Lenovo's ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 is a mobile workstation built for heavy creator and engineering work, with a 24GB RTX PRO 5000, 192GB of RAM, 4TB of storage, and workstation software certification. The huge memory pool, four SODIMM slots, and Thunderbolt support make it stand out for video editing, VFX, local AI, and other on the go pro workflows. The main tradeoffs are the very high price after tax, the pen sold separately, and some spec choices that feel dated for the money, including DDR5 5600, a 120Hz 3.2K screen, and only one PCIe 5.0 NVMe slot. It reads like a niche powerhouse for specialized mobile work.

It is positioned as a mobile workstation for demanding creator and AI workflows, with RTX PRO 5000 24GB VRAM, 192GB RAM, and ISV certifications for software like AutoCAD and Photoshop. The 24GB VRAM can handle smaller local models, while the large system RAM helps with bigger workflows and offloading.
It has 192GB of DDR5 RAM and is described as having 4 SODIMM slots, which makes the memory capacity unusually large for a laptop. Storage is also expandable, with one PCIe 5.0 NVMe slot plus two PCIe 4.0 slots.
No pen is included, and the pen is sold separately. One comment also notes the pen can cost about $1,500, so it is a significant extra expense on top of the laptop price.
The machine is built around the RTX PRO 5000 with 24GB VRAM, but one concern raised is that some workloads may still fall back to the integrated GPU if dedicated-GPU support is limited. That would hurt performance at the 3.2K display resolution, so it is worth checking software compatibility before buying.

For 3000 plus a 3000 egpu setup you can get better or equivalent performance in all metrics.

1 ThinkPad or 89 Chromebooks?
Sure!
If you Like depreciating assets....
That even at $9K ( + tax) :
-DDR5 is ONLY 5600mhz (rather than higher speed, 8000+ mhz)
-ONLY has ONE 5.0 NVME slot
-Screen is ONLY 120Hz & barely 3.2K (when my older X1 is 4K Touch)
-ONLY has ICU 9 275HX cpu when the 300-Series are rolling out
-ONLY has 24 Processors & same number of Threads
*When AMD's offerings will blow it out of the water
**And ONLY 8 cores are P=Performance ones...
-And NO PEN is Included!!
To name a few.... drawbacks.
*A smart shopper would invest the 9K (or even just half) in some HY investments/stocks/etc.
Smart this.🤫
Stop baiting people into investments when you just pick the winners after the fact. Why don't you tell us what to invest today and personally guarantee it's performance.
It's easy to say I bought BTC at $100. Invest 9K in AAPL AMZN MSFT NVDA at IPO.
What about I invested 9K 40 years ago in Westinghouse, Sears, Blockbuster, Kodak. And I haven't even started with Enron, Bernie Madoff, FTX, Theranos etc.
Very smart.🤣🤣🤣
