Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 launches with 3.2K OLED display, Thunderbolt 5 and up to 64 GB RAM
IFA 2025Lenovo has unveiled the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 after teasing the laptop in Japan at the end of July. Like the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 before it (curr. $2,299 on Amazon), the new Gen 8 edition targets creators who crave a mobile workstation experience. However, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 weighs less than many other 16-inch competitors with a 1.84 kg starting weight.
Nonetheless, the new machine features Intel Arrow Lake-H processors with 45 TDPs. While Lenovo has not revealed which processors it will be offering, the information that it has provided indicates that the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 will be available with up to a Core Ultra 9 285H with 16 cores, a 5.4 GHz peak clock speed and an Arc Graphics 140T iGPU.
Additionally, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 will be configurable with Nvidia RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell GPUs, 64 GB of LPDDR5X-7467 RAM and 8 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage split across two M.2 drives. A pair of Thunderbolt 5 ports are also onboard, as is a 90 Wh battery within a housing that measures 354 x 241 x 9.9 mm. Meanwhile, Lenovo suggests that there will be three display options culminating in a 3.2K OLED panel with touch support.
The ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 will be available later this month in the US starting at $2,189. By contrast, the Eurozone should start receiving the same laptop a month later for €2,959 and upwards. Unfortunately, full SKU details remain unknown at the time of publication.
