Lenovo 16" ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 Notebook (Black) Review
Live prices and creator coverage for the Lenovo 16" ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 Notebook (Black) - everything in one place.
Our editorial take on the Lenovo 16" ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 Notebook (Black)
The Lenovo 16" ThinkPad P1 Gen 5 Notebook is positioned as a flexible workstation laptop, offering dedicated NVIDIA RTX A1000 graphics and an Intel Core i7-12700H processor. The 16GB of DDR5 RAM paired with a 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD provides a foundation for demanding tasks. Its 16-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS display offers a 16:10 aspect ratio and 100% sRGB color gamut, which is suitable for general content creation.
Connectivity options include two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and Wi-Fi 6E. The laptop also integrates security features such as a dedicated TPM chip and a fingerprint reader. While designed for robust performance, the display's 60 Hz refresh rate and 300 nits brightness are standard for a professional workstation and may not cater to users requiring higher refresh rates or brighter screens for specific creative workflows.
Its 1.81 kg (3.99 lb) weight makes it relatively portable for a 16-inch workstation. The inclusion of a 90 Wh battery capacity may also appeal to users needing extended operation away from a power source.

- 300 nits display brightness may be insufficient for bright environments or HDR content
- Only 512GB of total storage installed, which may be limiting for large projects
- No Ethernet port, requiring an adapter for wired network connections
