Lenovo has chosen IFA to unveil significant upgrades to its most powerful and durable laptop lineup, headlined by the ThinkPad P16 Gen 3. This workstation-class machine starts at $3,339 and represents the pinnacle of the company’s performance offerings. It features the latest Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors and supports Nvidia RTX Pro GPUs, along with configurations reaching up to 192GB of DDR5 RAM and 12TB of PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage. A 16-inch 3.2K OLED touchscreen is available for those prioritizing display quality. Despite its substantial build, measuring over an inch thick and starting at 5.6 pounds, the P16 Gen 3 includes practical advantages like a user-replaceable battery and dual Thunderbolt 5 ports.
For professionals seeking high performance in a more portable form factor, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 offers a compelling alternative. It also runs on Core Ultra 200 H series processors but scales graphics options down to the RTX Pro 2000 tier. Still, it retains two Thunderbolt 5 ports and the optional 16-inch OLED display. The real appeal lies in its sleeker design, weighing just 4 pounds and measuring 0.8 inches thick, all while starting at a more accessible $2,819.
While the P series targets professional workloads like 3D rendering, the Legion Pro 7 stands out as the most powerful gaming laptop in the announcement. Slightly thinner than the P16 at 1.05 inches but weighing 6 pounds, it starts at $2,399 and can be equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9955HX3D and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080. This hardware is more than capable of driving demanding AAA titles on its 16-inch 240Hz OLED screen. For gamers wanting larger displays, Lenovo also introduced three new gaming OLED monitors: the Pro 27Q-10 ($699.99), Pro 27UD-10 ($999.99), and Pro 32UD-10 ($1,099.99).
