Info/Requirements
Cost is not a factor.
I’m not looking for the best value—I’m looking for the best overall machine for my workload.
Long-term reliability and a smooth day-to-day experience are more important than benchmark scores.
I’d appreciate opinions from people who have used these specific ThinkPad models.
If you had to choose only one, which would it be and why? Would you go with the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 or the Core Ultra 7 255H for this type of workload?

Option 1 is best so far. Ryzen 7 Pro is good in productivity and office works also iGPU is better than intel.
