This is my 3rd Thinkpad and my 2nd Thinkpad workstation. I use it for music production, mobile DJing, and livestreams and it's perfect. It handles 2-3 additional displays (needed to manage livestreams), and supports real-time stems. The screen is very bright and crystal clear - and shows up so nicely in outdoor venues. This is much better than a Mac (even the M3) as it supports higher storage requirements and allows 2 internal drives. I have a total of 5TBs of drive space.

Strong laptop with strong hardware, but it seems certain parts are not compatible, for example, there are issues with compatibility between internal (CPU) graphic card and NVDA graphic card. Given that I bought this laptop because I wanted to connect 3 or 4 external monitors to my laptop, the fact that it cannot even handle 3 monitors properly is very disappointing

A bit heavier and thicker than I expected, but I am pleased so far with the graphics and quiet cooling fans. I haven't had an opportunity to use any processor intensive programs yet but am sure it will perform well. My prior two Lenovo Thinkpads lasted 7 years and 5 years respectively- these are well built machines which I why I keep coming back. Customer service could be a bit better as I did have issues with delayed shipping (no notification until I reached out), then could not have the shipping modified to have held at a UPS location until return from a work trip- I was told a friend or neighbor could sign for the package instead

The laptop performance is satisfactory but it is very heavy in terms of weight

Lenovo 16 inch workstation I recently purchased works well. I often run huge data files, with multiple tasks conducted at the same time. Previously model from other company, similar to this, crushed oftentimes, but this one has been doing very well.

The ThinkPad P16 16" Mobile Workstation is built like a tank but not so heavy that you could not take it with you for travel, but if you're going to take your laptop away from the desktop frequently you would be better served with a lighter version of the ThinkPad. I have a smaller ThinkPad X1 with a 14" screen to use for travel or mobility. Be sure to compare weight and proportions of the various models of a similar screen size to get the product that best fits your needs. The screen quality is very good. The keyboard has a good layout and feel. I appreciate the mouse with separate right and left click buttons. It was easy to set up with no glitches. Processor speed is good. This is our family's 4th ThinkPad. All are still functioning well. All of us like our ThinkPads. In addition, I have had excellent experience with two other ThinkPads provided by my employer for use in my workplace. In comparison to HP and Dell products I have used, the Thinkpad is as good or better. My sense is that this ThinkPad will do what I want which is to function well, be durable, and light enough I can occasionally use it away from the desktop. Kudos to Lenovo for another excellent product.

From an IT Supervisor for an Automotive Manufacturing. 4/5, quite buggy but if you have time to fiddle with then they're powerhouses. Crazy that they made workstations without onboard nic adapter. Incredibly fast machines for our engineers to solve problems quickly.

I recently purchased the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 Intel (16") Mobile Workstation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with its performance and build quality. As someone who runs a digital agency, I needed a machine that could handle intensive tasks like video editing, web design, and managing multiple clients simultaneously. This workstation delivers flawlessly. The 4K display is stunning, offering crisp visuals and accurate colors, which is essential for my design work. The Intel i7 processor combined with 64GB of RAM ensures smooth multitasking, even when working with heavy software and large files. The build quality is top-notch, typical of the ThinkPad line, with a sturdy and professional design. Battery life is impressive for such a powerful machine, and the keyboard is comfortable for long work sessions. I also appreciate the variety of ports available, making it easy to connect all my peripherals. Overall, the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 is an exceptional choice for professionals who need reliability, power, and versatility. Highly recommend it!

So far so good. The ThinkPad P16 is 4th or 5th Lenovo and it does not disappoint. It is very responsive and does everything I need it to do.

I am an IT person and order PCs for my clients and since 2022 I have been having an enormous amount of issues right out of the box. Lenovo just pussyfoots around and will only repair it rather than send out just a replacement. These are new machines that do not work properly. So I had to stop purchasing from Lenovo due to the continued issues that are not fixed. I will not continue to spend thousands of dollars on a device that is non-working out of the box.

Looking for a new workstation laptop to replace my aging ThinkPad W541. This P16 Gen 2 fit the bill and has been blazing fast since I upgraded. Key travel is a bit less than my W541 but still sufficient. The Thunderbolt Workstation Dock has also made peripherals very easy to set up. This machine easily handles the ML models I throw at it in Rstudio and Jupyter Lab. picked this up for my graduate program and I continue to be impressed. The 16:10 screen is very useful for code and documentation reading alike. Highly recommend if you need power and performance on the go. Only wish they still made it in classic ThinkPad Black.

My initial P16 laptop had multiple problems requiring that I return it for a replacement. The replacement unit worked flawlessly. I'm VERY satisfied with the unit so far. It has a solid build, is noticeably faster, works well with the docking station, and I like that it can be upgraded on the user end. The P16 is large, heavy, and solid. It is truly a desktop replacement and a heavy duty workstation.

Purchased to shrink down the 10 + year old home-kitchen computer when Lenovo had a sale. So far everything appears to be working well. The portable workstation is very snappy.

So far, it's doing everything I wanted. I wish it could charge from a thunderbolt or other USB-C port rather than only from the brick, especially when plugged into the docking station, but that's not the end of the world. Battery life isn't amazing, but if starting from a full charge, it should be enough to get through a domestic airline flight, so that'll do.

It's a good tank. Haven't put the full specs to the test by any means, but so far everything is smooth and works well. I wish battery life were a bit better but I didn't buy this laptop with that as a priority.

Not a bad laptop, here's a list of things which are regrettably missing and hopefully Lenovo is listening: - Ethernet socket - 2x more USB type-A ports It's a large laptop, there's no reason to not have added. Keybord layout can be improved as well by removing the numeric keypad (located on right side), and thus increasing the size of the buttons. -albertr

Laptop is a nice form factor and still has a number pad. Fast and modern, I am liking this laptop so far. Good Desktop replacement along with the docking station.
