Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 1 review – this is NOT a workstation
Source: Laptop Media
Perhaps this was one of the most non-recommendable laptops we’ve tested. One of the main reasons for this is the performance. It is outperformed by the 14-inch version in some cases, the battery life was not stellar, and it gets pretty loud. You guess what? It is expensive too! Unfortunately, its memory doesn’t support ECC, which is a bummer. Ultimately, this is not a workstation, no matter how hard Lenovo tries to brand it as such. In our opinion, it is a business notebook. In fact, it does pretty well as such. The feature selection is not bad, with an IR face recognition scanner, and a fingerprint reader on the block. Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 1’s IPS panel has a WUXGA resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. It doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, but unfortunately, the color coverage is quite low – 51% of sRGB. We also have to mention how portable this device is. Perhaps this is the greatest internal battle – portability versus performance. In this case, portability has one without giving the latter a chance. After all the laptop weighs less than 2.00 kilos, and has a profile of about 20mm. As we said, it would have been a good business machine. However, it is quite expensive, which makes some other products better overall offers. The Dell Latitude 15 5531 is one such example.

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.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

88.6%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
