Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 Unboxing and First Look

[@Mo.Jo.]

I have the same specs of this model but with 128GB Ram provided to me by my company - its truly a beast. And an absolute pain in the ass to carry with me if I have to go into the office.

[@nellatl]

That machine is beautiful in person. I have it.

[@confidentlocal8600]

Do you have the 4k or the FHD?

Hi! I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a P15 gen2 (i7-11800H, 4k, 16gb, 512gb, Nvidia T1200) for $1500 and would really appreciate if you could clarify some doubts for me... 1) How is the battery life for day-to-day tasks? Esp with the 4k display... 2) Any heating issues you encountered? Excessive fan? 3) Do you know how the T1200 compares to the RTX 3000 series that come in the T15g gen2 instead? Thank you so much in advance, appreciate any feedback

[@nellatl]

@@stantheman3674 what do you plan on doing with the machine?

Once Lenovo sort out their availability and get those Zen 3 ThinkPads I’ll be happy. Good review as always btw.

[@mini9503]

Seems like all the Zen 3 stock is going into ThinkBooks, Ideapads and Yoga Slims. Thinkpad does have a contract with Intel after all...

[@jmoralesv03]

I got the Lenovo ThinkPad T15g Gen 1, which is similar or from the same family as of P15, and they are awesome! Even though they are very expensive, I think it has the expandability and the power I need (web development and lots of virtual machines). I can see Lenovo improving these machines and it's great, I don't see a reason for upgrading for now. These machines will last years and years before thinking of replacing them.

[@silenthill1035]

I'm thinking about P15 Gen 2 as well with the lowest specs. I need to run 3 VMs which my 10 year old Intel i7 struggles with.

[@PaulusdeKenezy]

Okey, but Mac Pro is much better anyway.

The SIMCard tray you overlooked...That's used for cellular hotspot (depends on cellular provider offering the service).

[@soawn29]

I have thinkpad its awesome, you wont regret choosing lenovo thinkpad series after you try it

[@traveler7249]

So many "laptops" have become "fragile" jewelry. Reviewers have started talking about the case color, bezel size and "notches" before the CPU/GPU. -- These P series are "tools" not fashion accessories. It doesn't matter how pretty it is if it doesn't work.

Ordered P15v Gen 3 with i7-12800H, 64G DDR5, 2x 1T SSD with RAID, 4K Display, I chose almost all the upgrade options. Delivery time 2-3 weeks.

[@kaitlynracco1206]

how has the p15v been since you got it. also what do u think about the weight, is it extremely heavy?

[@fxck_us_imperialism]

@@kaitlynracco1206 For office work and sometimes travel with my car is no problem, if you travel with train, it is a bit too heavy. The processor is enough for daily work. I connet two 4k Monitors.

[@Simon-kz4dv]

It is 2022 now, I think P15 Gen2 is still a beast!! Trying to get one during labor day. I wonder what CPU do you have in your machine?

[@y.umamaheshwarikanna1319]

When will you review hp omen 15 ryzen5 rtx3060 model ?? BTW tnx for this video very informative 🙂

[@abdessamadbouaicha2033]

Hi, just curious. Which one has better performance the ThinkPad P15 (Xeon/64GB Ram/RTX A5000) or the new MacBook Pro (M1Max/10-core CPU, 32-core GPU/64GB unified memory)?

[@chrissnauder6079]

p15 better all around. Basically very very similar performance but overall p15 better

[@RetroDawn]

What is the keyboard travel? 1.8mm or 1.5mm or other? How does it compare to the P15s/P15v and the Gen 1 and/or earlier P5x models? Some reviewers have complained about the shallow travel and hollowness in the lower left area on the P15 Gen 1.

Dell's Precision line are great entry level business/enterprise class computers, but the P-series are the highest end and most overbuilt business workstations Lenovo makes.

[@RH-nc8uu]

And they are 1/3 to almost 1/2 off now

[@officialvisaural]

I remember when you could get a P50 for $1300. Now they’re 2.1x the price.

[@IVIick3000]

"I have one and it gets pretty loud for little processes and the fan keeps working full speed in sleep mode i sent the laptop in because i have a warranty and they changed the fan. But nothing changed most of the newer lenovo laptops seem to have this problem i think its rather a software problem than a hardware problem. 4 bios updates later it's still the same ofocourse you can put the laptop on battery efficiency mode i don't understand why the fans work so hard when the laptop is stil cold ."

[@Bantoon6]

[@genuine_legend]

can you charge this thing via the usb type c port?

Hi guys, i got a Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 with 32GB ram and 1TB SSD Intel i7-11800H 4.80 GHz, NVIDIA RTX A4000 ( 8gb vram ) for 1200$ it's worth it in 2024 or not ?

[@4kingmaster]

also i have the same, but when CPU is in aggressive mode it melting down my desk, what the fuck is that??????? How to resolve that with enabled aggressive mode ??????

[@andreysamuylik8047]

I am a bit disappointed with my ThinkPad X260. The keyboard is fine but the keys are too brittle! I had to replace it with another keyboard because a few of the keys just broke and fell off. And I am not a gamer.

[@Iamprince_44]

Hello, what graphics card does this have?

[@Ldbuix]

I am a proud user from P72 but the thermals + noise are not great! Can u say about this? In another review? How loud it is using 3d per example if possible?

[@jurig5579]

There is no vapor chamber, as result it pretty noisy even compared to P1 G4 slim model with vapor.
