Lenovo ThinkPad P53s laptop review: With ultrabook processor and Quadro graphics

CPU performance barely increased. Based on the ThinkPad T590, Lenovo presents the comparatively low-cost ThinkPad P53s workstation. The configuration and maintenance options are somewhat limited, but everything else remains solid as usual. In this review we'll clarify the details of what buyers can expect.
Lenovo ThinkPad P53s-20N6001NGE

There aren't many vendors to choose from for buyers looking for a workstation. One of them is Lenovo, which is targeting potential users in the lower price range with the ThinkPad T590's housing base. The hardware remains unchanged with Intel's Core i7-8565U, 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD, but the ThinkPad P53s offers an Nvidia Quadro P520 graphics unit instead of an Nvidia GeForce MX250, as well as a smart card reader (also optionally available with the T590).

Since the case and the basic configuration are the same, you can refer to the review report of the T590 for a description of these points. Other models from our database can be added under each table to the comparison devices listed below.

Our measurements show a good contrast ratio of 1,444:1 and a very good black value of 0.18 cd/m² for the P53s. With this, Lenovo's workstation performs comparatively well, even if the contrast value is slightly higher than with some competitors.

The CalMAN analysis also demonstrates that colors are displayed with a slightly increased blue proportion. However, this can be completely adjusted through calibration. The corresponding ICC file can be downloaded in the window located above on the right next to the brightness distribution graph.

Outdoors, the Lenovo ThinkPad P53s is only partially usable due to its low brightness. Outside of shaded areas, image content is difficult to identify, which is why it should be avoided.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
33.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 18 ms rise
↘ 15.6 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 89 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
51.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 24.4 ms rise
↘ 26.8 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 86 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The IPS panel of the ThinkPad P53s has very stable viewing angles. Image content can be recognized from almost any angle without becoming distorted or showing the wrong colors.

Performance - Well served with the Core i7

With our current configuration, the Lenovo ThinkPad P53s targets users with medium requirements on the performance of a workstation. Nvidia's Quadro P520 is still used as a graphics card. The current CPU options only include the Intel Core i7-8565U and the Core i7-8665U. 

 

Processor

The built-in Intel Core i7-8565U is an energy-efficient processor of the Whiskey Lake generation and offers clock speeds between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz. Intel's Thermal Velocity Boost can also slightly increase the clock speeds, as long as the core temperatures don't rise above a certain value. The available performance is therefore largely dependent on the cooling system.

In the P53s, the CPU performs sharply, which is very similar to the behavior of the ThinkPad T590. The values in the endurance test fall after a short time and settle at about 10% lower than the highest result achieved by the P53s in the Cinebench R15 benchmark. Performance is used comparatively well. In the individual tests, Lenovo's workstation performs better than other devices with the Intel Core i7-8565U, and in the multi-core test, for example, it reaches a value that's 17% higher than the average of all the laptops that we've tested with this CPU. On battery power, the P53s only reaches 514 points instead of 686.

The performance reached by other CPUs in our tests can be found in our CPU Benchmarks article.

System performance

The ThinkPad P53s also delivers good results in the system performance benchmarks. The values reached in the PCMark 8 and PCMark10 benchmarks are slightly lower than with the ThinkPad T590. In everyday work, the workstation runs very smoothly and provides quick access to files as well as fast-starting applications. We didn't encounter micro-stuttering or anything of the sort with our test model.

Graphics card

In addition to the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620, the Lenovo ThinkPad P53s also offers an Nvidia Quadro P520 for the rendering of slightly more demanding image content. Performance in the 3DMark benchmarks is about 10% higher than an AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200. In the Specviewperf benchmarks, however, the AMD GPU performs better in most disciplines.

Our GPU Benchmarks article shows how other graphics cards perform compared to the GPU used here.

Gaming performance

As expected, the gaming performance of the ThinkPad P53s is slightly low. Especially with newer games and in Full HD, the limits of GPU performance are quickly reached. The older titles we tested run smoothly even at higher graphics levels, but the resolution has to be reduced as well.

The expected performance in games for the Nvidia Quadro P520 can be found in our GPU Games article.

Emissions - Quiet speakers and buzzing fan

Noise emissions

The Lenovo ThinkPad P53s is silent in daily operation, as long as you don't use demanding applications. Although the fans can be heard under load, they remain quiet as well. The fan noise is uniform but quite high-frequency, which can definitely be unpleasant for sensitive users.

Temperature

Stress test
Stress test

Our measurements show that the ThinkPad P53s reaches surface temperatures of up to 24.4 °C (~76 °F) when idle and a maximum of 55.6 °C (~132.08 °F) under load. The warmest spots are at the back of the bottom side. However, these don't heat up so much that the workstation can no longer be used on the lap.

During our approximately one-hour-long stress test, the temperatures inside the P53s rise to up to 85°C (~185 °F). The clock speeds of the CPU fall far below the base speed for a short time but are able to stabilize again quite quickly. On average, however, the base clock speed of 1.8 GHz isn't reached again. At the beginning of the test, the power consumption of the ThinkPad P53s briefly reaches 69.4 watts and then settles to about 42 watts.

Speakers

The speakers of the ThinkPad P53s are very quiet and offer a sound spectrum with pronounced mids. Higher and deeper tones fall flat and are practically non-existent. In very quiet environments, media playback is occasionally possible. In the long run, however, external speakers or headphones should be favored.

Battery life

In our practical Wi-Fi test, the P53s achieves a runtime of 8 h 37 m. This means that the battery capacity of 57 Wh is used comparatively well. However, the ThinkPad T590, which is identically equipped except for the Nvidia GeForce MX250, lasts just under two hours longer. If you opt for the very good 4K display, the battery life will be lower (about 6 hours for the T590 4K).

In review: Lenovo ThinkPad P53s. Review device provided by:

In our test, the ThinkPad P53s shows what it is: A cheap workstation. The case is stable and of high quality, but the hardware, except for the Nvidia Quadro P520, is also found in many other current laptops. In addition, there are acceptable maintenance options and good system performance.

The ThinkPad P53s is a cheap alternative for users who are looking for a specialized GPU but don't require a high-end configuration.

However, Lenovo should've done a bit more with the display. This screen represents colors with a quite low coverage, and the brightness leaves much to be desired too. We already know this problem from the identically constructed ThinkPad T590 office computer. Optionally, Lenovo also offers the very good 4K panel for the P53s, with the only real drawback for it being the higher power consumption.
