Massive improvements thanks to Intel Arrow Lake: Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 laptop review

[Redaktion]

Last year, Lenovo introduced the 14.5-inch Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 with a dedicated Nvidia GPU, which also featured a large battery and dual fan cooling. The new iteration, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6, includes more efficient Intel Arrow Lake H CPUs and Nvidia RTX Pro Blackwell graphics.

Own the gen 5 and love it. Glad to see screen brightness increased to 500nits. And I agree, wish there was a second ssd and easily replaceable keyboard like the T series.

[6 GB VRAM: Nice trolling]

Performance is up, but efficiency is too, which means the laptops runs cooler, quieter and the battery lasts longer.

No, for the GPU part: The power efficiency of Blackwell GPUs has not increased (same node, same architecture (just with DLSS4 on top)).

Nvidia RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop - 6 GB VRAM

2760 bucks for only 6 GB VRAM, WTH? I see this garbage for the first time. I first thought it was a typo and you meant RTX PRO 5000 with 16 GB VRAM or something. Even for gaming 8 GB VRAM are becoming obsolete: youtube.com/watch?v=ric7yb1VaoA ("Gaming Laptops are in Trouble - VRAM Testing w/ ‪@Hardwareunboxed‬").

Worse performance (In Kraken and WebXPRT) than my $600 Cheapo Acer 155H from 2+ years ago.   "Progress"
