I have a 32gb t460p (skylake) myself and it is still an awesome machine. All day battery life during normal web dev with the extended battery pack, but it can also handle a 20 gb ram hadoop vm without bogging down, and bioshock infinite ran nicely on the nvidia graphics. It has just one real compromise: it looks very dated.

It seems they intend the t480 series to be its successor, now that you can get quad core cpu’s with dedicated graphics in that line.




Yep but the P was special because they put the insane HQ's in, the new 15w Quads are impressive but still way behind the 35w in raw crunch power.

That was the thing I liked about the T470p for performance it was the last step before doubling the price and getting a bigger heavier P-series.

The amount of power they put into 14" that stays cool under heavy load was damn impressive.
