Not buying anything Lenovo made ever again. T14 G1 was the worst computer I've ever had the displeasure of using. Extremely spotty USB C connection, throttling to 0.2 Ghz for no reason with no fix, and just terribly slow all around. Shame since I loved the T450s dearly.

I've been running Fedora 40 (and recently 41) on my P14s G5 Intel at work, absolutely great machine.

Is it the core ultra 155H? How is it efficiency/heat and performance wise?

Was planning on getting one.

Yeah, 155H + RTX 500 Ada. I use it primarily docked, so I don't really have data for efficiency/battery life. I did stress it with a Linux kernel compilation (`make -j22`), it was a while back, but I saw that the CPU frequency was up at 4GHz at the start, but dropped to 2GHz for the majority of the compilation, despite temps being in the 60-70°C range. I didn't try to troubleshoot it further since it's a work laptop and I don't compile huge projects on a regular basis. In terms of general system performance, I'm using it with Fedora KDE and it has been great.
