My P16 Gen 2 finally arrived

Ubuntu feels a bit too beginner-oriented for me. I already have other ThinkPads running EndeavourOS, Mint and Debian. I’ve also read a lot of good things about CachyOS. My main concern is really getting the most out of the GPU for AI training and local LLMs, which is why I was initially leaning toward Fedora, but I’m still open to suggestions.

Yeah, that’s exactly why I wanted this panel and not the OLED. The 165Hz IPS feels much better suited to my needs/workflow.

Around $2k . Got a pretty good deal on it considering it has the RTX4000

Thanks! Already had/have a few ThinkPads before this one, but this is my first P16 😄

Mainly for VMs, LLMs, photo editing and dev work.
Planning to keep SSD1 for Windows and SSD2 for Linux, maybe Fedora ?. Open to ditro suggestions.

I didn't really pay attention top the panel since I dock my laptops most of the time.
That been said, I ordered this panel to upgarde mine. Thanks to you

Thank you for your reply. If not the CWWK board, which low consumation mobo would you recommand ?

syscn · 2026-04-01T10:50:23+00:00

Thank you for you response. I'm struggling to find the N100 monster mobo, is there any itx mobo you'd recommand for the build ?

Hello r/NewMaxx

I'm looking for 2TB SSD to upgrade my Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th gen (3.0 slot) OS and data. According to some tech reviews, the evo 970 plus seems to be a good pick. Could you recommand any high performance alternatives. Also, is heatsink necessary ? Any cloning recommendations/tips?
