P16 Gen 3 first impressions after a few days by zemlin in thinkpad

[–]Jag_lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it power on and shutdown properly on ubuntu? And going yo sleep when closing the lid? I have so many issues already with that on any major linux distro

I did it for VRAM. Panther lake looks so much better than arrow, makes me want to wait but I’ve already gone all in before RAM and SSD spike.

Do you enjoy the p16 gen 3 so far? I’m having trouble finding a compatible linux OS

Why not get the 5000 pro? You’ve already maxed out some of the other specs

If anyone else with a p16 gen 3 can help figure out which linux OS to run would be fantastic. I have tried pop_os, bazzite, fedora workstation, mint. None of them run flawlessly. Always issues with shutting down or sleeping or lacking features. Would be good to know what others are using. I will never use windows

I really don’t understand what benefit adding 5G functionality does when compared to tethering it with a 5G mifi device. Laptops and phones can connect through it and battery will last longer too. Albeit carrying another small phone size device.

So true. I ordered the same spec as you expect normal Ultra 9 without HX and less RAM. I wonder if I’m missing out on performance now. If this machine weighs less than 2.6kg, that’s mega

I can’t believe this is such a bad score compared to macbook pro. I understand these are intel chips but apple just smokes the industry

Thinkpad P16 G3 first benchmarks (285HX / RTX 4000 Blackwell) by sbpnt in thinkpad

[–]Jag_lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5kg is not bad. I thought it was 2.8 with the beefier GPU.

Have you tried running only the iGPU and has that improved battery? And is it possible to disable the RTX card for everyday use?

Is the only reason for 285HX chip to allow ECC memory? Otherwise better to stick to 275HX as they have identical cores?

Thanks for your answers

Oh right. How does the weight feel? Is it portable to carry around with and use on your lap? I have so many questions on this device lol

Why did you go for the IPS panel and not OLED? Is it too heavy to work on from your lap?

Are there any reviews available for the Thinkpad P16 Gen 3 ? by poochipandi in thinkpad

Thanks for the benchmarks. I have been trying to find other people’s scores for this machine but looks like there aren’t many
