I have yet to see a Ryzen productivity beast laptop for normal people in anything larger than 14" like the Thinkpad T14. Gaming laptops are great but I have absolutely NO use for a dGPU. All I do on my laptop is trade stocks with TD Think or Swim, WeBull, etc. and my trading style favors multi-threaded CPU performance (Slack, trading platforms, plus like 30 tabs open and need to rapidly flip back/forth).

USED Lenovo ThinkPad T14 with Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U / 2x 8 GB ram / 256 SSD for \~ 1090 USD. NEW DELL XPS 7590 with i7- 9750H / 16GB ram / 512GB SSD / GTX 1650 for \~1270 USD. As said what i value most is:. \-Being futureproof as script complexity and data science / machine learning things kick in.

She's only gonna be using it for coursework, programming and media (probably). First option: Lenovo Thinkpad T14 AMD (Ryzen 5 4650U, 8GB, 128GB SSD, 400-nit low power panel). Probably the better option here for a student/ normal user.

The Thinkpad I like because Lenovo has an awesome warranty and the durability and reparability of the Thinkpad is unmatched. Using a laptop for a PhD reliability is key for me as I will be using it for critical work. I outfitted the Macbook Pro with AppleCare+ however I think it may still be an inferior warranty option than what Lenovo can provide.

I have decides to invest 1000€ (100€ up or down is fine) into a laptop that can handle average programing tasks (i do FE development mostly). So far the best option that I found is the thinkpad T14 (in the us so id have to have some one bring it to me as I live in europe). It fits the price range (currently on discount) with 16gb of ram, a lower power consumption 400nit screen, 256gb of storage and the ryzen 7 amd cpu.

A [ThinkPad T14 can order one with a 5850u and 16GB soldered RAM with one free slot to add another 16GB module) will have almost 100% compatibility out of the box. It's a relatively lightweight laptop (compared to the other ones I mentioned). It is only 14 inches (16:9) and while the 5850u doesn't have the same TDP as the 5800H, you are getting a quieter, lighter and more battery efficient system than bigger, more powerful laptops.
