My daily workhorse is a P1 gen6, a great machine for my needs. It has a lot more performance than I need most of the time. It is an outstanding laptop, I highly recommend.
Andrew made a good point in this presentation of the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Mobile Workstation which is that some people might use this as a desktop replacement and as such, battery life and the fact that it is thick and heavy are basically mute points. As a professional workstation, it has a reasonable price and as Andrew also stated, companies that buy this in bulk will get a substantial discount from Lenovo. The webcam and internal mics are all clear, bright IPS display and excellent port selection makes this the perfect product that will get your professional work done at the end of the day. Thank you for the very informative review Andrew! 👍😁
Impressive PC. Camera and mics are very good. Keyboard layout is excellent. Nice to see a full size numpad that is designed properly for full functionality. Like the upgradeability and also excellent port lay out. Battery life not an issue since most users will use this plugged in anyway. Display is excellent. Since this is Intel based no real problem with most software etc. Another quality excellent review.
My review of the laptop: - the keyboard typing experiences is hell for the wrists - they really tried to make it as uncomfortable as possible with the numpad (pretty useless for everyone) shifting the keyboard over and what I can only describe is razor blades they put at the bottom edge where the wrists go. It is a lot more mobile than you'd think. The key presses feel cheap. no ethernet port is a hugely dumb thing, very confusing why they couldn't just add this. there is definitely room for it. The speaker is beautiful, the screen is beautiful. The Ctrl key NOT being the bottom-left most key over the FN key is an interesting choice. seeing as the Ctrl key is used WAY more and it should be easy to find. The finger print reader is good but not great. They put razor blades at the edge where the wrists rest. I'll say it once more, the edge where your wrists are forced to sit is not comfortable at all. Huge, brand-destroying oversight. Also, 20% of your left hand is forced to rest on the track-pad which isn't great, this doesn't really cause any issues though. I would've laid out the edges and keyboard much differently. Finally, having a proprietary charger specialized to your brand in 2024 is evil, stupid, wrong, immoral, braindead, evil, really stupid, evil and awful.
@andrew. Thank you for your professional reviews. I am an architect and I am not sure I understand all Lenovos variations of the laptops. I would like to understand the main difference between new Lenovo Thinkpad P14s gen 5 and Lonovo Yoga Pro 7i Gen 9. Seams Thinkpad p14 is done for the profesional graphic work, but Yoga Pro 7 is much more powerful. It would be great to explain the conceptual difference in these two in one of your videos? Thanks
Just received this unit from work, and I've discovered that it's plagued by a known bug regarding the sleep mode.. at least for these specs: i7-13850HX / 64G / nVidia RTX 2000 Ada / 1T NVME Basically, the fans are not stopping when the unit is put in sleep mode (regardless if it's being charged or not). There's a whole thread on the Lenovo's forums about this and so far there's no fix in sight for it (topic: 'ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 Fans Always On While Sleeping')
It was given to me as a demo by Lenovo, I can say that it is like a miniaturized server. Two things are missing, fan noise and ethernet port. Other than that, it's a great device. Thanks for video.
@@qewiu830 I haven't used it in a very quiet environment, but if you're going to use it in a library, I recommend running the computer in low power mode.
I really appreciate these kinds of reviews because it's hard to get full videos about Lenovo ThinkPads, it would be great if you could do the review of the following laptops as well: - ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 (AMD) w/ Ryzen 7 - ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 (AMD) w/ Ryzen 7 - ThinkPad T14s Gen 5 (Intel)
We are currently using the P15 Gen 1 and 2 in the office. I'm curious if this will be my next laptop. We swap them every 4 years or so. I'm currently at 3,5 years with mine.
Guys / @Andrew, I have a question since I bought my P16 gen2 a year ago. Can I charge its battery using only the thunderbolt 4 cable? If so, what cable is tested and recommended for this, in addition to the gan charger? Or can I just charge the battery using the enormous official 230w charger?
im trying to buy a laptop for college studying comp sci, do you have a recommendation for a good reliable laptop thats good all around for about 900-1100
Thank you for the excellent, thorough review, Sir! Great review, and just ordered one to replace a Dell Precison 7730. Just subscribed, and thank you again!
You said those ThunderBolt ports on the back are full function. Can you use them to charge the device? I have the Gen 1 and I cannot use those rear ThunderBolt ports to charge it.
Hi, I am just curious about the comparison between them (p16 g2) vs Dell precision 7680, I heard 7680 get problem with thermals. I am Dell user (7520) jusst want a new laptop for my Cad work. Thanks for reading.
Nope. Lenovo just expanded the model list of P16 Gen 2's in 2024 with 14th gen Intel CPUs. Psref site mention introduction dates for specific models, and it looks like Lenovo expanding model list quite often.
Can you make comparativom review with razor blade 16 and Lenovo i9? Just stop the crap that this are different laptops and make good compassion, I basically don't understand why would i pay more fore think-pad instead of better performing razor blade?
GPU aside, this makes the xps look great, with only slightly weaker CPU scores but 2x the battery life! Shame the xps keyboard/design is a complete joke/failure

This keyboard is the best of any laptop by a huge margin.

The 13950hx with the 5000 ADA is my current daily driver. It's a very capable machine but will throttle quite a bit under heavy load.
Does yours have the 128gb of RAM? How is battery life on it?

Does it lack fan noise or does it have too much?
@@qewiu830 After the BIOS update, the fan noise returned to normal, there is no noise at all when you do not use the graphics card much.

Hey Andrew, are you planning to review the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 that uses a new type of RAM, which is LPCAMM2?
Waiting on Lenovo
@@andrewmarcdavid Great, I can’t wait to see the video!
P1 gen7 has only one slot lpcamm2. Micron 16,32,64GB RAM modules. Samsung planed Max 128GB module
Great review! Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Will Thinkpad be coming back out with a 17" or larger screen in the 4th quarter 2024 or during 2025?
Thanks! Greate review, but could you please review a bit cheaper models? Like ThinkPad T16\E16 Gen 2\3?
Noted!

do review of Lenovo ThinkPad P1
Gen 2 now comes with both 13th & 14th Intel CPU?

Via thunderbolt 4 100w, thunderbolt 5 230w. Wait for new Intel CPU with thunderbolt 5
Just in case someone sees this in the future: The ports can NOT charge the laptop. Check PSREF, it mentions that they only support power-out. :(
P14s gen 5 looks like a great review device. hint>>
