[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great laptop for the price but battery was DOA after only a few days. I'm upgrading from an "ancient" P52 and feel like I got a great deal on features for the price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice mobile workstation for work professionals but somewhat heat dissipation issue on installed NVME. I'll keep looking on its performance over time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Lenovo ThinkPad mobile workstations for controls engineering purposes for over 10 years. They have been my go-to laptop for industrial environments and have I have tested them to their limits. Six years ago, one was yanked off my work table in the middle of a plant floor and that computer is still ticking to this day. I always battled getting the P17's to fit into my backpack. That is my only gripe that I have with the previous versions. This new P16 Gen2 has a different aspect ratio than I am used to, but I am learning to love it. It fits perfectly into my backpack and the new color scheme isn't too bad, either. I like how fast and stable the workstations have always been and this one is not any different. I will continue to purchase Lenovos. I do not, however, like that the docking stations come in different variations. If I am ordering a mobile workstation that needs the Thunderbolt 4 with the 300W charger and the split cable in order to run multiple monitors and charge the laptop, then offer that docking station when I am ordering the laptop. Please suggest the lesser 135W variant as a pairing. I was forced to return the two (2) docking stations that I purchased with my two (2) P16 Gen2's and go without because the price went up substantially. Maybe I will order them at a later date...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is almost the ideal laptop for me - it has a powerful CPU, lots of RAM and storage, and a very good 3D graphics card, suitable for Machine Learning experiments and modern video games. Other options I considered were Lenovo Legion 7i, Dell XPS 16, and Mac Book Pro. I wish it would be a bit lighter, but since I do not intend to carry it around, it is not a problem for me. Battery life is as not as good as the MacBook Pro, but I was able to use it for several hours for "usual" activities, which did not involve GPU. Its charger is rather heavy, so I purchased a "slim" version (also 230W) from Lenovo. Also added 3 years of Lenovo services (premier support plus, smart performance and smart lock), given it is the most expensive laptop I ever owned.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is a definite workhorse. I've had some hardware compatibility issues, but nothing that amounts to more than an annoyance. I only wish that I had read the physical specs a little more as it is a massive laptop which, in my opinion, stretches the definition of the word mobile. It works for me, but it isn't a device I would purchase for most of my users.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased laptop to handle higher processing / graphics card need on our mobile workstation with inspection equipment, and does the job perfectly. Previous laptop with older graphics card could not handle the scanning data input.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The P16 Gen 2 is a workhouse (have 96 GB Ram installed). The only downsize is the weight and the off-centered keyboard takes a bit to get used to. Otherwise, it’s a great machine, and like the touch screen option.
