Lenovo introduces stunning 16-inch ultraportable laptop, similar to Apple’s MacBook Pro, cooled by liquid metal – this ThinkPad weighs less than 2kg, has a huge user-replaceable battery and even features an RTX 4070 GPU
Lenovo has taken the wraps off its sleek, lightweight and powerful ThinkPad P1 Gen 7.
The new laptop supports up to a Core Ultra 9 185H CPU and users can choose between integrated Intel Arc graphics, Nvidia RTX 1000/2000/3000 Ada Generation GPUs or an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060/4070 GPU, making it capable of handling most AI processing needs .
The ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 is the first mobile workstation with LPDDR5x LPCAMM2 memory, with a capacity of up to 64 GB. It can accommodate 2 x PCIe 4×4 M.2 2280 SSDs for up to 8TB of storage.
The laptop is made of high-quality aluminum and comes with a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and narrow bezels that offer a 91.7% screen-to-body ratio. Lenovo offers a choice of three displays: FHD+ IPS, QHD+ IPS and UHD+ OLED Touch.
Connectivity comes in the form of Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3, and the laptop has 2 x Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1 x USB-C (10 Gbps), 1 x USB-A (5 Gbps), an SD Express 7.0 card reader, HDMI 2.1 and an audio jack.
The new device features a liquid metal thermal design (in select configurations) that Lenovo says improves cooling performance and long-term reliability, targeting critical workflows when complex tasks require maximum performance for extended periods.
Battery life is always important with laptops, and the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 has a customer-replaceable 90Wh unit.
“Lenovo’s latest ThinkPad P Series mobile workstations take a significant step forward by featuring advanced Intel Core Ultra processors equipped with a dedicated neural processing engine,” said Roger Chandler, Vice President and General Manager, Enthusiast PC and Workstation Segment, Intel.
“Designed to enhance AI PC capabilities on laptops, this technology also improves performance, energy efficiency and enables superior collaboration experiences, allowing users to be creative for longer periods of time without the need for constant charging.”
ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 will be available from June 2024, with prices starting at $2,619.
