Top Comments
- The screen is nice and everything appears vibrant and clear as you'd expect. There's a built in color tool application you can use to select a color profile (I just use P3)
- Performance is good and has never given me issues, even when compiling lots of code at once. Since it's a work machine I don't game on it, but I understand the 780m is pretty capable for light gaming.
- Form factor is nice and portable, even in the larger size I have. Easy to carry around.
- Battery life is so-so. The OLED screen is a power hog. I get probably 5-6 hours on battery with mild to moderate use, not sure how that translates to this smaller size and battery.
- Keyboard is great as you'd expect.
- Trackpad is as good as you'll get from plastic. Glass is still nicer, but it's not like this one gives me problems. It also has a TrackPoint for fans of it.
- The fans are a bit undersized, so they get noisy under heavy loads. I don't tend to hear them much under mild to moderate loads, but plugged in on performance mode and pushing it, you'll definitely hear them.
- The chassis is decent, though I have some creaking on the left side. It's not severe and mostly noticeable when lifting or moving it, but it's there.
- Driver & BIOS updates from Lenovo are always timely
Overall, good machine if it fits your needs.

As the Doc stated, it has been cheaper (back in DEC 2024 and once in JAN 2025).
The point of my comment is that people can get a non thinkpad for less if they aren't using this for work. And with better battery life. Mine only lasts 4-5 hrs. Which is fine because I can plug in between meetings.
I can get 6-7 hours of battery life if I really crank down the brightness on the OLED. Though honestly, I think I'd be just as happy with the IPS screen that uses much less power some of my coworkers have with the same processor but 32GB of RAM. They get 8-10 hours of battery life without fiddling much with screen brightness.

LP just means 'low power'. LPDDR can be SODIMM or soldered.
This goes all the way back to DDR3L, where the L was for low-power DIMM/SO-DIMM.
For the $849 option, however, I do not see the P16 price history going that low on the gen 2 anywhere.
I guess if you were looking for these exact specs then it would be hard to find. But most people don't need all the ports or a 120 hz screen or 64 GB of memory. Personally would rather have longer battery life.
FWIW I think it's a great deal if you need all that.
Anyways I'm gonna stop debating. You make good points and I agree with them.
