Lenovo ThinkPad P1 G6 review: 80 W GeForce RTX 4080 for ultrathin workstation
We recently reviewed the ThinkPad P1 G6 with the Core i9-13900H CPU, RTX 2000 GPU, and 1600p IPS display and found it to be a very competitive 16-inch workstation. This time, we're ready to check out a second configuration with the Core i7-13800H, GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, and 2400p OLED display to see how the different specifications might impact performance, battery life, internal hardware, and more.
Note that the ThinkPad P1 16 series should not be confused with the ThinkPad P16 series which consists a larger and heavier models with faster Core HX-series options.

Communication
While receive rates are steady, transmit rates tend to be slower and with more fluctuations than expected even after repeat testing.
Webcam
The unit has been configured with a 5 MP 1440p webcam compared to the 2 MP 1080p webcam on our original RTX 2000-powered review for a sharper picture.
IR and a physical shutter come standard.
Maintenance
When compared to the ThinkPad P1 G6 RTX 2000 configuration, the RTX 4080 configuration integrates an expanded cooling solution with a larger fan in order to accommodate the more demanding GPU. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of two expansion slots as shown by the comparison images below.
Accessories And Warranty
There are no included extras in the box other than the usual AC adapter and paperwork. Disappointingly, the standard limited warranty is only 12 months if purchased in the US compared to 36 months for many Dell Precision models.
Display — HDR400 With DCI-P3 Colors
The 4K OLED panel offers superior colors, faster response times, touchscreen functionality, and a denser native resolution than the 2K IPS panel on our earlier RTX 2000-powered configuration. However, these benefits come at the cost of a slower native refresh rate of only 60 Hz and a dimmer maximum brightness as shown by our table below. Thus, the IPS panel might be preferable depending on your application. It's too bad that Lenovo doesn't offer 120 Hz OLED options a la the Vivobook Pro 16X.

The display comes pre-calibrated with average grayscale and color deltaE values of just 1.4 and 1.16, respectively. Further calibration is therefore not necessary for most users.

The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 5 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms). |
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 60 Hz | ≤ 100 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 60 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 60 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8684 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Pulse-width modulation is present on all brightness levels as to be expected from an OLED panel. We're able to detect a frequency of 239 Hz from 0 to 57 percent brightness and 60 Hz from 58 to 100 percent brightness.
Performance
Testing Conditions
We set Windows to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below. Lenovo Vantage does not include any specialized power profiles to keep things simple.
Only Optimus 1.0 is supported with no Advanced Optimus or MUX options which is a bit disappointing considering the high-end RTX 4080 GPU.
Processor
The Core i7-13800H in our unit is only 3 to 5 percent slower than the Core i9-13900H configuration even after accounting for any throttling behavior. This difference is essentially negligible for the vast majority of users. Buyers hunting for more tangible performance boosts should instead consider the ThinkPad P16 series which ships with Core HX-series CPUs.

System Performance
PCMark scores are comparable if not slightly faster than the RTX 2000-powered ThinkPad P1 G6 configuration due mostly to the faster RTX 4080 GPU. Note that memory performance is slow since our unit has been configured with just one RAM module in single-channel mode instead of two.

DPC Latency
LatencyMon reveals DPC issues when opening multiple browser tabs of our homepage and 75 dropped frames when playing a one-minute long 4K60 video. The latter is particularly disappointing given the price and professional aspect of the model. It also suggests driver issues or poor handling of background applications that could interrupt the window in focus.

Storage Devices
Our test unit ships with the Kioxia XG8 KXG8AZNV1T02 instead of the SK Hynix PC711 on our original ThinkPad P1 G6. Overall performance is generally slower particularly when writing data, but read rates are nonetheless excellent with just slight throttling after about 3 minutes of stress.
Note that certain configurations of the ThinkPad P1 G6 can support more than one internal M.2 SSD. However, this particular review configuration can only support one drive.

GPU Performance
Nvidia Control Panel lists a maximum graphics power of 105 W. In reality, however, we're only able to reach a maximum of 80 W according to GPU-Z. Overall performance is subsequently 15 to 20 percent slower than the average laptop in our database with the same mobile GeForce RTX 4080 GPU as this particular GPU is more commonly running at higher power ceilings.
Regardless, graphics performance is still well ahead of the RTX 2000 in most benchmarks save for the Specviewperf Siemens NX and Medical tests. For faster performance, Lenovo offers the RTX 5000 at the highest-end configuration.
Running on Balanced mode instead of Performance mode impacts GPU performance while the CPU remains largely unaffected as shown by our Fire Strike results in the table below.
Power Profile | Physics Score | Graphics Score | Combined Score |
Performance Mode | 29543 | 33402 | 12423 |
Balanced Mode | 30978 (-0%) | 25806 (-23%) | 9616 (-23%) |
