What's going on guys it is Bernardo and you just saw a quick unboxing on Lenovo's ThinkPad P 17
generation one workstation laptop. So what comes inside the box. So let's start here we have our
safety and warranty guide. We have our ThinkPad P 17 generation one setup guide.
Pretty awesome. We have a heavy gauge power cable, and we have our 230 watt
power adapter. So I'm actually going to take the power cable right now, hook it up, power adapter.
Awesome. Let's put all this stuff to the side, and then we have the beautiful Lenovo ThinkPad
P 17 generation one workstation now this guy actually weighs around seven point 75 pounds with
a thickness of one point 28 inches. Now for ports and features there are a lot of ports and features
on the right hand side you have one SD card reader, you have two 3.2 USB ports on the left
hand side you have your audio combo jack, you have a nano sim tray and that's optional. It really
depends on how you set it up on the Lenovo site, you have one 3.2 USB, always on charging port,
and last but not least you have your HDMI port. Now on the backhand side you have a RJ45 one
type C port two type C port Thunderbolt three which actually supports external monitors. And
then last but not least your power port. Alright so we're going to open up the P 17 generation one
workstation from Lenovo we're going to power it on. We're going to look at the some of the specs
on this particular machine, how the performance was when I was using it, and let's get into that.
Alright so we just went over some of the ports and features on the ThinkPad P 17 generation one
workstation from Lenovo, so let's open this guy up and turn it on. So let's open this guy up.
Beautiful display. Alright so to power it on the power button is actually located right here.
I'm gonna turn it on. Awesome. All right to login you have multiple ways to login on the
P 17 You actually have a fingerprint scanner right here, and you're also able to hook it
up with Windows Hello, I'm actually going to log in with my fingerprint, so boom and you're
done. Awesome. Okay, so on the P 17 gen one, let's talk about the trackpad now the trackpad.
It's pretty decent I didn't have any issues using it. The majority of the time I just basically
hooked up a USB mouse and just use that. But, like the response on the trackpad, it just works.
I didn't have any issues at all now if you want to know the measurement if you take one quarter one
nickel, one penny and two dimes, that's actually going to measure around three point 98 inches,
so it's, it has a nice, nice size for you to do what you need to do on this particular trackpad.
Now for the keyboard and the P 17 It is a full keyboard layout which gives you the number pad
on your right hand side which is awesome, using this particular keyboard, I did not
have any issues at all. Now the key distance between each key is around zero point 12 inches,
and it is backlit with a couple of settings, so that works great with no problem. Now the speaker
system on the P 17 is actually located at the very top of the keyboard. It's pretty loud I think the
loudest that I got was around 93.6 decibels which is not that bad. Now for the display,
we are rocking a 17.3 inch IPS anti glare display on the P 17, it's non touch, which is a huge plus
for me I don't like laptops, with touchscreen. Now the resolution of the P 17 is around 3840 by 2160,
the brightness level right now I think this is the highest right now on the brightness,
and this is the lowest. If you guys want to know the nit number is around 500. Now
this machine does have HDR but the HDR is basically when you're streaming HDR video
online so that option is there, the refresh rate for this machine is around 60. for scaling by
default it is set to 250%, which is the default, I felt like the best scaling for this particular
machine was around 200% At the very top of the 17.3 display, you have a 720 webcam,
and the webcam actually has a Privacy Guard, which is super simple to actually open and close,
so I didn't have any issues with that, which is pretty good. Again, this machine you are able to
configure Windows Hello, you could just slide this guy to your right to open it and then you're able
to log in with your face and you know and close it back up and then you're good to go. Alright
so we just went over the trackpad, the keyboard, the webcam, and the beautiful 17.3 inch display
that the P 17 Generation One ThinkPad has. Okay, so let's talk about the specifications now
I was super happy with the specifications that Lenovo sent me if I right click on the taskbar,
and let's go inside task manager within Task Manager I'm going to click on more detail.
