We have a p16 gen2 at work with the i9-13980HX and rtx3500 and that thing is a beast! No matter what you throw at it, it won’t overheat. And did i mention it has 128gb of ram? It’s a beast. We use it with the docking station that has the good old ethernet port and more display outputs than you’ll ever need

I suspect many (most?) users will use the thinkpad workstation as I do, with a dock and dual external monitors. The missing ethernet functionality is handled by the dock, and not missed on the road. I do have an ethernet dongle, still unused.

Yeah, but I have old P-series thinkpad at home and it has all ports possible, so I just pluged two monitors via hdmi and thunderbolt, lan and sd cards just like that.

Still use my trusty old W540 , i7 Nvidea 16gig 250ssd and 1Tb backup , the P16's grandaddy I suppose , love Lenovo's Thinkpads.

I'm looking for upgrade options from the W540 I use now. I love it and only wish battery lasted more than 3 hours. Screen and trackpad could be improved too. Specwise, i7-4800MQ, Quadro K2100M, 16GB DDR3

Hi, this video was really informative! It appears that your configuration is coloured black, but on Lenovo's website and on the model's spec sheet, the only available colour is "storm grey". Can you confirm whether your model is actually black or that it looks black due to your lighting?
@BandH12 күн бұрын
The color is a darker gray, it may look black in the video from the lighting.

@@BandH Thanks. I don't think that I'll buy this laptop anyway due to the ridiculous 60 hertz display on such a premium laptop. There are other screen options, but those aren't 4K nor pen compatible.
What do you think so far? I'm also interested in this laptop

My AMD model comes with an ethernet port - love it. Great video review.

Trackpad is the main reason I still look at Thinkpads, though the 4 ram slots and user-replaceable GPU is certainly appealing. However, I had to return this laptop as it wouldn't even fit into my large backpack. It's just that bulky, unfortunately.

I hate that the P16 doesn't have an ethernet jack. I have real-time applications that need an onboard nic, I have a thunderbolt nic on order to see if I can keep the laptop.

Is this review considering user upgrades? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it is possible to replace the inbuilt ram options with recently released 48 gigabtye ram modules.
@kevinnapier8996Ай бұрын
It is. But you can not use ECC ram for the 192GB ram setup. 128GB setup can use ECC ram.

Would the P16 Gen 2 or the just released P16v Gen2 workstation be suitable for running music production software such as Presonus or other DAW to record and produce home recorded music? Thanks!
@BandH3 ай бұрын
Both the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 and P16v Gen 2 would be more than capable of running a DAW such as PreSonus Studio One. ThinkPads make excellent portable audio workstations in general, as they are sturdy, reliable, and can be configured with abundant RAM to handle large sessions.

Thanks very much for your quick and informative response. Not only does the B&H website have excellent information, it is great to discover your excellent KZfaq channel. In Canada, the P16v Gen 2 higher end configuration is available with a Ultra 7 155H or Ultra 9 185H processor, 32 or 64 GB maximum of RAM, 1 TB max. of RAM, and either a RTX 2000 or 3000 graphics card. Do you think 64 GB of RAM be abundant enough, and would the RTX 2000 or the 3000 graphics card be more suitable? I'm hoping it will come on sale at some point soon :) Thanks again.

I have Gen 2 with 13950HX, it is not performing better than gaming laptops. The RAM speed is limited, cpu TDP is set lower than similar spec laptops. Very disappointing

Thinkpads are workstations meaning that you might get a little less raw performance but reliability, build quality and compatibility with your software are the biggest concerns for the manufacturers. We are comparing a military grade machine with a laptop full of rgb😂❤
