Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad P17 G1, Xeon W-10885M RTX 5000 Max-Q

80% Lenovo ThinkPad P17 Gen 2
Source: PC Mag
The only thing that keeps the Lenovo ThinkPad P17 Gen 2 from claiming an Editors' Choice award is its colossal bulk; unless you truly want a plus-size screen, there's no need to punish yourself by carrying this beefy workstation when equal or nearly equal power is available in lighter packages. (The ThinkPad P1 Gen 4 is literally less than half the weight.) But the P17's performance is faultless and its display tops the charts for quality as well as surface area. Got unlimited work to do? Get an unlimited laptop.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
