s and that's pretty rare. Only then do the fans start to kick in a little bit, normally it's dead silent. I generally use it for container-based development work.

Specs state :

‘WWLAN : Upgradable to 4G‘

Can someone confirm that this has a SIM card slot on it.

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't have it, it's an option you can add yourself.
