Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 – Top 5 Pros and Cons

The P1 mobile workstation from Lenovo is one of the thinnest laptops with a good amount of power and quality features that you can get your hands on.

It comes with very potent hardware, our model featuring a Core i7-12700H and an RTX A1000 Studio-grade graphics card. Combine that with a tall 16:10 display and a sizeable battery, you’ve got a device that can do professional work undisturbed, regardless of if you’re plugged into a wall or not.

Today we present you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 5.

Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 5: Full Specs / In-depth Review


4 reasons to BUY the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 5

1. Upgradeability

Starting off, you want to keep your laptop performing well, and some of that comes down to introducing more resources, like RAM and storage. For that reason, the P1 offers two SODIMM slots for DDR5 memory and two M.2 slots for Gen 4 SSDs. The SSD slots also have RAID support.

Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows how to access both the RAM and SSD slots.


2. Battery life

With a 90Wh battery pack, we see the ThinkPad deliver 14 hours and 48 minutes of Web browsing, or 10 hours and 36 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.


3. Display quality

There are three display options, which you can see in our full review. We tested the FHD+ IPS panel which comes with excellent viewing angles and a peak brightness of 346 nits. The contrast ratio is very high at 1800:1. It covers 92% of the sRGB gamut, which is enough for most types of web-based color work.

The color accuracy is fantastic as well, once we apply our Design and Gaming profile, lowering the dE value to 1.3. Here are the results of our test, with both the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

Kontorsarbete

Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar den mesta tiden med att titta på textstycken, tabeller eller bara surfa. Den här profilen syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och klarhet genom att behålla en platt gammakurva (2,20), ursprunglig färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.

Design och spel

Den här profilen riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, även för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpaneler till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminerar skadlig pulsbreddsmodulering (PWM) och minskar negativt blått ljus som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskas kraftigt.

1 reason NOT to buy the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 5

1. The Price

Currently, on Lenovo’s website, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 is listed at a price of $2,174.42. Considering that this is for the base variant with a Core i7-12700H and the RTX A1000, we feel like you’re really paying more than what you’re actually getting, purely in terms of performance. Then again, if you also value the upgradeability, populated I/O, and battery, while also having the cache to spend, there’s nothing wrong in going for the ThinkPad P1.
