Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad P1-20MD002LUS

87.9% Lenovo ThinkPad P1 (Xeon E-2176M, Quadro P2000 Max-Q) Workstation Review | Notebookcheck
Today, we turn our sights to the workstation sibling of the critically acclaimed ThinkPad X1 Extreme. Our decked-out $4,220 configuration features a Xeon E-2176M CPU, Quadro P2000 Max-Q GPU, 2 TB NVMe SSD, and 32 GB of RAM. How does it handle our comprehensive array of tests?
Lenovo ThinkPad P1: Sumptuous pro PC that gets a tad warm

With its high build quality, lavish keyboard, generous I/O and extensive range of CPU options, the P1 is a good choice for professionals looking for more grunt. Just a shame about the battery life, though.

Lenovo blows away its other thin-and-light workstation, the ThinkPad P52s, with the ThinkPad P1—a fast, fully loaded sibling of the X1 Extreme that delivers serious power for ISV apps in a chassis pared down to 4.06 pounds.

If the ThinkPad P1 had a longer runtime and its 4K panel weren't so dim, this machine would be the workstation to beat. Even so, the ThinkPad P1 is an excellent option for anyone looking for a portable powerhouse. The ThinkPad P1 is a portable powerhouse with a sleek, lightweight design and awesome performance.

95% Lenovo ThinkPad P1 review: Xeon and Quadro power in a four-pound package
Source: Neowin English Archive.org version
The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 is an awesome PC. Also, it has a nice name. It's the first of its kind, so before we get a ThinkPad P570 Yoga or something, let's take a moment to appreciate the simplicity of just calling something the ThinkPad P1.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad P1 review: Workstation power in a portable package
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
Considering the punch it packs, the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 is a pretty compact laptop. It's still quite large and heavy compared to true ultraportables, but anything less than a 15.6-inch screen would compromise the ability to fulfil its workstation purpose. The display itself is superb, even in its FHD incarnation without touch support.

NVIDIA Quadro P2000 Max-Q: Mid-range workstation graphics card based on the 14nm GP107 chip (similar to the consumer GTX 1050 Ti) from the Pascal architecture. The Quadro GPUs offer certified drivers, which are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications (CAD, DCC, medical, prospection, and visualizing applications).

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

E-2176M: On Coffee Lake architecture based professional processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates six processor cores clocked at 2.7 - 4.4 GHz (4.1 GHz with 6 cores) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++). Compared to the similar consumer Core i7-8850H, the mobile Xeon offers support for ECC main memory, is slightly higher clocked and offers more L3 cache.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

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.
