It's quite obvious that the ThinkPad lineup is not designed for gaming but for business users and other laptop buyers who value reliability and sturdiness of these Lenovo laptops. However, since machines like the current ThinkPad P1 can be equipped with immensely powerful Ada Lovelace-based dGPUs like the RTX 4080, professionals don't need to carry an additional device in order to satisfy the occasional gaming itch.
Fortunately enough, the top-end configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6, which sports the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 dGPU with 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM as well as an Intel Core i7-13800H Raptor Lake processor, is now discounted by a whopping 56 percent which brings the unrealistic list price of the 16-inch workstation down to a much more reasonable sale price of US$2,379. Deal hunters have to apply the two stackable coupon codes "WSDEAL13" and "BUYMORELENOVO" to benefit from this considerable discount for the ThinkPad P1.
In addition to the mighty CPU-GPU pairing, the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 features a 500-nits IPS display with a QHD+ resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels and a fast refresh rate of 165Hz. In combination with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of SSD storage, the RTX 4080-equipped laptop doesn't cut any corners and should handle even the most demanding professional use cases with relative ease. Needless to say, interested buyers who plan to use their laptop primarily for office applications should probably look elsewhere unless they are willing to pay a premium for one of the most powerful gaming-capable ThinkPads on the market.
