[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Lenovo workstation since 2017. I replace my workstation every 24 months, because technology move ahead so fast. P70, P71 and now the P17. I always by the most expensive, because I have a demanding workload. These are outstanding machines.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop was a cold drink of water in the desert of outdated workstations. The power available from such a form factor has made it possible to work from anywhere for our entire team.

Great Performance But Gets Too Hot On Lap
on January 31, 2021
Posted by: AI Researcher
I bought this laptop for use in A.I. research and software engineering. I maxed out the configuration to get the maximum performance and am very happy with the computing power, speed, and displays rendered by this laptop. Unfortunately, I am limited to using this machine as a workstation replacement instead of an on lap device because extreme heat is generated on the bottom and deck of this laptop after a few minutes of use. I have turned on the cool on lap mode in the bios settings and the laptop still gets too hot to use on lap after a few minutes. I have burned both my legs and hands with this machine and am very disappointed in its usage limitation.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Returning the unit
on January 6, 2021

I've been buying TP/Lenovo for over 25 years. I bought this to replace a P70 that was getting a little old. Sadly, this unit has some fatal flaws that make it entirely unreliable and I'm going to return it. I had a problem with it giving me BSOD errors as soon as I started to add software to. Undaunted, I reinstalled windows and fresh installed it. However, something is seriously wrong with the drivers or BIOS of the machine. After just a little bit of usage, randomly - the CPU will get locked at .79GHZ frequency. No software adjustments like power settings etc will change that. Sometimes, even a reboot won't fix it. If I unplug the power cord, wait a few seconds and plug it back in though - then it will work again. Secondly, the NVIDIA RTX 4000 would lock its memory clock at 805 MHZ under mild load. A soon as the card started to heat up (as in - when it got to 66C - which is barely warm - its supposed to be able to get into the 90s) the memory clock would get set to 805 MHZ and no software settings / cooling off would change it. This took rebooting the video card or a shutdown / reset to get it to work.
The machine is very powerful when it was working - very fast, graphics were beautiful - great design and very solidly built. It was so frustrating to have the machine not work. Ultimately, I ended up fresh installing windows over 5 times trying to get the machine to stay working reliably. I'm going to return this machine and I'm extremely disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I puchased it for architectural design. Performance is super and design is simple and nice. Only problem is heat management. I9 processor easily touch 100 ℃ ,which sometimes causes system shutdown.
