MagyarLenovo ThinkPad P15v G2 laptop review: Affordable business workstation
The Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen2 is a 15-inch workstation that is positioned between the ThinkPad P15s and P15 groups of laptops in terms of features and price. Like the latter group, it uses a Intel Core i7-11800H, but comes with the option of a Nvidia GeForce RTX A2000 as the most powerful GPU available for this variant. The ThinkPad T15p Gen2 uses the slower Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, which is configured as a professional variant (Nvidia T1200) in our P15v G2.
Both devices can be equipped with a 4K display (600 nits), just like the T15p Gen1. The more bulky ThinkPad T15g, on the other hand, is a workstation variant of the ThinkPad P15 that has shifted in the direction of gaming. The P15v series thus offers powerful components at a not too high weight and price (around 1,800 Euros). Lenovo advertises its workstation for creative individuals: whether this claim is justified, particularly in regard to the display, will be revealed in the following review.
Note for international readers: The Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen2 is also available in other countries in various configurations at various prices (see "Price and Availability" at the end of this review for examples).

Case: Stable plastic for the matte ThinkPad
The case of the ThinkPad P15v appears similar to the ThinkPad P15s, but is higher (by around 3.6 mm) and heavier (by 360 grams). The lid is also considerably thicker, offering more resistance to torsion, but it can still be twisted noticeably.
The same case as the ThinkPad T15p is used here, which means stable, matte-rough ABS plastic all around, but without the fiberglass reinforcement of the P15s. Also missing are the haptically pleasing rubber coatings, which makes for a very rough underside as known from budget ThinkPads such as the L15, or the ThinkPad R500 of the distant past.
There are no flaws in the workmanship, and stability is on a high level. The magnesium-reinforced base unit cannot be twisted by any stretch of the imagination, and the keyboard unit only yields slightly in the center when targeted pressure is applied. The hinges are very taut, but still allow for one-handed opening up to a 180° angle. Unfortunately, the ThinkPad is a magnet for fingerprints.
Due to their more powerful graphics cards and overall stronger cooling systems, the ThinkPad P15 and T15g laptops are significantly thicker laptops at around 31.5 mm compared to the 22.7 mm "thin" and thus lighter P15v, resulting in a weight difference of 600 grams.
According to the s-suffix (slim), the ThinkPad P15s is even thinner and lighter. Dell's Precision 5560 remains unbeatable with its 14-inch laptop size, while HP's ZBook Power 15 has similar dimensions to the ThinkPad P15v, but is almost 300 grams lighter at 1.97 kg.
Connectivity: Lenovo with fixed Wi-Fi 6 and SD card reader
The ThinkPad P15v G2 offers a lot of ports: on the left side is the proprietary slim-tip charging port and a Thunderbolt 4 port, which unfortunately does not support charging. In addition, there is a smart card reader and ventilation slots, so that waste heat does not pose an issue when using a mouse on the right side.
Features on the right side include two USB-A 3.2 Gen1 (Always On) ports, HDMI 2.0, GBit Ethernet and a full-sized SD card reader, which are no longer offered in pure business ThinkPads such as the P15s. Models with WWAN have a SIM card slot on the back of the device that acts as a µSD card slot if no WWAN has been configured.
SD Card Reader
Regarding read rates of 1 GB files, the ThinkPad P15v G2 comes out on top in its class. In the copy test, however, it falls well behind the 200 MB/s of the ThinkPad P15 and Dell Precision 5560 workstations with around 96 MB/s.

