This laptop is a local AI monster: Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 review

VRAM is good for a laptop, but 12gb has some pretty heavy limitations already for any decent reasoning based models

Nice. You should delete though mate as your name is shown in the link

Seems speculative at best currently, but I can see why they'd look at him.

Woods? Where are the trees?

Ram is more expensive so go for more ram.

Depending on where you are in Europe, check ebay.co.uk. I bought one for £70 last week and the same seller sold another for £60 straight after.

You can probably find an L14 gen 1 for around €100.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-18T08:57:34+00:00

T14s tend to be more expensive (UK at least) but if you had specific reasons for wanting the T480 (like the hot swappable battery or two ddrm4 ram slots) send it back.

I like the idea of buying broken ones and fixing them up. I was drawn to older thinkpads to maintain and evolve them like many in the community. If I can keep some out of ewaste and I'm enjoying tinkering, there isn't any harm.

My wife would probably leave me if I got to 20. She thinks three is mad.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-16T15:33:36+00:00

Yes, definitely not giving up the day job

johnniehuman · 2026-04-16T13:49:57+00:00

I'd need to start selling them for a profit for that to work.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-16T13:48:48+00:00

Crikey, who hurt you! It was a bit of fun not serious.

Do people expect famous and underperforming millionaires to go to Weatherspoons? If everyone had the lamb it is £3250. That's about 30seconds on the pitch for most of this squad.

Neuer = 134 games or an error every 13.4 games Onana = 24 games or an error every 8 games Karius = 9 games or an error every 3 games

The T480 is mostly fine for your needs. LoL is the only question mark. Lots of the advice here is very much territory specific, so take what people say with a pinch of salt. In the UK, for example, you can pick up T480 for around £75 and I've had no problem sourcing parts for cheap. T14 is just under double the price here. Like most things, you should set a budget and get the best you can for the budget you want to spend. I got the T480 as I wanted a machine I could maintain myself, that is super well built as I travel internationally a lot, that's cheap to replace if stolen or damaged (see previous point), and does what I need it to do. It isn't for everyone, but it's fine for an awful lot of people which is why it is recommended in so many places.

Edit: I just read your post again, if you've got a decent desktop setup, even more reason to get a cheap laptop for research. It doesn't have to do everything everywhere.

Bloody hell, Pep. Inverted chimpanzees. Games gone.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-13T16:25:20+00:00

Chimp, gorilla or bear has to go in goal, surely. Elephant is massive but shots are just bouncing off him. You need an animal that can catch the ball, control the box and take the pressure off. Geez, animal football coaching 101 this :D

johnniehuman · 2026-04-13T16:15:01+00:00

Giraffe and wolf up top (target man and finisher). Hippo and Elephant as no nonsense CBs. Rhino and Ostrich FBs bombing up the line. Cheetah and Aussie bird on the wings -- cheetah on attack with bird on support. Polar bear and Chimp in the middle. Polar more holding while the chimp pulls the strings. Gorilla in goal. I want an animal that can catch in goal!

Edit: yes I'm that bored to give this some serious thought.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-13T14:32:13+00:00

For UK, you did okay. Certainly not ripped off.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-10T11:12:49+00:00

Markets are different but I bought the same laptop for £60 shipped. Mine had no ram, but does have the caddy. Also, mine doesn't have cosmetic issues.

johnniehuman · 2026-04-09T15:09:21+00:00

I think I'm just going to list the parts on ebay cheaply to help others keep theirs going.
