I'm a thinkpad user and I love these machines but sometimes is hard to justify how expensive they are.

[fdflhjsedison]

Wow this is the laptop I'm looking for someone to review. And I'm not too surprised you made it because you have reviewed so much quality high-end laptops. This channel deserves more subscribers!

What a great all-around package for a workstation machine. That screen quality in particular I would love to see from more manufacturers like Dellienware.

I got the P1 today! Amazing! Thanks for the help 👍👍

I recently picked up a second-hand ThinkPad z13 (the all AMD Ryzen 7 with the 680M GPU) and for grins and giggles installed Bazzite (think SteamOS-like, but tweaked). I have been pleasantly surprised by things like VRR on the built-in display and pretty decent gaming performance for what I paid—$550. While Bazzite isn’t without its issues, the machine is pretty great for both a quick game session (basically a Steam Deck with a larger screen) and productivity in the Fedora GNOME desktop. The machine is giving me a whole new respect for the already legendary ThinkPad line!

This was a fantastic video! I decided to buy the 4090 version. Lenovo is having a killer deal right now.

This is such a neat and understated design! Feels like the windows contemporary of a MacBook Air

Beautiful laptop and great review as always. It's mighty expensive, but it's definitely a great machine in a thin and light form factor.

One of the best looking windows laptops... saw it at MicroCenter the other day and fell in love at first sight.

Honestly the reason I have stayed loyal to Thinkpad is the red dot and the durability. Hope this one doesn’t disappoint.

Thanks for the heads up on cooling vs. 2nd SSD. Did not realize the RTX 4060 substitutes vapor chamber cooling for a 2nd SSD slot. BUT I just returned an XPS 15 9530 because the keyboard gets too hot. I was tempted by the RTX 2000 with a 2nd SSD slot but no vapor chamber cooling and a warm keyboard is a deal killer for me. BTW, Lenovo gave me $500 off (on top of the Black Friday coupon) after I chatted with a rep. Sweet!

Ther removable ssd alone makes this a better buy over any of the Macbook pros.

love lenovo. they just keep on trucking for years.

[GaryJohnWalker]

Thanks - I have a previous gen X1 Extreme and wonderful tho it is, it does overheat. RTX3080 which I only got because the bundle Lenovo was offering was (relatively!) very cheap. Anyway, biggest benefit ofd this vid was showing the back removal which I had never tried, and is very easy. So, done that, dusted the interior. Here's hoping that improves the heat issue.

[anthonybowyer]

A great laptop review, from one of the best Tech channels on Youtube.😃

[GreenStorm]

Which software do you use to show the wattage of CPU and GPU? I'd like to find out how drastic the difference between the power profiles is on my X1 Extreme Gen 2

[AaronGayah-drlu]

I have the P1 Gen 4 - similar issues with the quality of the keyboard and touchpad. The fingerprint issue is quite annoying, especially if you’re someone else who likes a clean unit. For the price, this is an issue that should not exist.

The fan does kick in rather loud sometimes, so I got a laptop cooler to help the situation.

The performance is exceptional. Graphics are fluid, sound is wonderful, speed is blazing fast. Overall, it’s a good unit. No plans to switch brands for a long time to come.

0:07 ugh that panel gap is unacceptable

[roberttucker]

I love my P1 gen 6, what a great machine.

[meal_team_six]

May have missed it, but did you test the color accuracy and color gamut of the display?
