Deal | RTX 4080, 4K OLED: Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 with 64 GB DDR5 memory scores attractive discount
The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 may not be the freshest hardware in the arena, but the laptop's high-end internals make the performance laptop worth considering if found at the right price. That is exactly what appears to have happened, with the RTX 4080-equipped screamer now available for just $1754.05 on Lenovo's official store.
Compared to its previous sale price, which we covered over a week ago, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 is now cheaper by another $194, making the product even more attractive. This specific variant also comes equipped with 64 GB of DDR5-5600 memory and 1 TB storage. Interested customers are requested to make sure that they utilize the following coupons before checkout: "LENOVOHOLIDEAL", and the legendary "EXTRAFIVE".
The 14-core Intel Core i7-13800H "Raptor Lake-H" CPU powering the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 is about to blow its third birthday candle soon, although the chip is still plenty powerful for the majority of workloads one might have. As indicated by our review, the GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU maxes out at 80 watts, which is passable but absolutely nothing to write home about. This results in a 15% to 20% performance deficit compared to similar laptops with higher wattage GPUs. After all, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 sports an impressively thin chassis and is intended for professional workloads.
Moreover, the workstation-oriented nature of the ThinkPad P1 is further cemented by its visually stunning 4K OLED display with almost complete coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 60 Hz refresh rate. Both the memory and storage are user-upgradeable. However, there is only one M.2 slot which is already populated. We also encountered DPC latency issues in our in-depth review, with the laptop dropping far more frames than we would like during 4K60 video playback inside a browser.
All told, the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 is still a great laptop for content creators and other professionals, especially at its current all-time low price. Folks who are considering taking advantage of this time-sensitive deal are definitely advised to peruse our review of the laptop before pulling the trigger.
