[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The P53 computer has met and so far exceeded all of my expectations on speed and functionality. The fit and finish is also meets and exceeds what I expect from a 30 year ThinkPad customer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ThinkPad P53 is the perfect work machine i've been searching for and then some. From it's matte black sleek finish to it's perfect keyboard; this machine has everything. It's extremely well built and the best computer i've had to date. Well worth the pretty high price tag. The only question I have asked myself since purchasing is why I haven't purchased it sooner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This beast is humming along.
Between GPU array calculations in MATLAB to smooth video editing in Adobe Premiere , there has been no task it hasn't chewed through in record time! :)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So for what I do creatively day to day (photo editing in Lightroom/Photoshop, Video Editing in Davinci Resolve and Motion Graphics/VFX in After Effects) the P53 Workstation has been a pretty awesome mobile solution. There does seem to be some thermal throttling but in the work I've done so far it hasn't impacted performance too much. The 4k OLED Touchscreen is an awesome panel to do photo/ video editing on and looks great for media consumption (especially HDR content).
It does get pretty toasty and, like I said, the thermal throttling could be an issue in the future (which is why I give the 4 stars). But for the most part it's a pretty awesome unassuming little laptop for the price.
I wonder why there are 2 USB ports on the LEFT side. I'm used to using a travel mouse because I can never get used to the tracking or the finger pad.
I'm RIGHT-handed so this is a major downer, having to plug in to the LEFT side and have a mouse cable across my lap or table, to my RIGHT hand.
I guess I should have paid more attention to the specs before I made the purchase.
