I am thinking of replacing my old workstation with a Lenovo Thinkpad P16
Gen 2.
That's a model line, not a model. It's available with multiple CPU/GPU
combinations.
You are correct. That slipped by me when I wrote my mail.
To use it as described, I suggest to get one with only one GPU. Most problems
laptop users want help with have hybrid graphics, and/or NVidia graphics as part
of their mix. The reason for hybrid graphics is basically for maximizing both
battery life and graphics performance. The former has no material relevance when
rarely running on battery.
Thanks for that idea. As I don't do anything remotely graphically taxing
I don't need a speedy GPU. Most of my work on this machine will be
programming and remote admin. Apart from watching a 4K video once in a
while I dabble a bit in CAD, but those are fairly simple drawings that
would in no way require a super-duper GPU.
I'll try to find out if they allow for a configuration with an Intel
graphics iGPU only, or otherwise the simplest dGPU. Ada 1000 seems to be
the lowest spec available if I remember correctly. That should be more
than sufficient.
