Title: Lenovo ThinkPad P17 G2 Laptop Review: Massive workstation with internal upgrades
Post by: Redaktion on October 05, 2021, 11:25:08
Lenovo's P-series ThinkPads fall in line with the traditional ThinkPads. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, the display borders around the 16:9 display could have been slightly narrower. However, the Lenovo workstation shines where it matters, offering excellent performance and expandability.

Why Notebookchekc says high performance? The 11800 do not reach 14000 points in Cinebench R23 multi and specially the GPU is very weak,
Only 4Gb memory in a 2500 euro laptop when for example a render engine like Redshift requires at least 8Gb.

Overall I like ThinkPad looks, but its long overdue with those giant bezels from 2000s.

So do I. I wonder if those bezels aren't coming along the Milspec sturdiness? Are the visually more pleasing models like X1 still as tough as these?

Regarding performance - not defending it, but perhaps the performance here stands for ability to sustain it for long periods of time (=not throttle), even when combined with high GPU load?

I like the classic timeless design of the P17 Gen2 as a true ThinkPad workstation. The bezels don't bother me, it doesn't need to be fancy for its purpose. If one wants something fancy, get a Mac! ;)

Thinkpads are literally one of the fanciest, most expensive laptops in the whole market. They are known as the "suit" of laptops for a good reason.
