However, many electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

P500 should work fine with latest NVidia driver. I have a T530 with
Nvidia, for FreeBSD it needs to be set to NVidia only (or Intel HD
only). (in BIOS) There's a third option that switches GPU based on
power and that does not work with FreeBSD. The P52S may have the same
feature?

Intel 8265 / Wifi might be an issue, you may need to run Current/Head.
It's not clear to me if the driver update is in 11.2.

If you are using the LTE/GSM card, I am not sure if that works? Maybe
somebody else does.

I don't think you will have issues with anything else.

T52S has Nvidia P500 which should work, I hope I'll be able to do the
switch

Wifi and LTE/GSM cards are not so much an issue as we are wired
