The last Thinkpad gaming laptop was the T500 with its Mobility Radeon HD 3650.
I really liked the build quality of the Thinkpad with the consumer GPU.

Can't they delay it for 3 months and ship with 3060,3070 instead?

Given that the mobile (laptop) Turing GPUs were announced around 6-7 months after the consumer Turing GPUs were announced, I expect the same for the mobile Ampere GPUs.

So I'm not very sure if Lenovo is willing to delay the ThinkPad T15g for around 6-7 months for mobile Ampere GPUs.

The build quality, support, and keyboards are night and day between Thinkpad and Legion. They are under the same ownership but they are not designed or controlled by the same people. Razer has been in the laptop business for years and now a days their only selling point is build quality, but their keyboard is unusable.

I do love the idea of Gaming-thinkpad.
I'm big fan of Thinkpad since T440 but I do personally think that if they put a RTX
In a Thinkpad. It would make it way to similar to Legion line-up. And since it's a hybrid machine the price could be very expensive for the performance that you get... The only benefit you get is better build quality. Which seem a little bit useless..

@_MT_,
marketing, probably. The P series is defined by having Quadro GPUs and being workstations. A non-Quadro P ThinkPad wouldn't fit in.

You'd hope that if they do opt to produce a gaming machine that they wouldn't stick to the same screen options of the regular model as the article suggests and would instead offer at least a 144Hz option, if not higher than that to make good use of the 2080.

It's not necessarily a gaming machine. It's a fact that GeForce units are cheaper than Quadro. And not everybody needs or benefits from a Quadro. The premium is pretty steep. But why does it have to be a separate model, I have no clue.