Communication
RJ45 Ethernet (1 GBit/s) is available. There is also Intel's Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (permanently installed), which allows the ThinkPad P15v G2 to transfer network data ten times faster than via cable, which is on the high level of the competition. An existing M.2-Slot (and the corresponding antenna cables) allows for the installation of a WWAN card, but this can be also ordered preinstalled
Webcam
Although the camera only offers a lousy 720p, the model qualities of the reviewer can be seen.
Security
Pure business laptops like the ThinkPad P15v offer numerous security features such as a smart card reader, a fingerprint reader in the palm rest, a Kensington security lock, TPM 2.0, and an infrared camera for Windows Hello with an integrated ThinkShutter (webcam shutter).
Accessories
Outside the rather compact 135 watt slim power adapter, no accessories are included upon purchase. An explicit docking port is also omitted and Thunderbolt solutions are lacking due to the impossibility of charging via USB-C. Only a special docking variant that combines the proprietary charging port with Thunderbolt can be used: the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Workstation Dock Gen 2.
Lenovo's packaging cannot be really described as environmentally friendly, even if the packaging and the box are kept very simple.
Maintenance
Despite several plastic clips, the base plate is fairly easy to remove. The nine screws are quickly loosened, while some of them remain stuck in the case. Upon opening, you have access to the RAM (1 free slot), the M.2-2280-SSD (1 free slot), the fan, which is replaceable (including the heat pipe), and the 68 Wh battery, which is also replaceable. The WLAN module is permanently installed.
Another useful aspect is that the keyboard can be easily replaced if it becomes worn-out or defective after years of typing.
Warranty
Like all upper-range ThinkPads (T/X/P series), Lenovo Germany offers a three-year warranty for the P15v G2 laptop, including Pickup & Return. On-site repairs are also possible for a surcharge, just like Accidental Damage Protection, Premier Support or extension of the warranty to 5 years.
Note for international readers: Lenovo's warranty policy may differ from region to region, so be sure to check Lenovo's website (where applicable) for the country of purchase.
ThinkPad Input Devices: Lenovo with decent 1.8 mm travel
Keyboard
Lenovo's splash-proof keyboard is very comfortable to use with its 15 x 15 mm keys and 1.8 mm travel. This has already been reduced to 1.5 mm in many ThinkPads. The pressure point of the smooth, slightly concave keys is clearly noticeable and the stroke very satisfactory. On the other hand, the keyboard of the HP ZBook Power 15 has an even crisper pressure point (in the tester's opinion), but a shorter travel. When in doubt, test the keyboards before buying.
Overall, the layout is very good, also thanks to dedicated navigation and the rather large arrow keys. Only the four keys to the left of the Enter and those in the top row are somewhat smaller. There is also a number pad, which can simplify the input of workstation-related data. Even under targeted pressure, the keyboard does not yield. The background lighting has two adjustment levels.
Touchpad & TrackPoint
The medium-sized touchpad measures 10 x 7 cm and has a smooth Mylar surface with decent gliding qualities. The integrated click buttons have a full drop and a well-dosed pressure point.
With a little practice, the TrackPoint and its three buttons enable the mouse cursor to be controlled very accurately and has the advantage that you don't have to take your hand off the keyboard. Scrolling in combination with the middle button is also useful.
Optional 4K display on the ThinkPad P15v G2
Lenovo offers a total of four matte 15.6-inch display options in 16:9 format for the ThinkPad P15v G2:
FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, 300 nits, 45% NTSC.
FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS touch, 300 nits, 45% sRGB
FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, 300 nits, 100% sRGB
UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS, 600 Nits, 100% AdobeRGB, HDR400, X-Rite
Our panel represents the entry-level variant and has a resolution of 1920x1080, so content is displayed sufficiently sharp. The scaling, which can be set to 100%, is also advantageous, providing for even sharper looking content and preventing scaling problems.
The brightness of around 280 nits is not optimal, but is still acceptable indoors. The contrast ratio of 953:1 is OK, as well as the black value of 0.32. Calibration results in a richer black, and we were also able to reduce the corresponding DeltaE grayscale value from 5.3 to a good 0.9. However, the Delta E color value remains high at 4.5.
Subjectively, the image quality is good, not least because of the relatively clear subpixels and the rich black. But the HP ZBook Power 15 and all other comparison devices offer much better rates on paper. The panel's response times are mediocre to slow and thus not optimal for gaming. No PWM flickering was detected.

* ... smaller is better
The smallest color space we measured (sRGB) is covered at just 65%. If you need larger color spaces, you should use other display options since our tested model proves unsuitable for ambitious image editing.
The RGB balance saw minor improvement after calibration using CalMan and the X-Rite i1 Pro 2 colorimeter. Blue in particular deviates significantly with a DeltaE value of ~15. The contrast ratio also increased by 45% to 1,379:1. However, the brightness decreased by about 20 nits due to the process. As always, our ICC color profile is available for download next to the illumination graphic.

Outdoors in the sun, the display with its 280 nits is not bright enough despite the matte surface. But the P15v can be used in the shade.
The readability of the display is very good up to a viewing angle of approximately 170°, which is typical for IPS. OLEDs perform even better.
Performance: ThinkPad P15v G2 better with Intel Core i9
Our review model comes with an Intel Tiger-Lake Core i7-11800H octa-core CPU. Alternatively, you can opt for a Core i9-11950H. On the graphics side, alongside the integrated Intel Xe-iGPU (32/16 EUs), you can choose from a Nvidia T600, T1200 (our model) or a RTX A2000, each with ISV certifications. Xeon CPUs and ECC RAM are not intended for what is supposed to be an inexpensive workstation.
Two SODIMMs hold up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, while our model is equipped with a 16 GB module in single-channel mode. There are also two PCIe 4.0 slots which each allow a maximum of 2 TB NVMe SSDs in M.2 2280 format.
Processor
Intel's Core i7-11800H promises a lot of power with its eight cores, but the CPU is not optimally configured in the ThinkPad P15v G2 in practice. In the course of the CB15 loop, 4.6 GHz is repeatedly reached, while the average is 3.15 GHz. After 10 runs, only 1,400 points are achieved consistently. The thick ThinkPad P15 G2 achieves 1,768 points with the same CPU.
Even the tester's much thinner ThinkPad P1 G3 achieves a sustainted ~1,700 points with the pre-generation Core i9. From the PL2 (initial), 87 of 109 watts are utilized, but the problem arises from the 60 watts (@4.6 GHz) pushed beyond PL1 (50 watts). As a result, the CPU regularly hits the 94 °C mark and is subject to phased thermal throttling.
About 25% of the performance is wasted in some applications. A manual TDP limitation to 50 or even 45 watts via the "ThrottleStop" tool still results in fluctuating behavior. Interestingly, there was no throttling under a constant consumption of 50 watts during the stress test with Prime95. A BIOS update did not help. It remains questionable whether this performance drop can be remedied with a more adjustable Core i9, which is also very expensive. At the very least, the predecessor is clearly outperformed here, but HP's ZBook Power 15 is ~30% faster with the same Core i7.
The workstation-related OpenCL score is only half as good as that of the ThinkPad P15, mainly due to the weaker GPU. This discrepancy is even more extreme in V-Ray 5 CUDA. In battery mode, performance drops by around 20% (@45 watts).

