Lenovo Thinkbook 15p Review with 4k Display, GTX 1650 Ti GPU
Source: Lon.TV English
Lenovo's expanded their business offerings last year to include the "Thinkbook" - a line of computers priced below their flagship Thinkpad line. This new 15p laptop is well suited for creative professionals.

The much-better-equipped ThinkBook 15p available from a host of online retailers, with a lower price than the model at Lenovo.com, is quite a find, and the 15p as a whole is good enough to make buyers considering a ThinkPad X1 Extreme think twice.

Lenovo ThinkBook 15P Review
Source: Mobile Tech Review English
Lisa Gade reviews a new ThinkBook 15.6” laptop from Lenovo that targets content creators who don’t want to spend crazy money for a powerful and stylish laptop. The ThinkBook 15P runs Windows 10 Pro on Intel 10th gen 45 watt CPUs up to the 8-core i7. It has NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q graphics, and a full HD IPS or wide gamut 10 bit 4k display (both matte non-touch). It has a 2-tone aluminum lid and rigid build quality though it’s reasonably slim and light. The laptop has upgradeable RAM and storage, Wi-Fi 6, a fingerprint scanner and a webcam privacy shutter. Don’t confuse it with the Lenovo ThinkPad P15 mobile workstation that’ll also be reviewing.

80% Lenovo ThinkBook 15p review: A business PC for creators and some weird compromises
Source: Neowin English
Here's the good news: this is an excellent overall PC. It does a lot right, with a beautiful 4K display, an excellent keyboard, and more. It also does a lot wrong, such as not including DisplayPort out in the USB Type-C port. I'd also love to have seen better ports in general, a larger trackpad, and an IR camera. Still, you get a lot for the price.

Lenovo ThinkBook 15p review – business class, content creator notebook
Source: Laptop Media English
Keep in mind that the ThinkBook 15p sits in an area of the market, that’s between the business and the content creator segments. So, if you’re in for both of them, it’s not a bad choice. However, if you need more performance, MSI’s Creator 15 A10Sx packs a lot of power, but you need to have deeper pockets.

86.4% Lenovo ThinkBook 15p 4K laptop review: Multimedia allrounder with a great 4K display but weak connections | Notebookcheck
Lenovo has equipped its entry-level business series again with a Comet Lake processor, combining the CPU with a GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q, and thus turning the device into a multimedia allrounder. With this, it now offers the same specs as the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen3, but at a lower price. Our detailed test reveals any advantages the ThinkPad might still have or not have, compared to the ThinkBook.

85.6% Lenovo ThinkBook 15p G2: Testing the creator laptop with RTX and 4K | Notebookcheck
With the second generation of its multimedia laptop, Lenovo addresses some complaints about the predecessor. The ThinkBook 15p G2 shows some improvements and offers almost everything you could ask for in terms of media creation. Thanks to an Nvidia RTX and a powerful Tiger Lake processor, there is a lot of performance. However, a few weaknesses also remain.

Lenovo ThinkBook 15p Gen 2 review
Source: Laptop Media English
We are always skeptical when we see a “dual-purpose” notebook. By nature, the ThinkBook 15p Gen 2 is exactly that, with it both trying to satisfy business users, as well as content creators. In this perspective, the laptop is clearly nothing that catches the eye. This means that Lenovo has done its job perfectly. Yes, the device looks sleek with its dual-tone grey finish, while the lid and bottom panel are made from metal. However, one can never guess that it has the power to drive you through a high-res video editing session, or even 3D modeling. We feel that the notebook is perfect for architects as well, although the small amount of video memory (4GB) may become a limiting factor in larger projects. What will certainly help though, is that you have the option to put up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM in dual-channel mode. Also, the addition of a Gen 4-capable M.2 PCIe x4 slot means you can access large files as fast as possible. While you can’t run away from the fact that this is a gaming GPU and not a pro-grade Quadro offering, the Studio drivers should provide a bit of help.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q: Mid range dedicated graphics card for laptops that uses a Turing TU117 chip without raytracing and Tensor cores. Runs at reduced clock speeds compared to a laptop GTX 1650 Ti to achieve a much lower power consumption (35 versus 50 - 80 Watt).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU: Mid-range gaming laptop graphics card based on the Ampere GA107 chip.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile: Mid range dedicated graphics card for laptops based on the desktop GTX 1650 and therefore the Turing architecture (TU117 chip in 12nm FFN) without raytracing and Tensor cores. Available with 896 and 1024 shaders.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q: Mid range dedicated graphics card for thin and light laptops based on the GTX 1650 but with reduced clock speeds and power consumption. Uses the Turing architecture (TU117 chip in 12nm FFN) but without Raytracing or Tensor cores.

The CPU cores run at 2.6 GHz (base clock speed) Boosting up to 5.0 GHz and the likely all-core Boost frequency is 4.3 GHz. Hyper-Threading is enabled, allowing two threads to run simultaneously on each core.

i5-10300H: Comet Lake architecture (4th gen of Skylake) based processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates four processor cores clocked at 2.5 - 4.5 GHz (4.2 GHz for all 4 cores) with HyperThreading support.
