Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 in-depth review

The ThinkPad P1 is definitely one of the most interesting laptops you can get from this brand. It has a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and an alleged X-Rite Factory color calibration.In addition to that, it comes with beastly hardware, which maxes out with the Core i9-12900H, and the RTX A5500. This is a professional GPU, which not only has a ton of raw power, but also 16GB of ECC VRAM. Can't get more "Pro" than that!All of this is placed inside the typical industrial-looking, no-nonsense chassis we're all used to. We don't know if it's for the better, but what we can say even before we started the tests is that the laptop is definitely looking fit.But hey, there is a lot to talk about, and we have just started, so let's focus on what eyes see first - the packaging.[...]