DPC Latencies
Like the thicker ThinkPad P15 G2, DPC latencies proved to be lousy with the latest drivers and BIOS at the time of testing. As so often, the kernel module and network drivers are responsible. The P15v G2 is therefore unsuitable for real-time video and audio processing. Dell's Precision 5560 fares much better here.

Storage Devices
The NVMe SSD from Toshiba has a capacity of 512 GB. The speed is as expected for PCIe 3.0, but not always necessarily sufficient for a workstation.
On the other hand, you can upgrade up to two faster PCIe 4.0 SSDs and also operate them in a RAID (0 or 1) configuration. HP's ZBook Power 15 G8, Dell's Precision 5560 and the ThinkPad P15 achieve around double the speeds.

Graphics Card
The Nvidia T1200 is the professional variant of the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, has 4 GB GDDR6 VRAM and runs up to 1,425 MHz. It is more than twice as fast as the GeForce GTX 1050 of the predecessor and its sister model in many benchmarks. An even bigger difference results from the optional RTX A2000.
In battery mode, the 40-W TGP is reduced to 30 watts and the clock speed falls by 250 MHz. Performance drops by 15% as a result. In this scenario, the CPU treats itself to 7 more watts more from the shared TDP.

Stress Test
After an hour of combined stress tests (FurMark + Prime95), the CPU hovers around 2.15 GHz, which is only slightly below the base clock of 2.3 GHz. Temperatures reach almost 94 °C and the consumption is 40 watts, while the Nvidia GPU draws its specified 35 watts, but does not fully exploit its clock potential at 986 MHz.
Under pure GPU stress, the graphics card extracts 40 watts and thus reaches the full 1,445 MHz at uncritical temperatures. Under sole CPU stress, the Core i7-11800H clocks at a stable 2.55 GHz, consumes a constant 50 watts and heats up to 91.6 °C.
| CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | Average GPU Temperature (°C) | |
| System Idle | 1,2 | 300 | 42 | 44,8 |

Energy Management: Average for the ThinkPad P15v
Power Consumption
The 1.6-watt consumption in standby suggests that a runtime of 2 days is not possible. On the other hand, the idle rates are very good for a workstation and can only be outclassed by the ZBook Power 15.
At the beginning of the stress test, 127 watts are consumed and 108 watts continuously. The 135 W power supply is therefore sufficiently sized and capable of absorbing any load peaks. A full recharge of the ThinkPad lasts around 90 minutes.

Battery Life
The 68 Wh battery manages to power our Wi-Fi test for 7.5 hours, corresponding to Lenovo's own claims. Other workstations achieve significantly longer runtimes with larger batteries.
HP's ZBook Power 15 also lasts significantly longer in web browsing at almost 12.5 hours. Dell's Precision 5560, with its 4K display, registers a meager 6.5 hours.

Pros
Cons
Verdict: ThinkPad P15v G2 for price-conscious creatives?
The ThinkPad P15v G2 manages the balancing act between business laptop and workstation quite well, considering that it is aimed at a target group that can do without certain high-end features such as Xeon CPUs, ECC RAM, the fastest hardware and a few other things. That said, the performance is generally good, although a 25% drop can be seen in some scenarios.
The display option will only suffice for creative people and in the CAD field if an external monitor is mainly used and for those who primarily have to do more complex calculations at a fair price. The graphics performance is adequate considering the price of less than 2,000 Euros, and the input devices are on a high level. There are some drawbacks in regard to somewhat dark display with low color space coverage. Fortunately, there is a 4K option.
The connectivity is broad and the ThinkPad is easily expandable. Overall, it scores very well against the thinner ThinkPad P15s. The case is also robust, even if other ThinkPads have a reinforced display lid. The amount of plastic may be displeasing to some in terms of feel and look. Battery runtimes are not the best, but emissions are business-oriented and very good, except for some minor hotspots away from the keyboard and the palm rest. The cooling system has been kept rather simple overall in favor of the price. Charging via USB-C is also not available, and the Wi-Fi module is soldered. But WWAN can be retrofitted.
The ThinkPad P15v G2 does not necessarily need a Core i9 and 4K display to be a solid workhorse. While it primarily shines due to its reasonable entry-level price, it remains a niche product with limitations, especially in terms of the display and CPU.
Excluding the sister model (T15p G2), there are two direct alternatives in the same price segment: HP's ZBook Power 15, which consistently performs at a high level, has a much brighter and better display, a well-designed keyboard as well as much better battery runtimes, but it is also annoyingly loud. Dell's Precision 3651 weighs only 1.79 kg, offers a 4K panel and USB-C charging.
