Lenovo ThinkPad P51 Review

 

When you need a notebook with high-end graphics performance for 3D modeling, video editing, animation or engineering applications, you want a mobile workstation. Lenovo’s 15.6-inch ThinkPad P51 can handle all of those demanding tasks and more thanks to gaudy components such as an optional Intel Xeon processor, an Nvidia Quadro M2200 GPU and a vibrant 4K display. Starting at $1,340 ($2,807 as tested), this chunky laptop doesn’t come cheap, but if you require lots of extra oomph for your workload, it’s worth every penny.

The ThinkPad P51 isn’t exactly the lightest laptop on the block, and, at 5.82 pounds and 1.02 inches thick, it’s significantly bulkier than the Precision 5520 (4.4 pounds, 0.7 inches thick), Apple MacBook Pro (4 pounds, 0.61 inches thick) and HP ZBook 15 G4 (5.13 pounds, 1 inch thick). However, Lenovo also makes the slimmer ThinkPad P51s, which weighs just 4.3 pounds and is only 0.79 inches thick, but that laptop doesn’t have a Xeon processor or Nvidia Quadro M2200 graphics.
