Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2
The 130 W TGP graphics option makes this one of the fastest 16-inch workstations in Lenovo's portfolio. However, aspects like temperature and fan noise are warmer and noisier than average, respectively, as a result of the demanding GPU.

The Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 is a fabulously powerful and configurable top-end workstation. In our book, its superior keyboard outweighs the higher storage capacity of its superheavyweight rival, the HP ZBook Fury G11. (If you need more than 4TB, get an external Thunderbolt 4 drive array.) Only one of the two can claim our Editors' Choice award in the unlimited class, and HP's DreamColor display and Wolf Security suite narrowly favor the ZBook. Still, the P16 is a spectacularly compelling alternative.

NVIDIA NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU: A very powerful professional graphics card for use in laptops that sports 7,424 CUDA cores and 12 GB of ECC GDDR6 VRAM. Brought into existence in 2023, this graphics adapter leverages TSMC's 5 nm process (4N) and Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture to achieve great performance combined with moderate power consumption. Hardware-wise, the RTX 4000 is a GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop in disguise; consequently, both make use of the AD103 chip and have little difficulty running triple-A games at QHD 1440p. The Nvidia-recommended TGP range is modestly wide at 60 W to 175 W leading to bizarre performance differences between different systems powered by what is supposed to be the same graphics card.
These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

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.

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.
Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
