My job provides me with a P15 Gen 2, beast of a thing. I love it, except for the odd day when I have to go to the office, and I have to pack this damned thing in my motorcycle backpack, haha.
All that power needs to go somewhere. 😎
That case is brilliant!! I love that idea.
It is pretty slick.
What a beast of a machine! Typically, well crafted, video.
Thanks Ted! Glad you enjoyed it!
wow that outer shell disassembly is super. The older Thinkpad workstations were horrible to open up.
great presentation my brother keep up the good work now ive seen why we should buy thinkpads especially the P series are thinkpad beast laptops, coz of gpu removable module which can be upgraded as well , now lenovo should also make an option of un soldered CPU for upgradesi think lenovo is the bleeding age laptops than all those other companies and gaming laptops, very soon thinkpads are gonna be sloted with 2 slots of GPU & 2 slots of CPU and the external battery plus builtin battery should be roped in on all P series
Soldering the CPU is actually a decision by Intel and AMD more than Lenovo. That's why every modern laptop has it for better or for worse. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
I was considering a brand new P16v but I ended up going with a used T14 G1, one of these days I will own a new thinkpad.
It was years before I owned a "new" ThinkPad and that is one of the best parts about them is whether it is new or new to you, they are great machines.
@LaptopRetrospective I've converted my entire family to thinkpads over the last few years, there is just something else about the black squares with trackpoints.
Good work!
Wow. Thanks for this.
My pleasure. This machine will be featured in one more video in the weeks ahead. ;-)
Can't have a socketed cpu, but sockectable gpu is fine.....crazy world
Interesting to see how things change and continue to change.
Thanks for the post love Old school laptops 💻😁😁
It isn't too old school, at least not yet. :-)
@@LaptopRetrospective 😁😀😊
I have a similar thinkpad t15g gen 2. It has an rtx 3070 q max.
Nice!
Thank you for the review. I bought a P51s last year, and it came with a low spec graphics card. I would like to know the ambient sound/noise level of idle and at max power. Mine is pretty loud and throttling when it gets close to the temp limit and eventually hangs up. Curious about thermal efficiency of this newer workstation-ish laptop.
Check out the short I released at the same time as the video. If you can't find it I'll try to link it later
@@LaptopRetrospective Oh there it is. The woosh is quieter than my P51s! Thanks.
Good to know!
The GPU's really on a module, now?! I may have to change to this from my P50 in the future. The GPU's little BGA solder balls giving out has always been a subconscious fear, when using Nvidia-equipped laptops.
Yep, separate board.👍
I just upgraded my laptop from a surface laptop 2 to this machine. I hope this one just runs smoothly.
I'd expect better. :-D
@@LaptopRetrospective I do indeed. I am running some heavy-duty bioinformatic analysis that sometimes take days to complete.This is why I bought 8gb gpu version with 64gb ram and 2400ghz i9 cpu. Surface laptop sometimes lags even when typing. I just wanted to buy something that makes my life easier under $1000. I have high expectations but I am also a bit scary in regards to what to get. I hope it is not a faulty product or something like that because the price was really low.
Keep us posted.
I've been asking this all over the place. Do these later thinkpads have the absolutely terrible trackpoint latancy? I've gotten rid of a x13 yoga gen 1 a t14 gen 1 and a t480s because the trackpoints are completely unusable in linux, they're slightly better on windows but still straining to use. They feel laggy, jittery, inaccurate; like you can physically see they're not smooth. My x230's trackpoint feels amazing on linux, like 1-1 response. If you don't see what I mean go back and try an x220/x230 it feels 10x better
Might seem silly to ask but are you replacing the TrackPoint cap at least once a year? It is a consumable item and as it wears it will change the performance of the strain gauge.
is 10th gen intel cpu still capable enough?
Very capable.
2:20 isn't it 100,000 to 1 contrast ratio and not 1 million?
Yes, I misspoke. Some OLED displays are and I probably assumed it was as well reading that many zeros too quickly. Thanks for pointing that out.
The P15 & P17 series (G1, G2) should be considered what "the last great ThinkPad" means, in my opinion.
I have an article I'm writing on that phrase. I need to get around to finishing it.😂
@@LaptopRetrospective Have you considered using that P15 Gen 1 as your main laptop? I believe it'll provide such a satisfying experience for everyday use.
It's passing through to another owner. I also don't need that level of power for a main laptop right now.
@azurexdave04 you are very wrong, dude
the last great thinkpad is P53 (or at least anything within P5x series)
does P15 & P17 have hdd light indicator and physical mousepad button?
@@eone199 You really think that the P53 is better than the P15 because of the HDD indicator and physical mouse buttons??? First of all, if you don't use an HDD, that indicator is useless. Secondly, a physical left and right button is fine but a middle one??? I don't see any use of this.
7:10 hardware raid is beyond pointless.
I wouldn't call it pointless. It just might not be applicable in all situations but those buying these units wanted it.
@@LaptopRetrospective software raid has completely superseded hardware raid. Level1Techs had a good video about it called "Hardware Raid is Dead".
I'm from thinkpad fan into new thinkpad top 1 hater. Thinkpad keep strying to copy macbook.
you should not bring this stupid thinkpad into your video
this P15 is a cursed, stupid thinkpad workstation design, which kickstarted the downfall of P series laptops..whoever engineer designed this stupid machine does not know the thinkpad heritage line at all
starting from this stupid thinkpad, all led indicators and physical mousepad buttons are removed from P series laptops with no reason at all, not to mention the removal of hdd tray which is very useful to store hdd drive for god sake
Guess we will have to disagree. The LED indicators and mouse buttons must not have been wanted by the clients that buy these devices anymore. Supporting HDD is also kinda pointless in newer machines.
