[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This computer was purchased to run the latest AutoDesk products for in the field and out of the office travel. MS-365 is also used.
The Key features that made this the computer of choice besides it's processing power that hit the mark are as follows.
* Numerical keyboard on the right side. * USB (USB-3 & USB-C) ports * Wired NIC port * Manual camera shutter * Being able to toggle the FN function key to a setting like "caps" lock, as someone that uses many function keys (F1 - F12) this is a great feature on a tablet/laptop.
With many tablets and computers going in the direction of smaller screens, the larger screen size is a strong plus.
I had 3 other ThinkPads over the years and went with a smaller screen unit by another manufacture before switching back to the Lenovo ThinkPads line. This unit does not have the touch screen my last laptop had, and I miss it for giving presentations at lectures and video conference calls, but I have to say the screen stays cleaner when you don't touch it all the time.
A few things I would prefer that the laptop misses on are the following, but these are personal preferences and are the same for all laptops in general for me.
1. Simpler way to set the laptop to boot up with the numlock key on other than manually editing the boot code 2. No USB ports on the left side, and the slots set to the back on the sides rather than the front. As someone who uses portable drives to travel with large files, having the ports on the right side and closer to the front, conflict with my portable mouse use and or note pad writing. 3. HDMI port to close to the front which lead to the cables reducing space to place other items on the limited space of lecture podiums.
Even with these common flaws IMO that all manufactures make, the Lenovo ThinkPad line of computer is by far the best Laptop for my use and highly recommend the line.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent laptop for running engineering software, I was able to run Solid works without it crashing or my computer didn't sound like it was about to explode!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased so far - 3 weeks in. Laptop performing as advertised. No significant negatives so far, just the expected annoyances with moving files and setting up stuff on new machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did everything I could think of to communicate my needs for a laptop, Tried to build my own PC, still did not get what I wanted. Found your first sells lady to be clueless about my needs, Had to return the laptop she sold me. Have not found anyone to help get the laptop I need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m an Engineering major at college, and the ThinkPad P16v offers very good performance, although it is rather expensive I do believe that for those who need the extra power it is worth the money. My only complaint is that it claims that the laptop can do USB-C charging but I haven’t been able to get it to work, and when looking for help online I was getting mixed messages.
