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.

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.

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.

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.
