My maximum spec Lenovo P1 Gen 1 that I have been using for the last 3 years has been really underwhelming. It feels just very average. No premium feel whatsoever. XPS13 by comparison feels a bit more premium.
Most damning, out of the two M2 SSD drives in Lenovo P1, the main one was some no name Chinese make that failed without a warning after a year. For a premium model that is just unacceptable. Secondary drive is a WD that is still alive.
By comparision 10 year old Dell Precision M6700 and M4700 are built like tanks have ports and upgradability to the max. Same goes for Lenovo T440p that I bought for 200 Euros for my kid's schoolwork. Same goes for older HP ProBooks.
Another kid has a Macbook Air M1 and that is just alright.
The laptops from early 2010s just feel sturdier and better built.
The question is which will be the well built professional Alder Lake laptop to get? Will it be Lenovo, Dell, HP, Asus maybe MSI or maybe even Framework?
Intel 12th gen offers some impressive gains over AMD and 11th gen Intel so it makes sense to wait.
