Post by: Redaktion on September 05, 2025, 21:38:15
We had the opportunity to get a hands on with the newest 2025 ThinkPad P series, including the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 and P16 Gen 3. One of the key changes for the new workstations: The move to all USB-C charging and Gallium Nitride (GaN chargers).

So many errors and typos in one article.

Thanks for these photos! Sad to see that the P1 is, somehow, getting uglier and uglier with each new generation 😑

Those vents on the base and around the screen look worryingly small no wonder it is limited to 180W

Yeah, true. The predecessor has grills across half the bottom cover: https://www.notebookcheck.com/fileadmin/Notebooks/Lenovo/ThinkPad_P16_G2_RTX_2000_ADA/DSC_0010.JPG (https://www.notebookcheck.com/fileadmin/Notebooks/Lenovo/ThinkPad_P16_G2_RTX_2000_ADA/DSC_0010.JPG)

And the P16 G3 is almost like the X1 Carbon: https://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/Notebooks/Lenovo/ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_Gen_13_Aura_Edition/thinkpad_X1Carbon_G13_bottom.JPG (https://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/Notebooks/Lenovo/ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_Gen_13_Aura_Edition/thinkpad_X1Carbon_G13_bottom.JPG)
