Exceptional Performance
on February 13, 2021
Posted by: AI Researcher
This workstation was purchased for A. I. research and for software engineering. To maximize computing and graphical power, the configuration purchased consists of a Xeon W-10885M processor, 128 GB Ram, 4 TB of storage, and a NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 graphics card. The processing power of this machine is exceptional and the displays are extremely vivid. Initially, I was disappointed in the unplugged, on lap functionality of this machine due to it becoming extremely hot despite the cool on laptop setting. After reading other P17 reviews and discovering that the transition to the unplugged state needs a restart for the machine to run in the cooler, laptop mode, I added the extra step of restarting the machine after unplugging it for on lap use. The restart should not be needed for the transition to an unplugged state but does resolve the heat issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my new Lenovo Thinkpad P17 for about 2 months now. I am pleased. It does everything well and it is the upgrade I was wanting. I love the trackstick and touchpad - both are superior to the touchpad I had on my old Dell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Moved from 15 y/o PC to laptop - Phew! What a change to a laptop keyboard. Using apps for word processing. Finding info online, slowly. I need "training" on how to use it. It's a big difference from what I am used to. But I really like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek, fast CPU, very manageable to carry and move about given its size. This has served me exceptionally as my work computer while I’ve been teaching high school physics from home during the pandemic. The built in webcam and microphone have been great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far this P17 has exceeded all of my expectations. I upgraded from my older thinkpad to the larger screen and add the numpad. It’s worked flawlessly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fast, solid, reliable, plenty of connections, this is a solid machine. With the latest cpu, plenty of memory and storage space, it should be a workhorse for a long time. Lenovo continues to deliver quality machines. The infrared camera for face login is a definite plus. Keyboard quality is excellent, "pointing stick" is excellent (track pad if you prefer, also excellent), and ti quickly pairs with a USB mouse if that is your preference. Lenovo does not load these with a bunch of junk programs, they are quite "clean." Good on line tech support. This would did require a battery reset which on line tech support detailed, but that immediately resolved the issue (battery was falsely reporting power issues). If you want fast, solid, up to date, and all of the conveniences we know and love from Thinkpads, this one will meet your needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is fast. The graphics are even better than i imagined. i am a gamer too and when i am not working on my system i love to game. this system is a blast in 4K when gaming. The speakers are the best i have ever used on a laptop. When i listen to music or while gaming the sound is clear and loud.
