Thinkpad P14s Gen5 AMD

Anyone using the Thinkpad P14s Gen5 with Ryzen 7 8840HS?

How's your experience on it? Would you recommend it?

I only have my eyes on them because they have decent enough display(100%sRGB) and good upgradability/repairability at a good price whilst having impeccable performance for most tasks and even for some FHD video editing/3D modelling

I plan to run Fedora Linux or Arch using it as a testing machine for AMD hardware and some other experimental stuff for different programs/applications before I build my main workstation which I plan on using all AMD hardware on also running Fedora Linux/Arch. If I can get things configured I'll be using the laptop as the client side machine while using my main workstation as an remote desktop probably using Thinlinc or equivalent so I can work remotely for more heavy workloads as well as a testing machine for different releases before updating my main system.

Also, would be great to know how y'all dealt with the annoying "Dedicated Copilot Key" if there is any way to replace it or is a sticker the best I could go for..

Any other advice and recommendations would help.

Budget is around $1-1.5K