Let's go to performance. Let's open this guy up a little bit. Let's right click on the CPU change
the graph to logical processors. Now this guy has one socket, eight cores 16 logical processors,
and it's running an Intel Xeon w 10, eight, eight, five, M processor with a clock speed
of two point 40 gigahertz now from memory this machine actually came with 32 gigs,
which is enough for everything that I needed to do, I am able to bump it up even more. I did
have, like, you know VM workstation dealing with a bunch of virtual machines, but if you
know 32 gigs is enough for my day to day stuff. Now, for hard drive space it only came with one
512 gigabyte solid state drive, which is good for me and for the graphics card,
it came with an NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000. Now this machine with this particular graphics
card when gaming and doing video editing, it just worked with no problem. I was able to actually
edit 4k within premiere without creating any proxies, it was just amazing. I was able to
use DaVinci doing my coloring because of the display and everything it just worked with no
problem. I love this machine. It's really heavy. So it's one of those
things that you actually have to set up and you have to just forget it,
but that's okay. Now for heating, I noticed that it is a lot of heating around this area
right here. There's a lot of vents for the P 17 There's a vent on your right hand side
and left hand side as well at the bottom to keep it nice and cool. But when I measured the heating,
it was always around this area right here and it's between got 98 to 102 degrees so it does get hot,
I did not notice any fan noise, probably I just didn't pick it up but for me when I was testing
out this machine I just didn't get any fan noise with it at all. Now for every laptop that I like
to review for you guys, I like to run PCmark 10 And as always, I like to run three tests
or maybe four, and on the first test, I ran the modern office battery life, PC Mark 10 What it
does is just constantly running multiple programs like Excel, PowerPoint, going online, surfing and
playing music until the battery completely runs out, and the machine shuts down. Now, when I ran
the office battery life in last around one hour and 47 minutes on my second test, I actually ran
video, battery life, and I was super surprised that it last and an additional hour, total of two
hours and 14 minutes which is super crazy. And then last but not least, I had to try it out, I
did some gaming, and it only took around 15 minutes only on gaming. So you definitely have
to plug this guy up. If you are gaming with that graphics card is just not going to be powerful
you need that extra power for the graphics card to perform the way that you want it to perform
on this machine. Alright so let's conclude our review on the P 17 generation one workstation from
Lenovo. Now I forgot to tell you guys that this machine you are able to go inside the firmware
within the BIOS setting and configure it to either go discrete or hybrid. By default it is set to
discrete. And the only reason that I'm telling you guys that this option is available on this
machine is that sometimes when you change it to a hybrid a lot of people have stated that it will
kind of give you a better performance on the battery, but within my testing with other laptops
that had that setting, I didn't really see a big difference. Now this machine again does have a lot
of ports and features you are able to hook up an HDMI monitor as well as a type C monitor as well.
Unfortunately I did not have a monitor with a Type C cable, I had to use a Type C to HDMI
adapter to actually use those two ports behind a P 17 which worked with no problem. Now the starting
retail price for this machine is around $1300 But it really depends on how you configure it.
I think the highest is around $2200 And it all depends on the memory the hard drive space,
and the graphics card that you pick on this machine, again, on the Lenovo site you are able to
configure the display I think there's two flavors, you've got the 4k model as well as the 1080P model
now for the size it is a monster, it is a beast, I don't really see myself traveling with this
machine, a lot. If I do travel with it, it's most likely I'm going to set it up at the hotel room,
plug it in powered on and just leave it be. now the P 17 is super easy to upgrade its parts Lenovo
made it super easy for everyone. If you close the lid and just flip it, there is a compartment
with one screw just unscrew it, open it up, and then you're going to see your, Your DIMM
slots as well as an additional slot to insert a solid state drive, which is awesome, and that's
it guys hopefully you guys enjoyed this review on the P 17 I had a lot of fun actually testing
this guy for you guys right now the battery's extremely going down, I think I have what,
almost 67% Again, you really have to plug this guy in to actually take advantage of the power because
the battery kind of runs out real quick and I'm not really doing a lot on this machine with you
guys and it's already now 67% That's crazy. And I'll catch you guys on the next one. Peace out.
