I recently replaced my aging Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 2 with a Gen 6, so here’s benchmarks, side-by-side photos, and general notes on their differences!

Excellent comparison, Jake! Thank you! I would like to buy one too. However, I am confused about the speed of the ports connected to an external display. It is not for games but for 4K 120 fps 10 bit video. I need 40 Gbps uncompressed (so without DSC - preferably), but especially without chroma subsampling. In psref it is written that both HDMI and DisplayPort 2.1 via USB C, support 8K@60Hz but not how to get that bandwidth (raw or otherwise). Chroma subsampling but even an aggressive DSC (lossy) are undesirable. A true full HDMI 2.1 should support 48 Gbps theoretically but this one I am not sure. Same for DP 2.1 ports if they are full or bottlenecked.
