[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lenovo P17 mobile workstation: Not appeared as a beauty, but performed as a beast. If you really want to boost your working efficiency, there is no reason why you should miss this baby. With his cape, superman can fly high in the sky; with your P17, you can work fine all the time.
Can IBM make a mission critical laptop that works?

I own UniTesT™ test engineering & consulting to learn this beautifully designed unit exceeds temperature parameters, and already fried one motherboard's HDD throughput rate, with a replacement that does the same, and in addition, the fans no longer roar to cool the 210° F it sustains at will in ultra-performance mode.

Its a beast of a machine and is replacing a loaded TP W520. Noticeable upgrades are the SSD drive and a proper set of speakers. Obviously, everything is upgraded since 2004, but those are the two biggest bangs for the bucks. Purchase was quick and easy and delivery was under a week with everything arriving in good shape. My first task with it was to install Linux Mint (not a Windows fan) which was completely painless although I don't have the fingerprint reader working yet. So far I'm very happy with it. The trackpad, buttons, and red dot all have a nice touch as does the keyboard. The upgraded graphics and display are impressive. Performance is the real driver though and this machine crunches through both processor and disk intensive jobs an order of magnitude quicker that the old W520 it replaced.
