Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G1 laptop review: A powerful, newly-designed HX55 workstation

Since 2015, Lenovo has had two models in the classic, mobile workstation segment where the focus is mainly on performance. Most recently, those models went by the name of the Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 and the Lenovo ThinkPad P17 Gen 2. As the name suggests, each device came with a 15-inch and 17-inch display. In 2022, Lenovo decided to end this workstation duality and now they offer one full-fat mobile workstation: the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 1, which replaces both previous models. In particular, a comparison with its direct competitors from Dell and Asus will show how well it fares with similar devices where mobile performance is a priority.

Case: A gray, aluminum lid with a magnesium frame
Since the inception of the ThinkPad P series, the P15 and P17 were the most classic representation of the ThinkPad design. With their boxy, magnesium-framed plastic cases and the classic hinge mechanism on the base, they were the ThinkPad laptops that came closest to models such as the classic Lenovo ThinkPad T60. For ThinkPad fans, certainly, a positive feature but the design could also be regarded as being past its sell-by date - especially concerning the large display bezels.
The ThinkPad P16 changes many things. The palm rest, keyboard and display cover are entirely in "Storm Gray". The rounded edges ensure a slightly less boxy shape. Regarding the rear of the device, Lenovo has shown itself to be keen to experiment as this area is emblazoned with red highlights. The P16 also looks more modern than its predecessor as the display bezels are much slimmer. However, for a modern device, they are still relatively large, in particular, at the bottom of the display.
The base unit is made of fibreglass plastic which is reinforced with a magnesium frame; just like the previous ones. The surfaces have a velvety coating and the gray plastic is less prone to fingerprints than the black plastic found in earlier ThinkPad models. The base cannot be twisted and the only weak area is the smartcard reader where the palm rest flexes slightly. Lenovo has chosen to use aluminum for the LCD cover and, likewise, it has received additional reinforcement in the form of a magnesium roll cage. The display cover's stability is much improved compared to the P15 and P17.
The large, top and base hinges, with their stand-out silver caps, are practically identical to those models and keep the display solidly in place without any hint of wobbling. The display can be opened with one hand to an angle of over 180 degrees.

More a ThinkPad P15 G3 than a P17 G3: In terms of size and weight, the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G1 is much closer to its smaller predecessor rather than the bigger one.
A comparison with the Dell Precision 7670 is also interesting: The 16-inch Dell workstation is more mobile in every way as it is not only smaller but also slimmer and lighter. With the Precision 7770, Dell continues to offer an even larger and more powerful 17-inch LCD variant.
Features: A ThinkPad P16 without RJ45
Lenovo has updated the design without drastically altering the connectivity options. The is only one change in addition to the port locations: RJ45 ethernet functionality has been dropped. Wired internet use is served by a dock or one of the Thunderbolt ports.
SD Card Reader
The SD card reader's benchmark results - which we tested with our reference AV Pro microSD 128 GB card - are surprisingly bad. The scores are well below average for a workstation-class device as well as its own predecessor.

Communication
The Intel AX211WiFi-6E card's performance is better than the AX210 found in the predecessor models ThinkPad P15 and P17. Above all, it performs well in the area of reception but sending data is a little slower and less stable.
Our review model didn't possess a WWAN module (4G LTE) but can be fitted with one.

Webcam
Overall, the 1080p webcam produces washed-out, blurry, noisy images.

