Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Review - An Awesome Laptop!

[@InfinityLabsTech]

Big bug with green flashes. Never happens on the first export, but I'll watch the video back, fix some stuff, re-export and I'll only notice it the next day when I re-watch the video right before publishing. Website is fully finished and tested, but one of the pages shows some of my dev work and I want to have a couple really good projects to show on day 1 since most people won't be checking back regularly. Everything will be open sourced as well so I also need to make sure the code is readable and maintainable.

[@zizhongliu5391]

How would you compare ThinkPad P1 and ThinkPad X1 Extreme?

[@5after12]

This is a top tier review. New sub. I have watched about a hundred ThinkPad videos trying to figure out the various models and this did the best of explaining Xenon to me.

[@jonf9989]

The best tech reviewer! i hate those reviewer who show their face too much not the product! keep it up man!

Another huge thing for me on the keyboard is that it is one of the few laptops which still has dedicated page up and page down keys.

It's interesting you say the trackpad has a soft touch finish that feels like silicone since according to the spec sheet for this model the trackpad is supposed to be GLASS.

Quadros slay in engineering CAD work. They’re able to perform at a precision that GeForce cards can’t.

[@davidmeisinger5511]

Can you elaborate? I'm pretty sure Quadros use the same GPUs and have basically the same processing power as GeForce counterparts, what makes them geared towards professional use is the much higher VRAM and the power connectors moved to the back of the card rather than the side. I don't think that means GeForce cards are less precise.

[@fwng69420]

@@davidmeisinger5511 from what i understand nvidia kind of kneecaps their geforce gpus with drivers that arent suited for CAD and other professional applications.

[@carlosgallegos1265]

@@davidmeisinger5511 Specific software optimization and certification for Quadro cars make them a lot more expensive and also a lot more capable in certain professional use cases (sometimes with the lower tiers outperforming 2080's)

[@asok2siam911]

@@davidmeisinger5511 Quadro RTX4000 crushes RTX2080 in 3D rendering. Not even close. It's day and night. Quadro is not optimized for gaming so most people don't have any idea just by looking at benchmark numbers. It's like comparing a Porsche(RTX2080) to a fire truck (Quadro). Porsche for speed. Fire truck for getting work done.

[@davidmeisinger5511]

@@asok2siam911 you do realize that's not how that works, right? 3D rendering is faster because of the much higher available VRAM. Quadros all use GeForce equivalent GPU dies and in terms of just raw compute power, they're the same. This "not optimized for gaming" thing is just not true. Benchmarks usually benchmark performance, not gaming performance, just so you know. You can't just ignore factual data.

[@ShredST]

7:58 That is not really correct. Practically speaking, pretty much every x86 processor has some sort of SIMD instructions for >64 bit operations. AVX-512 is the newest of these instructions and has largest width. There's also AVX-256, AVX-128, and the older SSE instructions which are very common.

[@MrRefael33]

Are you going to try ThinkPad's laptops Linux edition with Fedora?

[@60beats44]

Thank you for the upload. Apart from operating systems and if you had to decide between this and the MacBook Pro 16, which one would you choose?

[@InfinityLabsTech]

I think it would come down to performance (bit better thermals, Radeon 5600M is faster, and manual can control), speakers, battery and trackpad on the MacBook Pro, and keyboard, upgradability, port selection for convenience, and the screen (assuming 1080p HDR) for the ThinkPad

[@firozshaik7647]

Infinity Labs you mean macbook is better?

[@firozshaik7647]

Any suggestions from you? I am confused too...

[@TheFrontyer]

@@firozshaik7647 Thinkpads are better. But it depends on configurations. Get Thinkpad if you dont need to use OSX, if you need to use osx then get a mac.

[@marc-andreservant201]

AVX-512 is a massive throughout boost, but: - Pretty much only MATLAB / deep learning will benefit - It causes your CPU to hit its power limit pretty much instantly, so it's not much faster after all - It's possible to bypass the soft power limits by overclocking on K chips, so you can get the most out of it. Unfortunately, overclocking and scientific computing are pretty much mutually exclusive

[@InfinityLabsTech]

Didn't know about the second point. I mostly looked at the programming and performance part of it, but I guess I'll have to consider other factors before implementing it into my libraries. Thanks!

I disagree. It would be awesome if it came with AMD Ryzen PRO 4750U with ECC memory instead Intel nonsense. I don't believe a PRO version (required for ECC memory support) similar to 4900HS was ever announced, but if something like PRO 4950HS existed, that would be even better.

[@willapanews9761]

AMD does not support ecc memory.

[@catsspat]

​@@willapanews9761 Are you talking about notebook parts in general? If so, the same goes for Intel, except for Mobile Xeon. AMD doesn't have a counterpart mobile part, which is exactly what I was complaining about. Are you saying AMD as a whole doesn't support ECC? Have you ever heard of EPYC? Also, some AM4 boards support ECC just fine with Ryzen CPU (non-APU) and *PRO* versions of Ryzen APU. I know, because I have had one ECC error on my only 24H/365D system using PRO APU in 2.5 years.

[@alphabeta01]

Lenovo is bad and poor quality.I purchased a LENOVO Thinkpad just about an year ago. However, the laptop just started crumbling around the hinge area. Bad construct and casing. Raised this with Lenovo and they refused to get this fixed and claim this is just out of warranty. Even when I am willing to pay, they now claim they have no parts. Bunch of crap and extremely poor service. Unfortunately, the laptop works fine, just that it cannot be closed or opened as the entire casing is just crumbling. I recommend that you talk about quality and service records as well so your subscribers can be warned. Thanks

[@drwuro]

it's funny, i've heard lots of things about thinkpads, but i'd never have thought that anybody would be appaled by the logo. i'd think even if you don't particularly like it, you can just ignore it. but interesting to hear that this is putting some people off...

It’s really funny because as one who has used thinkpad all my life, the logo and the design is so familiar and comfortable to me. No matter what laptops I marvel at (such as the XPS 15 and 17 recently), when I see the classic black and the logo I know it’s a friend, loyal and reliable. I might well be getting another thinkpad this year or next, despite all the goodies on the market at the moment...
