Nice review of this unit. Liking the updated presentation style. Key travel has gone from 1.8mm (P15/P17 gen 2) to 1.5mm as Lenovo is standardizing most of the Thinkpad line on it. Still enjoying my P72 from 2018 and still a beast for what I do. Glad to see 16:10 finally making an appearance in the P line but a bit sad there is no more 17' Thinkpad
@@andrewmarcdavid I am about to get this laptop from my company, can you kindly advise if it can do 4K 120Hz to an external screen via HDMI please. This is an important spec for me as my own personal computer can I want the laptop to be able to keep up to what I am used to.
Good review, I didn't hear mention of the 3 buttons for the touchpad which is essential for me for doing 3d work on a train without a mouse. I love that it has a num pad too!
Great review!! Thx....I just received a P16 gen 1 vPRO i7 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, NVIDIA RTX A2000 8GB GPU and mine came with a usb-c RJ45 adapter in the box!! I usually leave this in the office and sometimes travel with it. So the bulk does not bother me. This is a corporate replacement for a 4 year old P52 i7 64GB RAM top end display and graphics...kind of heavy at 8lbs... which has been on life support for a while with a fan/heat issue. I'm just now setting up the new computer with software (GIS and CADD systems and database / ETL development... data heavy stuff) Thx again for the review, seems this replacement will not disappoint... same lighted keyboard layout and will run faster, quieter, cooler. I will chime in if I have any major snags.
I have 21D6004YUS and I love it. The thing is a beast and I've tossed everything at it and no issues. Plays any game on ultra no issues maybe cyberpunk .. 4k gaming no one can. I love the non black you barely see any finger prints.
Bought a low spec model of this 2 months ago. Planning to gradually upgrade once in a while. Hasn't disappointed thus far. Only down side is that it's short of enough ports for the size and very uncomfortable on the lap as it's got thick rubber feet pads at the bottom for ventilation. The weight definitely makes it too tough on the lap. Who am I to judge, it's meant to be a deskbased PC.
Thanks for highlighting the diminished key travel. I don't understand why Lenovo is moving away from excellence in keyboard experience. It should be a spec that they highlight, but instead they don't even mention it :(
Can you please also do a proper full review of the thinkpad x1 carbon gen 11? and maybe if possible thinkpad T14 gen 3 (or 4 maybe if it comes out ) Would also love to check if Linux if it works
My first impressions: Fast, nice big screen, looks to be a capable machine. Personally I don't like an offset keyboard, I'd prefer no number pad and a keyboard aligned horizontally centered with the display. The keyboard travel is (like every other lappy I see these days) too shallow for my tastes. Fortunately I will only need to occasionally use the keyboard. The real surprise for me is that it advertises 3 usb-c ports supporting power delivery, but it does not charge over usb-c. It wants 170/230W, so it won't even try to charge via usb-c. According to Lenovo forums, it does support "power delivery for charging external devices only". So it's a usb-c hub for power delivery. Cynical me thinks this feature may have been added solely to claim usb-c power delivery on the spec sheet. Don't lose that power brick!
Great comment! I'm typing this on a comfy W530 keyboard and it's a pleasure to type on it. I hear older Thinkpads were even better. Shame Lenovo went with this type of super thin chiclet keyboard, totally ignoring the requests of their users. It looks thinner than that of the the P1. But I'm glad they still offer a trackpoint option, which many of us still use. I do CAD and setup Max scenes with the trackpoint while flying or traveling etc, something you can't comfortably do with trackpads.
Thanks for the review Andrew. I have had two of these and both had back light flicker and track pad issues. For me, the back light flicker was easily visible when I set the background to medium grey and cranked up the intensity. I'd be curious to know your method. As far as the track pad, the top right corner of the track pad had almost as much travel as the bottom right corner. There were also times when the track pad wouldn't respond to a tap - I had to move my finger to a different location on the track pad to get a response. I still like the design of the machine, but I'm a bit nervous about trying another.
This is an Excellent PC from Lenovo in my opinion with 645 nits of brightness as per Andrew's measurements, nice webcam and mic qualities as well. A nice port selection and good battery life rounds up the ThinkPad P16 Gen 1. Noticeably missing is that RJ45 port which may be a turn-off to some. Excellent review once again Andrew!! 👍😁
The weird thing is - T16/P16s, which are thinner and lighter, have RJ45. Thank you, Andrew, keep up the good work! Looking forward for your review of T16.
I ordered the top end of this machine and unfortunately had to return it after two weeks. The machine itself along with the monstrous power adapter is just too heavy to carry around. Despite being Linux certified, the support was wonky and had to spend many hours to get some some hardware to work. Also had trouble with my dual Lenovo Gen32 QC 10 setup - Windows 11 randomly switched one off. The fans are noisy under high load and the claimed ±7 hours of battery life doesn't really last that long. On my normal workloads (Running 1-2 VMs for dev work), the battery lasted about 2 hours. After a few tweaks, I was able to get 4-5 hours. Went back to a 2019 Macbook Pro with an eGPU.
I bought this for work to run 3D and MS Oculus. I had Power issues when I was travelling. The Laptop didn't go back to Power Supply Charge after switching to Battery with an error on bootup. Then I did a whole bunch of Lenovo Updates but still failed. The fix was to do a COMPLETE DISCHARGE, by removing the whole PC back panel. A BIG -ve on Battery power options. Not sure if is persistent but read online a lot of people with similar issues.
Lack of inbuilt ethernet, at least 1gig kills its viability as a mobile workstation. Baffling oversight from Lenovo, for an otherwise decent looking chassis. It's not like it doesn't have the space for it. Anyway, great review.
