Archive.org versionThere is one question we can’t get answered. Why do manufacturers cripple their otherwise powerful machines with unimpressive cooling solutions? Why bother making a workstation with a CPU that can easily manage 100W of TDP if the thermal management won’t let it even use its rated TDP of 45W? This is question is relevant to the ThinkPad P15v Gen 2, its predecessor – the ThinkPad P15v, the Dell Precision 15 3561, and a lot more laptops out there. You can have the best keyboard on the market (and Lenovo sure does), and an I/O that every laptop user will be envious of, but being unable to maximize your hardware’s performance is petty. Other than that, this unit seems pretty good. As we said, the port selection is more than decent with an SD card reader, Thunderbolt 4 connector, an optional SIM card reader, and a lot more. As for the internal ports – you get two SODIMM slots for memory expansion, and two M.2 slots for PCIe x4 drives. Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen 2’s IPS panel (AUO B156HAN02.1 (LEN40BA)) has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio.

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.
