What's going on guys? It is Bernardo and you just saw a quick unboxing on the Lenovo ThinkPad p 15
Generation two mobile workstation so what comes inside the box, we have
your ThinkPad p 15 Generation two setup guide. You have your safety and information pamphlet.
You have your heavy gauge power cable. And you also have your power adapter which is about 230
watts. So I'm going to take the power cable and plug it into the power adapter, awesome cool.
That will all the stuff to the side. And last but not least we have the beautiful Lenovo ThinkPad p
15 Generation two mobile workstation weighing around six point 50 pounds with a thickness
of one point 27 inches. Now this guy to me is a monster with a lot of ports and features.
So if you have the laptop to the point that you are able to open it up like this, on your right
hand side we have one SD card reader and then one 3.2 USB port on your left hand side we have a
combo audio jack a nano SIM card slot one 3.2 USB always on charging a HDMI port. On the backhand
side we have one RJ 45 port or Ethernet port power port two type C thunderbolt ports. And then one
type C USB port. Alright so we just went over some of the ports and features on the P 15 Generation
two. So let's open this guy up real slow. Awesome. Look at that beautiful 15.6 OLED display which we
will go over pretty soon. But let's power this guy on so the power button is actually
located right here. So let's press it. Awesome. Alright, so the P 15 gen two is up and running.
Right now they got the eye going to the left and right because it's looking for my face you
are able to log into this machine using Windows Hello, which is an awesome feature. The ThinkPad
p 15. Also has a fingerprint scanner which that's the way I'm going to log in right now.
So let's go right ahead. Awesome. Okay, so let's start with a trackpad on the P 15.
gen two the trackpad. If you want to know the measurement of the trackpad it
is around three point 96 inches. That's about one quarter one nickel one penny in two dimes.
When I was using the trackpad, I didn't have a lot of issues. It just worked. It was nice. You
do have the signature ThinkPad track point in the middle to kind of maneuver the mouse if you
want. That's up to you. Most of the time when I was using and testing out the laptop for you
guys. I kind of plugged in a USB mouse and I was using it that way. That's the way I like to work
with laptops but the trackpad and the track point is there for you to take advantage of. Alright,
so let's talk about the full keyboard layout on the P 15 gen two it does have the number pad right
here on your right hand side. When I was using the keyboard, I did not have any issues at all.
It just worked which was great. You know ThinkPad keyboards. For me I just love the way that a
response is quick. No issues on that. Now if you want to know the distance between each key,
it's normally between zero point 11 To Zero Point 12 inches. Now this keyboard is backlit white.
It's pretty bright if you're using it at night, which is a great thing at the top of the keyboard
you're going to get your speakers this is where the speakers are located. And the highest that I
got on these speakers was around 96.7 decibels then we have the beautiful 15.6 Ultra HD OLED
touchscreen display. Yes, it is touchscreen. I'm not a huge fan with touchscreen monitors but
it is there with a resolution of 3840 by 2160. Now the default scaling for this display was around
250%. I do recommend to lower it down between 225 to 200. I think the right now I have it to 225
and it looks good now for nits this displays 400 for the brightness. I think this is the highest
right now for the brightness and this is the lowest and let's go back up this is the highest
refresh rate for the display is only 60 hertz the machine does support HDR Windows HD which
is great. Make sure that you have the power adapter plugged in. So you're able to turn
on the HDR feature and then you're able to take advantage of the OLED when you're watching HDR
content. At the very top of the 15.6 inch display. We have a 720p webcam. And with that 720p webcam
it does come with a Privacy Guard, which I kind of find it super easy to slide it to
the left and right to open it and close it. Some of these privacy guards are sometimes too stiff.
So you got to really dig in there to open it up but for this one I find it super easy to open
it and close it with no problem. Alright, so we just went over the trackpad, the keyboard and 15.6
inch display on the P 15 gen two mobile workstation. So let's talk about some
of the specifications now on the desktop. I'm going to right click on the taskbar.
Let's go into Task Manager and within Task Manager I'm going to click on more detail.
