bluzdog Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi guys, Lenovo has the P52 on sale. I can get one with an i7 8750H, 512gb m.2 and 16gb of ram for $1169. I'm looking to replace my old Dell Studio 15. Should I pull the trigger. I would post a link to the Lenovo site but I'm on an old iPad and it's a pita. Thanks.

Edward Garner Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 May I suggest you write down your requirements? Is now a requirement? Amazon Prime Days is just around the corner; other stores are participating. Just a few more months to the BF season. The new processors will lower prices and provide a bigger selection. I like to buy when I have a need. Just my 2¢. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Black Friday in July deal. My wife took over my Dell for her job search so there is a need indeed. See what I did there. 😄 Thanks for the input.

LAGinz Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I’ve been jonesing for a P52, P1 or Extreme X1, but have read some Lenovo and other threads about some problems with Thunderbolt implementation, BIOS changes bricking some, and some odd latency issues. Anyone know if these issues have been worked out? I’ve got a 7 year old Thinkpad that’s been like a recording tank for me, so I tend to be partial toward Lenovo’s.

bluzdog Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 I've read about the bricking issue and Lenovo said that it's been resolved. I thought the thunderbolt issue is with the docking station. I haven't read about a latency issue but I disqualified the Dell XPS because of continuing doc latency issues. 5 hours ago, LAGinz said: I’ve been jonesing for a P52, P1 or Extreme X1, but have read some Lenovo and other threads about some problems with Thunderbolt implementation, BIOS changes bricking some, and some odd latency issues.

LAGinz Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Piecing together the various threads on latency problems, it looks like they may only be on the machines with the NVidea Gen Force graphics card, which is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnbogi Ragnar Ragnarsson Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I have P52s at work with 32GB memory and 4K display. The machine itself works fine and is great. But I have a brick shaped Thunderbolt 3 docking station that was extremely unreliable at first but now crashes "only" once a week, was at first 2 times a day. Firmware updates made it more stable. My P52 has never crashed when not plugged in the docking station. My colleague has a conventional looking docking station (also Thunderbolt 3), that his P52s rests on, it has never crashed.
