Notes: (amateur nerd but getting more into it again. Home Servers ect)

Torn between getting a thinkpad p14 or omen transcend 14. Ik I should probably go for the omen but I've heard they have somewhat frequent hardware issues. Im interested in the thinkpad for the reliability especially since I'm getting into Linux, setting up a home server and learning about internet privacy and such. I mainly play platformer games like silk song but would also like to play bg3 overwatch or rivals on occasion. Also the omen has a soldered wifi card which was something I was hoping to undo. Basically I'm just like do I want reliability or something stronger that might crap out on me. Both 32 gigs ram but that's not as important lol. All help very much so appreciate
