Thank you for this review. Surprising lack of gen 2 reviews on YT

Some really good advices, especially the missing LAN port and that G2 is much less noisier than G1. Thank you for the video!

Great video, thanks for sharing! There is no other P16 Gen 2 reviews available on YT.

That's a helpful review! thank you! specially the part comparing noise level between P1 vs P16. Myself has a P1 Gen3 for a couple of years and it's noisy and hot so that I had to use a cooling pad all time. Will go for P16 this time.

Thanks a lot for the review, really helped me decide! Got a i9-13980HX/32GB/RTX2000 Ada config, really enjoying it!

I am working on understanding memory on a Lenovo P16 Gen 2 right now. I have learned lots about memory and Intel processors last 3 days. It turns out the memory speed of 5600MHz will not run at that speed as more memory is added. My processor is also a i9-13980HX and I have 128GB of 4 x 32GB of 5600MHz memory sticks. If I add only one 32GB memory it will run at 5600MHz. If I add 64GB of memory (2 x 32GB) the speed is 4000MHz. If I add 128GB (4 x 32GB) the memory speed runs at 3600. Depending on processor design the Speed will vary as more memory slots are used. Good video!

Lack of ethernet port is ridiculous.

I purchased ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (Intel Core i9-13950HX vPro CPU, 192GB RAM, 2x4TB SSD, NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada GPU) a few days ago. I have chosen the ThinkPad because Dell Mobile Precision 7680 and HP Zbook Fury 16 G10 overheat and throttle a lot. I spent $35 on professional testing software called 3DMark and I ran one of its tests called Time Spy. The ThinkPad's CPU throttled for about 10s in a test which lasted about 380s. When the ThinkPad was struggling with the hardest part of the test, it was blowing as much hot air as small hair dryer. Its fan was spinning fast, but it was surprisingly quiet. Its noise resembled heavy rain.

Hi, did you get the 800 nits bright display? If so, how good is it? Does it reach the advertised brightness? How does HDR content look on it? Thanks in advance!

Yes it's idiotic when a ThinkPad especially a P series doesn't have a ethernet port

I'm a bit confused by the absence of an RJ45 connector. I want to ask if this laptop includes a network Ethernet adapter or not. I ask because the license of my CAD system is attached to the MAC address of the Ethernet adapter.

ThinkPad is the best for students, business, and daily chores. Mine is a P15 Gen 2...Works for me :)

do u think this one can run a full project on ableton for example 64 channels + plugins?

It would be great if you could include these things in the review as well: - showing BIOS and going quickly through all it's menus to show what configuration options are available - showing `powercfg /a` output in Windows command-line (or `cat /sys/power/mem_sleep` on Linux) to see if the device supports the S3 sleep (suspend-to-RAM) Thanks!

Hi, could you please test it with OBS studio to see the highest spec of video it can record? Like 8k@60fps, 8k@30fps, 4k@60fps, etc.? Thank you.

Watching this video from my P15 Gen 2. I bought it last year, right just before the P16 Gen 1 came out, and now Gen 2 is here. Honestly these P16 are less ThinkPad than previous models!

Thanks for the awesome review! The i9 models seem to be incredibly expensive, like 2x the price of the i7 models if I'm not mistaken. Is an i9 processor THAT much faster?

Great video Sir! i am now looking for a replacement to my P73, I was considering this but no ethernet port is a deal breaker for me, whatever were lenovo engineers thinking?

I have a p16 gen 1 core i9 12900 gpu A5500 but since i bot it , it over heats eaven when it is on battery saving mode

Beautiful and beast device, but it is shame that there is no Ethernet port, it is crucial for business nowadays😮‍💨😮‍💨, i still don't know whats the idea behind taking the port out!!!

The power indicator is located next to the TB4 port, it makes me wonder if the TB4 can be used to charge the laptop over PD3.1? it would be nice. thx

What is the price in your country

its like a Legion 5 pro with a TrackPoint isnt it? Oh and quadro gpu options.

Such a shame there's almost no videos on the P16. Thanks for this, could you also do a long-term review of this one ? btw I usually find these kind of homemade videos boring but for whatever reason yours isn't - good job on that !

How does the 3500 ADA perform compared to the 4080 laptop? It's hard for me to choose between them

What size screwdriver(s) do you need to open the chassis, remove the SSD, etc. - the same one?

Very heavy, not easy if you are carry in meeting from one room to other

The fact that it's so round at the bottom looks ugly. Thinkpad is always valued for their business like squared design, durability and performance.

Whats difference between RTX 3500 and other RTX 3000 series? (Sorry for bad grammar)

Very nice video! My question would be: Do you know anyone who has a P16 Gen 2 i9 with a 128Gb Memory and a RTX 5000 Graphic Card? It would be nice to see that. Besides it would be nice to compare the Best Lenovo Workstation (P16) VS a Powerfull Desktop PC.

a laptop thick like that and no RJ 45 port?

Hi, do you know is this model can be downgrade to win10 pro?

The laptop design make this one more similar to an Alienware than a ThinkPad.

I wish this had ethernet. Great review btw!

Does it have a matte screen or glossy screen?

what shame no ethernet ???

What is battery life like?

I need ethernet port... I hate dongles. -_-' This is a "no go"

I bougth this laptop and returned it because the poor quality chasis the lack of ethernet port and the fan noise even without load. The CPU easily reached 100 degrees C and constantly downclocks because the cooling system is subpar. The power brick only provides 230W and that's is not enough to feed the CPU and the high performance GPU. So both GPU and CPU are power and cooling limited. It was a totally disappoinment at $4000 US that I paid. So, I returned It and bougth an Asus Rog Strix with the same CPU and RTX 4070. It cost me $2000 and is better than the Thinkpad on everything except for the screen that while on the Asus is good enough on the Thinkpad was awesome. One important drawback on the Thinkpad also is the Ram speed support. It only works at 4000Mhz with 64 GB. On the Strix that same 64GB amount works at 5200 MHz.

No ethernet is to get you to by a dock for $400!

You need another camera lens. This lens distortion is extreme, we can't see the product

tooo expensive just buy thinkbook 16 g4

10,000 laptop no thanks

Lenovo limited RAM speed in 4000MHz, this is very st|upid design, Lenovo s|cam users. Don't buy Lenovo laptop anymore. This laptop is vey hot in use.
