Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 vs Durabook S15AB

The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 20QT0012US is an example of a great Traditional Laptop at its $1,400 budget.

In the case of the Durabook S15AB, however, we weren't able to find enough data to come to any reliable conclusions.

It did great in its "The Best OLED Laptops for 2022" roundup where it was named its "Best OLED Laptop for Traveling Design Pros", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

Returning to the Durabook S15AB, PCmag, a source that's known for its high-quality in-depth testing, has great things to say about it. In fact, it was named its "Best Large-Screen Rugged Laptop" in its "The Best Rugged Laptops for 2022" roundup, which is quite a feat.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 20QT0012US vs. Durabook S15AB comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
