So I have been wanting to buy a new laptop and Lenovo has some deals on its website now with some vouchers and also student discounts. I am really in a dilemma to choose between these two laptops.

Both are configured with
AMD 7840U
32GB RAM
1TB SSD storage
1920x1200 400nits, 100% sRGB screen

T14s - RM5.6k (RM50 added for external monitor, FHD 24inch 100Hz)
P14s - RM5.4k (RM1 added for external monitor, QHD 24inch 60Hz)

Now the question comes, which one should I choose? I have read through tons of review. The T14s has better build, thinner and lighter, larger battery than P14s. P14s has better performance due to better thermal.

Since I am studying Electrical Engineering, I will be using Microsoft Office, some CAD software and also connected to the monitor most of the time at my dorm, with some occasion of bringing the laptop to class or meeting with my lecturer.

Does the RM200 difference justify going for a more expensive T14s or save it for P14s? Thank you!

so many wrong/old advice lol. Current AMD lineup, P14s equal to T14 with different power profile. T14s would be more premium and slimmer than T14.

unker that never use P series, it's for workstation, on intel case you can get config with dgpu, but no such option with amd.

I have used both at work. T series is for everyday carry here and there and mostly office work.

P series is similar to gaming laptop but office version of hardware. Weight also closer to that.

So far my staff using the p series only thing is complain battery life and weight. Which is to be expected. My T series only problem is if I occasionally start light data processing for an hour, the laptop thermals a bit.....weak.

As a student I think either one will do. Your heaviest workload would be dota anyway.......tongue.gif

P series. You seem to want a desktop replacement instead of being a road warrior

go for P series, or whack their Legion gaming series. you get shoddier battery life, but you shouldnt have any issue since running all these heavy workloads guarantee requiring to be plugged in entire time anyway

T series are only for office workers. their processors are limited to U/P series nia which is quite weaksos if you use any engineering work
