[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far after having this for less than a month this laptop has checked all the boxes and more! Yes its a big laptop at 17" and it has some weight at 7lbs but I read the details before purchasing and the weight is expected with the tough exterior body of the unit. I feel I absolutely got everything out of this that I paid for!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have seen, but not owned, a ThinkPad before, but decided to purchase based on a recommendation. The unit has a solid build, has the feel of a commercial unit, and has good documentation available for it (this is important to me). Overall, a 5 star.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blazing fast with great GPU. Used for Solidworks 2021. Significant improvement over previous 2019 P50. Shipped in 2 days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this machine as a replacement for a Thinkpad Helix 2 that had served me well for 6 years. It is still running just fine but my needs have changes as well as my eye sight (17" display versus 12") This is by far the most powerful PC I have ever owned. It is a joy to use and I have a sense of pride as I use it with my clients (I am a CPA/Financial Consultant). It is a BIG machine which is fine for me as I truly needed a mobile workstation not a ultra-book. It has all the attributes that I have come to love in a Thinkpad, not the least of which is an outstanding full sized keyboard. There is nothing as nice as Thinkpad keyboard. It is incredibly fast, not only to boot up, but in these days of Zoom calls etc. it compiles the Zoom videos I need to send to my clients at 200 mph. It is technically a beautiful machine. I also opted for the 4k screen which is work every penny of the incremental cost. I spend a large number of my working days utilizing this machine and it makes my work easier and more enjoyable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's "Almost" a 5 star, but what is with the FN placement??? It's so frustrating! That's where Ctrl should be. This button placement issue has been the cause of many pre-mature email sends! Else, I love the mic mute button, and overall performance. The slide for the cam is also a good idea, but needs to be available for the inferred as well, and needs to be easier to use (I have to grab a pen or such to use the current mechanism).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to read website because display size is big 17inch. But one thing I am disappointed is that it supports only M2 NVMe. I have 2.5 inch SSD but can not use it on P17.
Only concern is the loud noise from fan which is on whenever you use program.
