Lenovo ThinkPad P16v Gen 2 in-depth review

Lenovo describes the ThinkPad P16v Gen 2 as a workstation meant for "high-end workloads". Its hardware is enough capable for video editing or content creation. The device relies on 28W Meteor Lake-H CPUs with an NPU unit for AI tasks and NVIDIA RTX Ada Generation graphics cards. That's not an ultra-light machine and that's why the upgradability is adequate and the port selection is good, especially if you get all the optional extras such as a Nano-SIM card slot and a Smart card reader.When it comes to displays, there are four 60Hz IPS variants - three 1200p units (one of them is a touchscreen) and the top dog has a resolution of 3840x2400p. The manufacturer claims that the latter has full DCI-P3 coverage. Since our machine is equipped with the same panel, we can hint that this is true.[...]

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
