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.

Also amd laptop offerings are pretty garbage.
Only options are their desktop zen chips which have awful idle power draw or the strix point stuff which is nice but just worse
How did they even pack 192GB of RAM . wow
Anyone want to guess how much runtime it'll get with its 99WHr battery?

These are definitely niche products, but those of us working in those niches have uses for these seemingly wacky computers. I'm actually chilling in the woods with one of my monster laptops and a battery bank, enjoying the freedom from a desk in an office while running both local training and local inference on some serious AI/ML models.
Believe it or not, this isn't even the wackiest "mobile server" laptop in production today. Check out the water-cooled Tongfang designs, or the most expensive HIDEvolution models. Being able to load models with 30B+ parameters and offload MoE experts into the massive amount of system RAM means that I can have advanced AI/ML capabilities without paying for tokens from a subscription service, and without an Internet connection, plus total control over the models.
