The ThinkPad P1 is ripe - It's one of the best performing thin and light laptops on the market. Thanks for watching!

Honestly, as long as the Lenovo Thinkpad still exists, i wont use anything else.
1. The design is classic
2. The build quality is always top notch
3. The keyboard is always amazing
4. It is just SIMPLE AND WORKS.

you can swap fn and cntrl on thinkpads in the bios/setup ;)

Dave, love the content! Keep it going!

Note: your viewers may be interested to know that on Thinkpads, the BIOS typically includes the option to swap the functions of the Function and Control keys for people who would prefer it.

i like how this laptop really knows and is clear on who its intended for

[UnknownGunslinger]

I’m so glad, you’re finally reviewing a thinkpad

So basically the Lenovo thinkpad p1 is what the MacBook Pro should’ve been, but this one is 100x times better. My dad has been using the Thinkpad since the IBM days, and currently has a Thinkpad x1 carbon, I think I’ve found his new laptop! Great video btw!

Dave, the advantage of the TrackPoint (vs the TrackPad) is that when you are using the keyboard extensively (nerds, IT professionals, writers, etc are such people), then you do not need to reposition your hand for occasional pointing tasks. You can rest your palms on the palm support, and only move a few fingers to move the TrackPoint. That is the reason for the "unusual" position for the left and right buttons, too. Normally one operates the TrackPoint with their (usually right for the majority of right-handed people) index finger, while the buttons are operated by their thumbs. It is indeed very convenient once one gets used to it. The TrackPad is, however, more ergonomically located for extended mouse positioning scenarios, when one predominantly uses the mouse, and keyboard usage is minimal. Hope it helps. :-)

If there's one thing about Lenovo I really like it's their ThinkPads. They are great.

I thought this was going to be my next laptop until I saw that price tag...

[astrophysx]

I think that Thinkpads have better build quality and design over Apple's Macbooks. The design philosophy is quite different, Thinkpads are built for functionality and durability, so naturally they are made to be unassuming.Dave should have talked about the keyboard more, I hav

Thinkpads have always had the ctrl and function layout like that for over 20 years. I always thought that the way other laptops placed their function and control keys was weird.

The trackpoint is definitely an acquired skill, but it is amazing to use with the upper keys. The precision of the trackpoint is unmatched, I would take that over a good mouse.

Lastly, that keyboard is supreme. Better than ANY laptop keyboard, maybe with the exception of one of these mechanical gaming keyboards on a 20 pound desktop replacement.

Can you do a 2019 student laptops by price for the power

[ImprovingAbility]

All Apple engineers and CEOs looked away while this video was running (they gone shopping searching for more dongles).

[bmedina]

why cant we have gaming laptops built like this? It looks amazing

[aayushchandra]

His voice is so soothing. And the music.
Dave, plz make some therapeutic videos.

[mrrolandlawrence]

most of my tech friends are on lenovo after migrating from macs. i see this as another excellent reason to continue the trend.

[dmytroyanchuk]

That frames with Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell video that was released just 2 days ago. Neat!

[hamidmohammad]

I really like your videos. You’re minimalistic setup attracts people. You’re a great artist Dave

[CrisX]

Now this is a "Pro" laptop. Not like an Apple one...

[syedzaidahmed]

Hey Dave, can you remake the same video with new P1 Gen 6 newer model, and give your reviews regarding that model
