This is a very snappy machine, it is built like a tank and it can replace pretty much any desktop computer. The details and build quality are flowless.
The machine itself is quick and powerful, the screen is great, it is physically sturdy and beautiful. I wish I could say all was wonderful here. I want to like this machine.
I am happy with my new laptop, except:
1. It runs that awful operating system Windows 11, where so many things are broken with not good workaround available (local user accounts broken, horrible taskbar problems, notepad useless, file sharing problems, missing seconds on clock, video editor won't work without internet connection, etc, etc). Please, please, please, give us the option to upgrade to Windows 10, at least while all of these things are so badly broken in Windows 11!
2. It can't go to sleep without becoming a zombie. It is a major struggle to get this machine to actually sleep so it isn't going to do things in the background while it's in my computer bag: The sleep button won't do it, and nothing in the UI fixes it. I've been playing with powercfg and it seems the mode I'm looking for ("S3") isn't even supported in the BIOS. Hibernate mode is available, but because the machine has 128GB of RAM, it takes like a while minute to start up again! So, bottom line, every time I take my computer anywhere I have to fight it to get it to sleep, then wait a whole minute to get it to wake up again. This is progress? Please, Lenovo, fix it so the sleep button puts the machine to sleep, and the power button wakes it up again in about a second. Your older machines could all do this...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The computer is powerful for what i use it for i just wish that the max battery life i can extract from it is 1.21 hours but i know that has more to do with intel and nvidia than Lenovo.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stunning screen, excellent 3D performance. Lacks ports and connections so you are forced into picking up a Thunderbolt. Travel charger will not charge laptop if you are using laptop. The Thinkpad Thunderbolt I did buy did not come with a power cable to run from Thunderbolt to Thinkpad. You had to catch that little gimmick and I did not. Had to buy it separately. The screen, which is amazing, takes some getting used to. If you use a secondary screen, the icons will be tiny and you have to adjust for that. My main goal for getting this was to work more easily with large, 3D laser scan data, and this machine tears that job up. So, I am satisfied in that regard. Did I mention the screen? Yeah, it's beautiful. The sound system is good and I have not complaints there. I was surprised at the time the machine took to boot. Not bad, but longer than I expected. Casing is nice, but I do miss having ports mounted right on the laptop instead of over on the Thunderbolt.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My P16 laptop is very fast. I edit hour-long videos every week and my old laptop (Lenovo W541) took about 45 minutes to compile/save the finished video. This P16 does it in about 5 minutes. I suspect part of that speed increase is the 128GB of RAM in this P16 (also has 4TB of SSD). The back-lighted keyboard is a real plus in low light conditions. I'm still learning to use the touch screen, though (haven't had a touch screen before).
I would recommend this to a friend!
