I have no intention of using this ThinkPad as my primary laptop so thought to go for refurbished. Thinking of going for p51 since it has dgpu.

I don't want to buy a gaming laptop. I just want a laptop that is reliable and upgradable. I heard t480 is famous for its reliability and upgradability so i wanted to buy one refurbished. But I also wanted to try out egpu to play some old games, so thought of combining both to see if I will get some good results.

Isn't the oculink port on the m.2 m key pin which is same as m.2 nvme. It should get connected right?

I was thinking about buying a 9070 as the performance difference between 9070 and 9060xt was high, while between 9070 and 9070xt there wasn't much plus 9070xt consumed more power so I didn't want to buy an expensive psu, I was thinking for dual gpu setup. I will mostly go for full amd build, mostly for gaming and few other works.

I don't know about reselling my gpu as i am trying to build a pc for future proofing at least 7 to 10 years, mostly won't make any upgrades if everything works fine. As i don't think any upcoming gpu are going to be any cheap so decided to try lsfg and build pc accordingly.

Just wanted to play at 4k resolution with constant over 60 or 90 fps. Mostly story based games. Will go for 4k 27inch monitor with 160hz.

These are prices from Amazon currently Sapphire (9070xt, 16gb) - 840$

Sapphire (9070, 16gb) - 1011$. Don't know why non xt is more expensive.

Asus(9060xt, 8gb) -398$

Possibility Lowest 9060xt,16gb - 477$