Let's open up this window. Let's go inside performance. I'm going to right click on the
CPU graph and then go to change to logical processor. Now this machine is running 11th
gen intel core i9 11950 H processor with a clock speed of two point 60 gigahertz, one socket eight
cores 16 logical processors which is awesome. Now for memory it is housing only 32 gigs.
I think the max that you could get is around 128 gigs now for storage. It comes with one terabyte
solid state drive and it also comes with two graphics cards. The first one is the Intel Ultra
HD graphics card which is part of the processor and it is also housing a Nvidia RTX a 5000
graphics card with 16 gigs of memory. Now with the specifications I was able to do so much with
the specifications I was able to edit 4k video without creating proxies within Adobe Premiere,
I was able to edit audio within audition as well as make modifications within Camtasia studios
and I was also able to run multiple programs at the same time without having any delay. Now for
gaming on this machine I definitely wanted to take advantage of the NVIDIA RTX a 5000 graphics card
and playing Black Ops as well as Street Fighter was awesome, especially on the OLED display. The
color and the images pop out from the display. It was just it was beautiful. I loved it. Now for
heating. This machine definitely gets hot around this area right here and around the monitor.
It does have vents on your right hand left hand and on the backhand side as well as the
bottom side there's a lot of vents to try to keep it nice and cool. But I did notice that
it was getting hot around this area as well as the display. Alright, so we just went over some of the
specifications on the P15 from Lenovo. And this guy is a beast. So let's talk about the battery.
Now for the battery. I ran PC Mark 10 and I ran the test three times and the first one was modern
office battery life. It took around three hours and 45 minutes on my second test. I ran pure video
and it lasts around six hours and 23 And last but not least without the power supply.
I ran gaming and only last about an hour and seven minutes. Now I do recommend having this laptop
plugged in if you are gaming because you want to take full advantage of that RTX graphics card
and you need that extra juice. Now laptops are great without power because you know you don't
want to be plugged in all the time with a laptop. If you're using it for surfing, going online,
purchasing stuff, open up a Word document Excel. This machine is going to last between I would say
three, four and a half hours. They're all depends on how you use it. Again, this is a program that's
constantly running in the background until the battery flushes out and he dies at around 10 to
5%. So if you tweak the settings and you are able to kind of push it a little bit more but it all
depends on how you use it. Now due to the graphics card. This machine has two modes it has discrete
or hybrid that you're able to do a Windows + I and within Windows + I go to updates and security
and within updates and security just go to recovery and you want to boot inside the
Advanced Setup and get into the BIOS to configure it. Now the discrete and hybrid allows you to
basically just use RTX card only hybrid will allow you to use the Intel and the graphics card.
And from my understanding if you do hybrid, sometimes the battery life is longer rather
than just going discrete. I didn't really notice a big change with discrete or hybrid, but for the P
15. It is automatically set up to do hybrid but you are able to get inside bios and change it.
Alright, so let's conclude our unboxing slash review on the P 15. So this machine is beast.
Retail price for this machine is around $1,600 and the highest is around $1,800. But it all depends
on how you get it configured at the Lenovo site. If you want more memory, bigger hard drive space
and the graphics card and it also comes in different flavors on the display. Now for
this machine I reviewed the 15.6 Ultra HD OLED display but you could also get the full HD model
but again, it's really up to how you configure it at the Lenovo site it's going to cost a little bit
more money. I do recommend having a second hard drive purchasing a second hard drive for this
machine. Because on the second hard drive, you're able to install all your programs as well as your
gaming files into that second hard drive. Now the machine is able to support multiple monitors you
do have that HDMI port as well as that two type C Thunderbolt four ports just take advantage of it.
Overall performance. It was amazing. I was able to run all my programs at the same time.
I'm super excited because this machine has a great graphics card. So stay tuned because I'm
going to configure this machine to do a little bit of cryptocurrency mining for me. I want to
see how big the hash rate is going to be on this particular computer with this graphics card and
overall hopefully guys enjoyed this review and I'll catch you guys on the next one. Peace out
