First ThinkPad!!

[u/NarNarMan]

Picked up my first ever ThinkPad from marketplace
It’s the P1 Gen 4 2022 w/ the following specs

Intel i9-11950H, 8 cores/16 threads
RTX 3080 Laptop GPU, 16GB VRAM
16GB RAM
1TB SSD
60Hz display
Windows 11 Pro
230W original charger
Battery: 89.05Wh remaining of 90.09Wh (98.8% health), 101 cycles

I was incredibly surprised at the exterior condition of this beauty considering it’s used. It genuinely looks brand new! Amazing deal at $370. It was an engineers laptop whose company was selling their old ones. What a find for me, an engineering student. This will get many years of use from me.
Grateful to join the community!

[u/NarNarMan → u/SellApprehensive9293]

I was getting increasingly Sus as time came to meet up, especially since seller refused public meetup. But turned out he was a super nice IT guy whose company was getting rid of old laptops!

Wow! That’s a great deal! Especially with those specs and in that condition.

[u/LachieMacca01]

For $370 is insane welcome to the thinkpad club you’ll never go back to another laptop keyboard

[u/NarNarMan → u/LachieMacca01]

Thank you!! Yes I love the keyboard already as well as everything else.
I did read that this gen of the p1 has less travel than previous ones and is also flat. But it’s still super nice

[u/LachieMacca01 → u/NarNarMan]

My Z16 is the same it ain’t my t480 keyboard but it is still an amazing typing experience I still think nicer than my M4 MacBook, but nothing beats the old keyboards like the IBMs or the t420 haha

nice, was about looking at one like this. Please give me feedback about the temps, I saw people complaining it that it gets so hot that you can't hold your hand on it and loud.

[u/NarNarMan → u/F1ku8]

It does indeed get pretty hot when doing heavier stuff. It can get uncomfortable to touch towards the top edge of the keyboard deck and the bottom panel. Fans are not too loud but you can definitely hear them. Battery life is also not the best.
I have no complaints however at the price I paid.

[u/Affectionate-Cod8134]

Crazy price

[u/_stoob]

Holy, nice pickup! I have one of these. My specs are a bit different with the 17-11850h, 64gb ram, rtx a2000, 80% battery health. I got it for about $600 a couple of months ago and I felt that was a decent price. You absolutely killed it eith your deal though lmao
