I have a T480 that I ordered a while ago now and I played Daiblo IV on it with no dedicated graphics, so i don't know. Maybe I just got lucky now don't get me wrong I had to switch it to the old school look in order to run it for any length of time, but it still ran it pretty good. At the end of the day it's a laptop not a desktop so i never expected very much. You are right about finding one with dedicated Graphics and yes they're a little pricey, but cheaper than a desktop. Good video I will have to look into that laptop a little more. God Bless and have a good one.

Thanks, hope you find one at similar price to the one I bought. It's a solid laptop seven years on.

I can play stalker shadow of chernobyl fullhd on static shading no problem on T480.

Recently I got a t14 gen 2 with mx450 graphics for 200 + 32gb ram + i7 11th gen. A couple weeks before that I got an a285 (x280 with a ryzen basically) for £100. I own two thinkpads, the cult has indoctrinated me. I did a cheeky tdp unlock with ryzenadj on my a285: with a cooling matt on the bottom, it can play baldurs gate 3 at 28 watt tdp at 26fps Basically steamdeck settings, 800p fsr utra quality. The a285 is insane for value if you got it for my price point. Mine was in such good condition, I thought it was new.

I got an X201 on the same day this video was uploaded… lmfao. Old but gold.

I Bought this same model of T470p nearly a year earlier, it's great for what it is. The reason why it supports Windows 11 il because of the TPM 2.0 protocol implemented in the i7-7820HQ, wich is not present in other CPUs from Intel's 7th gen. The main differences between T470p (this top tier model) and the T480 (the top model too) are the internal battery, wich let you change the external without turning off, the "u" variant of CPU, wich have a consumption 3x times smaller than the "HQ" variant (15 VS 45 watts max) wich provide better battery life on the T480 by 25% if you have the biggest external battery on both. The second main important point is of course the generation of the components, and i think about the MX-150 vs the 940MX. Yes, this will not be a enormous difference, but the fact that the MX-150 is a disguised GT-1030 wich uses the Pascal architecture versus the 940MX on the previous one, gives us better power efficiency and a +50/60% performance on benchmarks on average. In conclusion, T480 is better if you want biggest Battery (up to 24Whr internal +72Whr external and a "U" CPU) and if you need a little extra boost on graphics performances with a more modern GPU. Overall, those two laptops are very High end "Old" machines, wich will for flawlessly for standard day to day usage for most people. Nice video, if you want more information on Lenovo platforms, you can see their PDF on internet, here are the ones of those 2 platforms, but you only need to tap "T-XXX platform specs" to find all the infos on the lenovo platform you want to know about. I recommend people to look at the X270 platform for those who want 12,5" laptop experience, it will not support WIN 11 but with a Win 10 of a Linux it's absolutely perfect for long outdoor trips. Have a nice day i i hope to see more of that content in the future. ;) T470p platform: psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T470p/ThinkPad_T470p_Spec.PDF T480 platform: psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T480/ThinkPad_T480_Spec.PDF

Appreciate the really in depth comment, agree with everything you said. The T480 dual batteries are nice, I quite like how you can hotswap them with another one. In defence to the T470p, batteries can be cheaper due to them being used for many generations (T440-T460) and (X240-X270). Nice you mention the X270, a great small form factor ThinkPad. I'll be making a video on that soon. Thanks for your time👍

I am so mad that I missed out a deal on T14 Gen 1, because I had no cash in my account. Now I'm considering to buy 8/9th gen Intel and 1/2nd gen AMD laptops with 32/64GB of RAM.

A Ryzen ThinkPad is a cool option with the much better graphics. Go for it!

If I am not misktaken that nvme adaptor is not running into sata but actually a U.2 port. which looks similar to sata and is sata compatible, but is way faster than sata

Ah thanks for the info. Never knew that lol

I think thats not as good when it comes to gaming, the T480 I found has a thunderbolt 4 port which i can use to plug in an external gpu using gpu adapters or docks. Either way that does have a stronger cpu but without a thunderbolt is kindof a hard choice

@cephacore

Yeah I was looking at it more in the way of CPU power, which the T470p excels at. Wouldn't really game on a ThinkPad but if you were, an external GPU setup would be the way.

Man, i wish i could buy one too eventhough it won't be powerful as my mid end pc. These ThinkPads are really the G.O.A.T.

The 7th gen cpus aren't officially supported under Windows 11, but you can install Windows 11, you just can't upgrade from Windows 10 has been my experience.

Yeah the i7 actually performs worse than the i5 due to the thermal throttling. - order yourself a Honeywell PT9750 thermal pad and Re-paste and clean your heatsink. Will see a massive improvement.
