Something is strange about the specs.
Storage slots are PCIe4 but they offer PCIe5 SSDs for "performance" ones :

Is there an error ?

On Thinkbook 16p Gen6, it seems to be able to full PCIe5 slots and SSD :

Why don't they solder the RAM? It's not like those LPCAMM modules are available anywhere to get, and with soldered (yes this is also soldered but you know what I mean) the price would be cheaper and that RAM could be faster. Weird decision this way to go with only 64 GB, meh... Other than that, it looks pretty damn awesome.

Edit: Nevermind, I thought faster RAM was supported by these Intel CPUs but they max at 7467 MT/s. Still, with "truly" soldered it would be possible to go to 128 GB easily.

The big news here is the tandem OLED display - almost all OLED laptops are horribly glossy but seeing "anti-glare/anti-reflective" in the specs makes me very happy.

The tandem OLED display is a touch panel.
There is an add-on film touch on the screen and no option without it.
It could be visible on bright images.
