Maybe give one of the AMD versions a try if you can? My P14s Gen 2 AMD with a Ryzen 5 5650U has been very quiet even running multiple monitors, temps have been low generally in mid-30s/low 40s unless I really push it. Supports S3 sleep too.

Yeah, maybe. The main issue there is that I was buying for it specifically being a good laptop, with portability taking a front seat, without gimmicks that add fragility like a hybrid hinge. The X1 Nano (aside from CPU) excels at this, whereas P series for example makes compromises for better power, which I don't need. If I want power my well cooled 5950X/3080Ti tower offers that in quantities far greater than any laptop could deliver.

X1 series is sadly Intel exclusive though, with the closest thing with AMD being X13, but that isn't quite the same. There's also the Z series but those are weird to say the least and decidedly "un-thinkpaddish". Might just have to settle for X13.
