  • Could be. I do have some significant Thinkpad experience (going back to the IBM days) and I do know that they will not alter the model number regardless of what’s in the machine, but you can pull a build sheet from their website with the serial number. Do you know if your HPs could have had this happen? Was your distributor HP or elsewhere? (Not hating, just curious!)

    Capacity loss over time is a decent idea. The 2nd Gen machine has an 11th Gen chip, vs 10th Gen in the Gen 1, and quiet possibly is able to burn more power quicker as well. Thinkpad power consumption is also definable in the BIOS or Vantage software for many of them, so those settings all could vary.

    Normally I’d be happy to help troubleshoot this sort of thing but frankly I’m not sure OP was looking to chat.



  • I have a T580 and a T15g2 and the T580 is 100% a more rugged build–not even close.

    The T15 is way lighter, so maybe that feels like stiffness?

    G1s do not just “have brighter screens” than Gen 2. Those are spec-able options.

    G1 had three screens, 250nit, 300nit, 500nit (4k only)

    G2 had three screens, 300nit, 300nit, 600nit (4k only)

    Both have the same 57wh battery. Not sure what you’re talking about there.
