Cons
- Will you also get those issues on the new p14? Yes. Will you get even less idle battery life? Yes. Will you hit the thermal limit - even if the bios was tweaked by someone half competent (which it isn't) - within half a minute? Yes.
- the options i have even the p14s is integrated.
- I read on some post that the battery life on the P14s was in the 3-4hrs range.
- my issue with the Thinkpads is while the pricing is great the ones like the P14s have a tiny battery at sub 50Wh.

If you have a little more budget, the P14s is also available for very reasonable money. (The Ryzen 7 Pro models can be had for about $300 on eBay, the Intel i7 models start about $250.)
