[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is for a ThinkPad P14s Gen 5. Mine has an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. Discrete graphics hardware wasn't available with this CPU. That's OK with me -- I'm not a gamer.
My ThinkPad is connected to the recommended Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock. One small quibble: The P14s doesn't have a "Thin Tip" power connector, so it must use its Thunderbolt 4 connector for both power and data. This limits the power to about 92 Watts, significantly lower than the capacities of ThinkPad's and dock's power supplies. The dock has a separate power output that can't be used with the P14s, although It does work with the P16 ThinkPads. So far I haven't had a problem keeping the P14's battery charged, so it's probably no big deal.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Generally, I liked the ThinkPad P14s Gen 5. It was quick and easy to use. I really like the old-style TrackPoint button control! But, for my use, I need to have better battery life. In all of my testing, I was only able to get up to about 4 hours. I expect that was due to the discrete video.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is what you need for heavy applications use. Quick start up and processing. Only thing is that I wished the display and camera had better resolution.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this new computer. I have suffered through Dells for the past several years because they are what are provided by my district, but this makes the increased workload much easier. It is quick, responsive and does so much more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I'm loving my new laptop. It seems very well built and user friendly. Looking forward to exploring all the applications that came with it.
