It loads fast and works really well. Keyboard feels good, sturdy, and the number pad is well placed and makes data entry a breeze.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent build quality as always. Very impressed with how rigid the chassis is and how streamlined it is for a bigger workstation-class notebook. Great performance. Excellent expansion and access to the expansion slots.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really fast computer with enough power to design, develop and compile anything from full color production magazines to programming any application. Best part is that its not as heavy as most workstations. It's actually pretty lite.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am partial to Lenovo and ThinkPads having used them for Corporate
and personal use.
My latest personal ThinkPad, the P53 is intended as a desktop
replacement and for video editing work. Though relatively bulky
and heavier, it is fine as a desktop that can move if needed. The
FHD is more readable on the 15.6" display, versus than on my
more mobile T480's 14" display.
I'll mostly have it on AC power and have the processor work at
better performance. It can eat power, run hotter and be noisy when
needed but are not issues for me.
I trust the engineering that goes into ThinkPads and am confident
that it will be supported (Lenovo and third-party) and last many
years. Upon evaluating other competitor models, I suspect heat
management is an issue for Intel 'H' processore but that Lenovo
has it properly engineered.
I also like that there is Maintenance documentation and that
software updates will be available -something you don't always
get from others.
The P53 has a bottom cover secured with screws so I don't have to
worry about breaking snap-lock tabs when I want to open that.
The P53 has SODIMM slots, so no soldered-in memory worries for me.
I saved some money by just getting 8-GB. When upgrading memory,
be aware that the second SODIMM slot is under the keyboard. The
third and fourth slots are under the bottom cover.]
I have the T1000 video I/O so my P53 has room for a 2.5" drive
and two M.2 slots. I chose a 2.5" disk drive so that I'll get
the SATA interface cable and the rubber shock mount. I saved some
$ there and then upgraded to an M.2 SSD of my choice selecting
capacity/performance/$. After I moved the OS to it, I reused the
slower disk as secondary storage. Had I went for an M.2 SSD only,
I won't have that 2.5" drive shock mount or cable, and the M.2
SSD might not be a make/model/size that I preferred.
I think Bluetooth can be an option so ensure that your prospective
model has it. I use a BT mouse to avoid using up a USB port.
My P53 is working well as expected. Though I would have liked a
video and processor upgrade, I have what I need and within my
budget for the performance and value.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far I love everything! The only critiques I have about the workstation is that it is indeed a fingerprint magnet. FINGERPRINGS ALL OVER THE LID. You won't notice it while working because this inside material is different from the outside. When you close it you'll see the smudges of fingerprints all over the lid. Another critique I have about the device is the keyboard back lighting is rather weak. The light is behind a pretty opaque key that doesn't really give you a good lighting in dark rooms. It's alright but there is a definite need for improvement in that aspect. Personally I have been using a mouse with the product because I was so used to macbooks clickable track pad that I couldn't really get used to the non-clickable track pad. The keyboard is a little awkward to type on because it is off center leaving your left hand no place to rest. However, the P53's shortcomings are not noticeable once you get used to it and anyone buying this machine is really buying it for the workhorse it is and can be over the years with incredible repairability and and upgradable components. The machine is literally the fastest most responsive machine I've every used. I probably will get a more comfortable wireless keyboard for extreme typing situations. I am very satisfied with this product, Lenovo has put in so much into this workhorse and I applaud them for it but with any workhorse comes poor battery life. This thing will last me about 3-4 hours with constant normal usage (Powerpoint, Word, Excel, ChemDraw, Internet web surfing). You DO NOT want to get caught without your power brick. I will be investing in a portable power supply for the machine so I can at least get 8 hours out of it if needed. I am a graduate student. The price I got this puppy for was amazing, make sure to check out lenovos website constantly as they have deals all the time. Sorry for the disorganized structure of the review. (I wrote as I thought.) Benchmark tests on this machine were relatively high and for the price I can't complain. I'd give a five-star review if lenovo can figure out how to workout my critiques. Regardless, AWESOME LAPTOP and I do not regret a thing.
I would recommend this to a friend!