Great review and very informational! Saw the live unboxing and this laptop is personally underwhelming giving the key travel on a desktop replacement. I Hate having to give up the 17 inch screen just to get 16:10. Might wait until the camm ram is available on this before ask work for one.
Nice PC. Camera and mics are good. Keyboard layout is good. Nice numpad. Even though the key travel might be a little shallow once you use it for a short while you will get used to it and not even notice it. Definitely a powerhouse unit. Great review.
Whats the idle temperature when this laptop is under low-medium load (not stress test)? Ex: A few applications open like Visual Studio, a movie in VLC in the background and some browser tabs open in Chrome. The resolution I'm getting will be 1080p with an i9 12900HX. Its supposedly just a beefy base model that was on sale recently. I know its subjective but curious.
Hi Andrew, I have just bought thinkpad P16 gen 1, do you feel the touchpad sometimes lag, slow response? I had reinstalled touchpad driver but still have problem. Thanks!
I think i like the p17 maxed out myself hopefully they make a gen 3 of that model... I like the rugged quality it brings...also for ddr5 i want 512gb of memory to 1tb no Xeon??
Thank you, Andrew, for this excellent review. I will agree with Michael about the updated graphics and presentation style, the color went well with the red piping on the laptop. This is an excellent laptop, for professionals. Very few negatives, companies will not bat an eye about the price. I respect Lenovo for their innovations in laptops. My Yoga9i just gave up the ghost, way too early, didn't hit the laptop jackpot. Thanks for this. A question, will you be covering the Samsung Unpacked Event this Wednesday, 2/1, on the mobile channel? Take Care.
I have owned this laptop as my daily since autodesk university this past year. It’s a bit heavy but I didn’t expect a lightweight for this class of workstation. I have the hx class processor, 64g ddr5, 2 tb ssd, and the a4000 gpu My biggest complaint is that the cpu will not boost to anywhere near the levels I expect. My primary software used is autodesk inventor and autocad electrical and it really does feel comparable to my desktop 12900ks w/ 3080 but there are times I would like to have the extra cpu clock speed. I have looked at other laptops with this processor and 3080 class processors and they have a significantly higher output power supply. Possibly choked back?
The new P16 is nothing like the P15 and P17 series we're used to. This doesn't look like ThinkPad. This looks like a gaming laptop. It's also less practical for a workstation: less performance, fewer ports... I bought the P17 Gen 2 and it's been my last chance for a proper ThinkPad workstation. Sure it doesn't have an integrated optical drive like the older models, but at least it has 1x ethernet port and 2x USB drives. I would've loved one more, but compared to this new P16 disappointment, it's a charm! There's no reason to buy a ThinkPad anymore, you might as well get a MacBook Pro...
Less performance? I have this same laptop 12950HX and run a 23,100 on R23 and all I did was repaste with TPM7950 (pad not paste). Even without a repaste a P16 with a 12950HX will absolutley destroy any P17. ANyone buying a P17 or P15 over a P16 with a 12950HX is a fucking lunatic. Nevermind pairing this laptop with a IETS GT500 cooler, which I also utilize when pushing it.
@@razvanrugescu Glad to hear your 11955 does everything you need it to, and to your expectations. However, there is no factual foundation to be had in an argument on whether or not the 11955 surpasses the 12950HX. Completely different beast as you are comparing a CPU that hits a ceiling of ~12900 on R23 to a CPU that hits a ceiling of ~23K on R23. That is literally a 78.3% difference in scores. Nevermind DDR5 RAM capability.
I just purchased this and it comes with a stylus pen but I can't figure out how to use it. Also there's no place to dock it so how would it charge? Thanks
Is DDR5 RAM work on 4000Mhz only in 128Gb configuration? Is 64Gb config works on full 4800Mhz speed? Is 128Gb config is 32x4 or 64x2 sticks? Thank you.
Great review, as always. Andrew, I really enjoy your content. With apologies for the tangent question, did you happen to see a new version of the X1 Extreme during your CES travels?
I dont understand, if the bottom is at 51 Degrees and the surface is around 46 degrees, how can you say its good thermals ? You can barely keep your hands on the keyboard to work. Just asking if I am missing something.
I bought a thinkpad p16 (core i9 12gen ,128gb ram ,rtx A5500, 2 TB ssd ). IT have only one problem which is cpu over heating so do you have a solution or I have to change it with another modle
I like how they have retained some of the IBM legacy in these workhorse machines. I am NOT a fan of their proprietary power connector, had one on the original X1 carbon and i hated it
Have to work with this thing. Performs well, but... You can charge it exclusively via the Lenovo's proprietary power port. Together with the "docking station" you need two power connections - one for the docking station and one for the laptop itself. That's absolutely braindead. An idiot must have designed this. My company buyed it. Personally, I would have never ever. I don't want to be forced to carry the power adapter with me all the time. And with two power adapters it needs more energy than necessary. By the way, the docking station becomes very hot, thus a lot of energy is going lost here, too.
The docking station sold by Lenovo needs a power supply. The ThinkPad P16 Gen1 can not charge through that docking station. For that, you have to use a second power adapter directly connected to the P16. Note I know this only for the P16 Gen 1. They may have a better solution for other models.
Waste of money; for ~3x less you can buy lenovo legion 5 pro on discount with same performance and better ports selection. Whatever, great review as always Marc!
@@andrewmarcdavid AD order some TPM 7950 from ebuy7 (takes a few weeks to come in) and I guarantee you are consistently hitting 22-23K in R23. I have two of these laptops with the 12950HX and both out of box would hit a ceiling around 18.5K. Both had identical results (within a reasonable margin) of between 22-23k. Hat's off to Lenovo for the vapor chamber. Finally a step in the right direction in terms of a thermal solution.
