As June draws to a close, Lenovo has decided to update its ThinkPad P1 range with a new release. To recap, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 arrived in September 2025 during IFA 2025 in Berlin. Reviewed by ourselves in December, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 impressed us with its LPCAMM2 RAM, Thunderbolt 5 compatibility, and its lightweight build despite being a 16-inch laptop (curr. $4,199 on Amazon).

Nonetheless, Lenovo unveiled the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 in March. Three months later, and the company has now started selling its latest 16-inch mobile workstation across East Asia and Southeast Asia. A global launch should follow shortly though, on the basis of the laptop's initial announcement and inclusion on Lenovo's PSREF website.

In the meantime, Lenovo is not yet offering the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 with the Core Ultra X9 processors or all of the Nvidia RTX Pro discrete GPUs mentioned in March. Instead, the laptop can currently be configured with the Core Ultra 7 356H, Core Ultra 7 366H vPro and the Core Ultra 9 386H vPro. As it stands, only the RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell (8 GB) laptop GPU is available. Even then, Lenovo does not allow a discrete GPU to be configured with the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9's entry-level processor option.

The ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 supports up to 8 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage across two M.2 2280 slots.

No other processor-related configuration restrictions exist, though. As a result, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 can be paired with the Core Ultra 7 356H and 32 GB or 64 GB of LPCAMM2 RAM and 1 TB or 2 TB of M.2 2280 storage. On top of that, Lenovo sells the laptop with a choice of the following display panels:
