Can you tell me the model of the Thinkpad that you are using. I am looking to buy one.

Thinkpad E495 with Ryzen/Vega 3500. Not sure it's still available because it should've been superseeded by the newer Ryzen/Vega 4000 chipset by now? Be sure to put in a 2nd memory stick to not slow it down (see the review on notebookcheck why), and also to have at least 16GB RAM.

Edit: I picked mine because it was on stock for take-away (there isn't usually a choice of "pro" notebooks with matte screens in retail); for the same kind of money, you could get better value I think; I had hoped for a little more performance for sure (but it's still a solid workhorse)