Security
In addition to the fingerprint reader built into the power button, the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 2022 has a Windows Hello compatible infrared camera. The Kensington lock can offer protection and there is also an optional smartcard reader. The Lenovo ThinkPad P16 has a dedicated TPM chip and the webcam possesses a mechanical camera shutter.
Accessories
Apart from the 170-watt power supply, complete with a Slim Tip connector, the laptop comes without additional accessories. The most important optional accessory ought to be a dock such as the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Workstation dock
Maintenance
Lenovo has made it very easy to reach two of the four RAM slots as only the small cover on the bottom of the device has to be removed. Here you can also find a free M.2 2280 slot. It is slightly harder to access the other RAM slots, the second M.2 slot, the soldered WiFi module as well as the WWAN slot: the keyboard has to make way for that. The final hurdle presents itself in the shape of two metal covers. In total, another ten additional crosshead screws secured with plastic hooks are on the bottom of the laptop. On removing this part, you get a clear view of the large cooling system with a total of two fans and the internal battery.
All of these steps can be carried out without voiding the warranty. With the Hardware Maintenance Manual, Lenovo has provided a suitable set of instructions.
Warranty
Out of the box, the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 1 business laptop comes with a 3-year warranty. For a surcharge, this can also be extended to five years. Our review device has Premier Support with on-site service. However, most ThinkPad P16 configurations require the additional surcharge to enjoy this feature. Customers are only entitled to these extended service options in Germany. Internationally, the Bring In guarantee is available.
Input devices: The ThinkPad P now also has 1.5 mm key travel
Keyboard
Starting with the color, Lenovo has completely overhauled the ThinkPad P16's keyboard. The keyboard is now gray throughout, which, in our opinion, doesn't look quite as premium. While this is a relatively insignificant point of criticism, the decision to reduce the backlit keyboard's key travel from 1.8 to now only 1.5 mm as well as the reduced key height, weighs heavily: As a result, the ThinkPad keyboard loses a bit of the special flair it had before. Nevertheless, we're still dealing with a very good keyboard offering a wonderfully pleasant typing experience - although there's now not much that separates the Lenovo device from its HP and Dell competitors. It's a mystery why Lenovo themselves would choose to shorten the key travel in such a large and thick workstation.
Lenovo has not made any changes to the layout with everything as it was before. One change is of an optical nature as the outer keys are now square instead of rounded. As these are not the letter keys, it hasn't caused a negative impact on the typing experience. Similar to the rounded keys, the square keys are somewhat concave in shape.
Touchpad & TrackPoint
The Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G1's touchpad appears wider than the predecessor models and, width-wise, it has now grown 11.5 cm. The surface is made of plastic which feels even smoother than its predecessor. In terms of handling, the touchpad is very good and translates multitouch gestures excellently. However, the haptic feedback falls short of trackpads made of glass. As we are dealing with a mechanical trackpad, it is only possible to apply clicks to the lower part of the pad. The click mechanism is rather dull but doesn't rattle or wobble.
The TrackPoint continues to provide a good alternative to the touchpad if the mouse pointer has to be moved quickly while typing. Compared to its predecessor, the red, rubber-capped pointing stick has remained unchanged. By contrast, Lenovo has redesigned the dedicated TrackPoint keys which now look more modern without losing anything in the way of usability.
Display: A new WQXGA LCD option for the Thinkpad workstation
As is usual for ThinkPad laptops, the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 2022 offers a selection of various display options which cover a variety of applications and price categories. What they all have in common is a 16:10 aspect ratio as well as being 16-inch panels:
- WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, 300 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, matte
- WQXGA (2560 x 1600), IPS, 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, matte
- WQUXGA (3840 x 2400), IPS, 600 cd/m², 100 % AdobeRGB, matte
- WQUXGA (3840 x 2400), OLED, 400 cd/m², 100 % DCI-P3, anti-glare, multi-touch
The mid-resolution level of 2.5K found in the P16 is new as the P15 and P17 were only available in 16:9 with either Full-HD (1920 x 1080) or 4K UHD (3840 x 2160). The built-in WQXGA display delivers the advertised 400 cd/m² almost on the button with an average of 398 cd/m². Compared to its direct counterparts, this puts it in the middle of the pack. The Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip's display is marginally brighter.

Out of the box, the colors were set a little too cold which we were able to measure using CalMan and the X-Rite i1Pro 2 Colorimeter. Calibration helped correct this and also contributed to achieving an excellent DeltaE value of 0.8. As always, the profile we created is available to download, free of charge.
Once calibrated, the display can also be used for simple image processing as it completely covers the sRGB color space. For larger color spaces, one of the WQUXGA options should be selected.

Performance: A powerful Intel CPU and a rather weak Nvidia GPU
Lenovo offers the ThinkPad P16 G1 in a wide variety of configurations. All contain an Intel processor from the Alder Lake HX series with the options being the Intel Core i5-12600HX, i7-12800HX, i7-12850HX, i9-12900HX as well as the i9-12950HX. Unfortunately, Xeon CPUs are no longer available and their job is now being done by the CPUs which end in 50. As Lenovo doesn't solder its GPUs, every one of these processors can be configured with one of the following GPUs: Intel ARC Pro A30M, Nvidia RTX A1000, RTX A2000, RTX A3000, RTX A4500 and RTX A5500.
The possible variations don't end here as the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G1 has four RAM slots. That makes it possible to have up to 128 GB of DDR5-3600 RAM whereby also ECC RAM is available for 50 model CPUs. There are a total of two SSD slots and both can accept M.2 2280 SSDs. The maximum capacity mass storage Lenovo sells in its ThinkPad laptop is up to eight terabytes and comes in the shape of two 4-terabyte SSDs.
Test conditions
Lenovo uses Windows' own power modes for its ThinkPads power modes. For a short time, the processor can consume up to 125 watts but is limited to 95 watts for longer periods. If the power mode "Better Performance" is selected instead of "Best Performance" the consumption sits briefly at 100 watts and 80 watts under continuous load. Using the "More Battery Efficiency" mode, the limitations are considerably more severe with the turbo at 70 watts and the sustained consumption sitting at 30 watts. Apart from the WiFi battery test, our tests were carried out using "Best Performance" mode.
One special feature of our review device: It still comes with Windows 10 Pro. For most tests, this is not a problem but this older version of Windows was responsible for a very low score in Cinebench R15. For this reason we decided against the Cinebench R15 loop with this device.
Processor
The Intel Core i7-12850HX is a processor with a total of 16 cores. Since "Alder Lake" architecture possesses an asymmetric structure, eight of these cores are the powerful P-cores (2.1 to 4.8 GHz) with the other eight cores being the efficient E-cores (1.5 to 3.4 GHz). Thanks to hyperthreading, the processor has over 24 threads. As a member of the HX55 series, the typical TDP hovers at around 55 watts. For detailed comparisons with other current processors, check our CPU list.
The system's CPU performance is excellent and above average for this processor. The ThinkPad P16 beats the Dell Precision 7670 quite convincingly. However, the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is faster thanks to its i9. Interestingly, the X1 Extreme G5 is almost on par with the P16 although has just the six P-cores. Compared to the P15 G2 and P17 G2, the CPU performance is around 31 to 35 % better.
In battery mode, the ThinkPad P16 scored 14.844 points in Cinebench R23. Without a connected power supply unit, the CPU performance is around 15 percent lower.
