Nice review. IMHO this with 64GB RAM, 2x2TB SSD and maybe that 800nits optional display should give a fine machine for software development, data analysis and virtual machines. Love the fact that it has a numeric keypad. 😊

Thank you very much for the review - you seem to be one of the very first people to do so on KZitem with the P16v. Some questions though: at first you say there's a noticeable difference with the new 1.5 mm key travel, then afterwards that it's incredibly pleasant to type on. I've been considering buying this laptop for a while now and key travel is the only thing that worries me slightly.. I had been using an old E530 with 2.2 or 2.3 mm travel for years, then got an X1 Yoga gen II a while ago, which should be 1.8 mm and felt weird initially, but I quite like it now. With 1.5 mm, I am still unsure whether to trust that I will get used to it or I will hate it for the rest of my life.. Additionally, you mentioned the dual-fan cooling does a good job of keeping things well-aired. And at the end of the video, you say that the fan noise is bad even with the i5 processor and iGPU.. if I were to buy a P16v, it'd be with an i7 at least and the RTX 2000 Ada dGPU. So can you please clarify these things for me, please..

The keyboard is going to be personal preference. Personally I've used ThinkPads for years and the P16v is still an excellent keyboard to type on. Nicely spaced out, tactile keys. Any mobile workstation will make some form of fan noise as that is why it is used for. Is it enough to be a distraction? No, in my opinion.

I just bought a P16V running I9. The fan noice is noticible. I adjust the performance to Power efficiency and it reduce the noise a little bit. But if you run some hardcore programs or multiple tasking, the fan will start running and making the noise (super loud)

@@Dovecomputers Any evidence of throttling? I wonder if the cooling is really good enough for the power hungry HS version instead of the cooler U version (almost identical CPUs, running at different voltages). Thx! I also really do care if the fan is running much for light work... Would be great to know. Thx!

I just purchased one of these to replace my old t430, and I specced it out, I was a bit worried about the robustness of the chassis. Hadn't realised it did not come with built in gigabit adapter, will need to get a dongle for this when I'm working on various networks. It has a option for a smart card reader, but this was not offered at my spec setpoint.

hey, I was recommended this laptop due to its lower configuration options potentially making it overall "far less noisy" cp. w the P16 model. Since the chassis looks so similar and it comes w/o vapor chamber, would you support that judgement? (that it is more silent than the p16 gen 2?)

Hi, thanks for the review! How can it be that the 800 nits display option is rated for "HDR400" (according to the Lenovo homepage)? Is it dimming down to half brightness automatically when watching HDR videos?
@Dovecomputers

Purely to guarantee minimum 400 nits for the HDR400 certification. More for marketing purposes. Not sure that it dims down as it just needs to meet the min. requirements of 400 cd/m2.

The P16v is a powerhouse. The review unit Dove got was an i5, but the lowest they offer now is i7. We got an i9 13900H with 64GB of ram and the RTX 2000 ADA. This uses a 170w power adaptor (Their lowest i7 model uses 130w), which exceeds the 100w limit of USB C cables. USB C 2.1 standard just pushed through last year, allowing 240 watts, but cables are just now getting certified, so it makes sense that this isn't USB C. They probably could have made a 100w mode that limited the power usage of the laptop to allow USB C though, that would have been nice, but having two USB C ports instead of one being taken by a charger has been a blessing in disguise. As USB C 2.1 becomes tried and true, I'm sure we'll see more implementations of it, they'll probably try it in other models first since they usually only push what they know works well to Thinkpads.

@igor_g yea not sure why they didn't allow it to charge at 100w, but there are adaptors to go from USB C to the square connector, albeit at 100w. It's definitely an odd decision, but not a deciding factor for us since it is essentially replacing a desktop.

@@dogbytemarketing"Their lowest i7 model uses 130w" I hope i get this one. Someone has to haul this monster from work to home and back and i suspect it's supposed to be me. Asked for a x16 or something small, but they ordered this for someone else that in the end didn't work for us, so i have to use it. The one with the A1000 graphics card. Anyway, it's possible it actually does loading per USB-C, but only if powered off. I can load up my old trusty T480s with a RaspberryPi USB-C power supply, if it's off and i have the time ;-).
