[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the weight and performance of this computer. However, it's brand new and my screen is blinking and will have to send it in to be repaired. This is a known issue with these computers and it's frustrating they haven't figured it out before sending them to customers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far the P1 Gen 3 is exceeding my expectations. Fast as can be and super reliable. The last computer I owned I had for 7 years, so this purchase was a big deal to me. It has not disappointed me yet! Super happy with my purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek design, light as a feather, quiet and powerful -- with a built-in camera shutter. Wonderful machine, and I've owned MANY lenovo laptops over the years since they are a much better machine than any other competitor with a trackpoint mouse (an absolute requirement for me).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great laptop, excellent thermals and portability. Upgraded from an x1c6 as CC was struggling. The p1g3 is no slouch. My only complaint is that while it will charge via 100W USBC PD, it freaks out once or twice a day and acts as if the USBC dock has been unplugged/replugged quickly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great computer. Performance is awesome yet still light. The design is minimalistic. I love the matte look.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this laptop. I purchased the FHD version and think that this machine is a bargain for the specs. The moment i turned it on and booted it up i noticed a screen abnormality occurring randomly. I googled screen issues with the P1 and found a lot of information on Lenovo forums. The issue is described as flickering, where the screen looks like it skips a frame rate refresh, gets brighter, and returns to normal
It seems that there is no solution to this problem. I read that some customers have returned their machine and found the same issue in the new one. The community consensus is that the P1 and the x1 extreme encounter some sort of screen glitch when graphics management transfers from integrated graphics to the dedicated graphics card.
I give this product two stars because this issue is well documented in the Gen 2 P1 and the Gen 2 x1 extreme, yet it persists in gen 3 models. For an issue that has garnered so much attention, i am disappointed that it was not fixed with a bios update or through hardware alterations.
I am still debating on keeping my 2 day old product. I very much like it but this screen issue is annoying.
I highly advice you read up on the screen flickering issue before spending a large amount on this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my design work, and it’s been perfect for that. In terms of looks and build quality, it is peerless. The laptop comes with a 135W charger, which is plenty for the P1 G3.
The fan noise was quite loud and turned on and off frequently when the PC is in the "Best Performance" mode. But choosing the "Best Battery Life" mode solved the issue. Anyway, I might have gotten used to it after using for a while.
