Laptop runs hot, therefore fan is often on, and it's loud. The nVidia GPU was always at 0%, and I had to do research online on how to put it work. Fan runs even more now. My bluetooth mouse keeps disconnecting after the laptop goes into sleep mode, and I have to turn laptop's bluetooth on & off to make it work again. Otherwise, good quality build. Good screen.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Thinkpad P1 Gen 7 has been fantastic - I was finding that I needed a bigger screen than my 14" X1 Carbon Gen 10, and the 16" 4K OLED screen is just incredible. Same fantastic keyboard, and the performance is great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new mobile workstation & fast - came across the P1-G7 and it hit all the important spec needs I had. I found the overall hardware build quality to be great and no issues with touchpad, screen, or operation. All works great and the performance is superb. Delivered quickly and easy setup. Only negative is there's only 1 USB-A slot. While we all wish USB-A would phase out - it's not happening anytime soon. So one keyboard/mouse receiver and you need a dongle to dance with USB-A. Yes, this is easily overcome with dongles but when you're dongle-less and need to pick a peripheral you're handcuffed. A question I've always had is how can Lenovo be so good at designing, licensing, and building machines comprised of 5-10+ hardware manufacturers (NVDIA, Intel, AMD, BOE, Micron, Samsung, Realtek, Qualcomm, etc.) but can't get logitech to make an internal unifying device? Latency on Bluetooth mice is not the same.
After using X1’s for about 6 years, I needed something beefier for video and number crunching. This fit the bill perfectly. A little larger, but not too heavy.
Recommend buying the OLED screen it looks great. Battery performance has been solid on cross-country flights.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really want to love this laptop. I am a video editor for work so I purchased this predominantly to work with Premiere. I haven't done much of that with it yet, but even just in much less intensive Lightroom, I've had several instances of it crashing and needing to restart the laptop to get the program to function. There have also been times when the laptop suddenly doesn't recognize the built in speakers and won't play sound. Extremely disappointing for a brand new laptop, especially at this caliber/price point. The screen is beautiful though, and when it works it works well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the computer. Screen is great but having an echo issue with my microphone. Otherwise exactly what I needed.
