The Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen 3 (AMD) is available now with a starting price of $1,499.
Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen 3 (AMD): Full Specs
Design
As with other ThinkPads, the P15v Gen 3 uses plastic for its entire chassis. For the price, a lot of competitors are delivering metal, however, we know that the laptop will be as tough if not tougher than them, as we’ve seen Lenovo do it over and over again. In terms of looks, nothing has changed, as the brand has a uniform design language that speaks for itself. In terms of dimensions, the machine comes in at just 2.26 kg and has a profile of 22.7 mm.
Display
The display selection offers three options. The base model comes with a Full HD IPS panel with 300 nits of brightness, and a contrast ratio of 800:1, but it only covers around half of the sRGB coverage. If you want something better, look for the other Full HD IPS panel with the same brightness but a higher contrast ratio of 1200:1 and 100% sRGB coverage. Lastly, we have a 4K UHD IPS screen with 600 nits of brightness, which will shine brighter than the sun, a 1400:1 contrast ratio, and 100% AdobeRGB coverage. It also comes with DisplayHDR400, Dolby Vision, X-Rite calibration, and Pantone color validation.
Specifications and features
In terms of hardware, you get two AMD Ryzen 6000H Pro-series chips. There’s the Ryzen 5 Pro 6650H and the Ryzen 7 Pro 6850H, with either 6 or 8 cores, and double the number of threads. AMD’s 6000, and 5000-series chips for that regard, have been incredibly efficient while bringing a great amount of power. For graphics, you rely on the integrated Radeon 660M and 680M, as well as two NVIDIA T-series Pro-grade GPUs, the NVIDIA T600 and the T1200. Both GPUs use the Turing architecture of the RTX 2000-series, so if you want something newer, you can switch to an RTX A2000, which has the newer Ampere tech.
The laptop comes with good upgradeability, thanks to two SODIMM slots and two SSD slots, which fit DDR5 memory and Gen 4 SSDs, respectively. There’s also a 68Wh battery inside, which isn’t that big, however, with these Ryzen CPUs, we think Lenovo will have found a way to make it work.
Lastly, for I/O, you have two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports, one USB4 Type-C port, an HDMI 2.0 port, an SD card reader, an Ethernet port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. You can configure the laptop with a SmartCard reader, which can be used for further security. Speaking of security, there are several another layers, including a fingerprint reader, and an IR face recognition sensor next to the HD Webcam.
