The Lenovo ThinkBook 15p has a great display but bad connections for a business allrounder

We just finished our test of the Lenovo ThinkBook 15p with GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q and Intel Core i7-10750H. In this configuration, we are seeing this device for the first time for our testing, since it is a spin-off of the "regular" ThinkBook 15. However, there are large differences between the two laptops that share this name.

While the model without the "p" in its name is available in the second generation at this point, scoring with modern connections such as Thunderbolt 4 and USB 3.2 Gen 2, the three meager USB connections of the ThinkBook 15p still limp along at 3.0 speeds and Thunderbolt is not supported at all. Due to the similarity in their names, potential buyers have to be very careful to pick the right model here.

What the ThinkBook 15p lacks in connection options, the allrounder makes up for with a great 4K UHD IPS display. The high-resolution display is clearly the highlight of the ThinkBook 15p. At around 600 nits, it is surprisingly bright and offers a fairly high color space coverage and good contrast. If it weren't for the display, there would be hardly any reason to buy the ThinkBook 15p at its hefty price of 1600 Euros (~$1910), since the input devices, connection equipment, and maintenance options are better elsewhere, such as in the ThinkPad series.
