Lenovo is currently running a huge sale that already resulted in massive discounts on several Legion gaming notebooks, mini PCs and business laptops from the prestigious ThinkPad lineup. Therefore, laptop users who desperately need an upgrade and are on the hunt for a powerful 16-inch workstation might want to consider the ThinkPad P1.
Fittingly, Lenovo has discounted the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 by a whopping 60%, which drops the sale price to a more reasonable $1,739 including free shipping. This model variant sports the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, which should be suitable for many laptop users. Furthermore, the 16-inch notebook is equipped with the dedicated Nvidia RTX Pro 2000 graphics card with 8GB VRAM as well as a very sharp and bright 4K IPS panel with up to 800 nits and full coverage of the DCI-P3 color space.
Since this machine is a portable workstation, it's mostly made for use cases such as 4K video editing or even AI-heavy workloads, which will benefit from the RTX dGPU. Before buying, shoppers should read our full review of the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8. Although our review unit was equipped with the even more vivid OLED display, it was powered by the exact same CPU and GPU, which means that our benchmarks and measurements should apply to the version that's discounted here.
Among other things, our reviewers enjoyed the thin and lightweight chassis of this 16-inch Lenovo laptop, which also features quiet fans as well as Thunderbolt 5 and two M.2 SSD slots for easy storage expansions. On the other hand, we noticed a couple of drawbacks of the tandem-OLED panel that's not found in this particular configuration, while the matte black surfaces of the laptop are an absolute fingerprint magnet. Despite all that, the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 is a well-made 4K workstation that should appeal to quite a few professional users and prosumers.
