Hi, i'm helping my aunt to research for her next laptop purchase. She has been using the Thinkpad T420 which should be around 10 years now.

As Dell is not likely to compete with the Thinkpad in terms of build, she'll most likely stick to Thinkpad. Budget is around 6k. I've tried to narrow down to Thinkpad T14 and P14s but figure the Quadro GPU is not necessary. Is there any potential alternative for Thinkpad T14? No wait time. At least 16GB RAM.

Also she is not convinced with the reliability of the AMD chip yet. Any advice i should let her know? Is the premium worth it for the Intel chip?

Thanks!
