Hi, thank you for the benchmark testing. I currently have the same P1 Gen 6 but with the i9 13900H and RTX4090 GPU. I tried to replicate the exact same benchmark test on cyberpunk, and I am getting FPS of around fifty. I have my bios default, I had to disable the keep cool while on lap since I was trying to get as much juice as I can from the battery, My NVidia settings are default, everything is default but still, I am way off the 130 fps you are reporting. What could be wrong?
Hi Luis,
I believe that I had DLSS on and that may have been the reason for the high framerate. I don't think I messed with the settings GeForce experience loaded onto my game by default. I will have to run another benchmark without DLSS and see what kind of performance I get.
@@B4YBTech I re-run the benchmark a couple more times to see if I could get a better FPS and I was able to reach your 130 mark only under Low graphic settings. I would definitely appreciate you rerunning your benchmark test once more and grab a screenshot of the final stats of the test to corroborate your exact settings. Since your P1 has an i7 and an 4080, there is a definite difference in hardware even though is not that much but I wouldn't be surprised a lower end CPU and GPU could get a better FPS. Thanks again.
I just picked up this laptop (same exact config in the video: 13800h rtx4080 QHD+), and am also unable to get 130fps in the Cyberpunk benchmark using the RT Ultra preset and DLSS set to performance. Honestly, I was pretty skeptical of that number in the first place. Even a full 175W 4080 gaming laptop shouldn't be able to hit that, at least not without frame gen. I get an average in the low 50s, which is still impressive IMO, and seems appropriate for 1600p and this gpu being limited to 80W + 25W boost. I get a similar result with the regular Ultra preset (no RT) and no resolution scaling. FWIW, I am able to get similar results in the Horizon: Zero Dawn and Time Spy benchmarks as seen in the video.
@@michaelbroll3133 bro i just ordered one, are we getting scammed?!
@@user-hl7pc7ud2w Uh no. Who would be scamming us? I'm genuinely impressed with this laptop at the price I paid, and this video was really helpful in my decision to get it.
Great information, thanks for uploading. The benchmark results were exactly what I was looking for. Cheers
Thanks Nick! I appreciate you for taking the time to watch the video.
great and timely review!!❤
Thanks for checking out the video and stay tuned when I drop the full review.
Nice review. Thank you! Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, a lot of my questions were answered
You’re welcome 👍
Thank you for your kind review
You’re welcome! Thanks for checking out the channel 🙏
Thanks for making these. I'm looking for a new work laptop and this seems perfect
Thanks for checking out the video Matthew! and yes I believe that you will enjoy it as much as I have for work all while offering great performance for the more intensive tasks.
Thanks for the video, really helped me make the decision to purchase. Keep up the good content.
Thank you! and I appreciate the feedback! Cheers!
@B4YBTech I'm 3 months in the P1 Gen 6 i7-13800H w 32GB RAM and RTX 4080 165hz. Loving it!
@@Bartman299 glad you are enjoying the laptop. I’m having a blast myself coming up on 6 months now of ownership I plan to give my final thoughts on it in my full review
Awesome video!!
Thanks Jake! I appreciate you watching this video.
I just ordered the oled version. Can't wait to check it out.
Okay. First impressions:
The laptop is thin and light - good for lugging around
The OLED is amazing - color accuracy is second to none and peak brightness is decent
The machine runs in the high 40c to mid 50c under light loads. Fan noise can be heard even when temps are idle.
The placement of the thermal intakes on the bottom of the laptop is a step in the wrong direction for lenovo. This coming from a P51 owner. I have to invest in a laptop stand to keep the intake path clear.
@@greekcs Does the OLED screen have active stylus support?
Thanks for the great video! Love that it supports USB-PD charging since the basic charger is a total brick. But what's the performance like when it's juicing up via USB? Hoping it doesn't wimp out too much on performance and gives us near-max performance with some amount of battery drain.
Hello, Excellent opinion. Can you please share the battery life performance with medium load. How many hour it could run on medium load such as web browsing. and video playing parallel.?
While I appreciate you’ve provided the internal thermals of the components, would you be able to provide external temps in a future video? Such as using a thermal camera or thermal gun to measure temps on different areas like the keyboard, palm rest, near the function row, on the base of the laptop, etc. Oh and maybe also a decibel rating for the fans when under full load? Thanks for such an informative video, and I can’t wait for more!
Yes! I plan on getting a thermal gun as the thermal cameras are a little too expensive for me right now. I will try to measure the noise made by the fans as well in my full review. I appreciate you for taking the time to watch my video and I hope you check out the review when it comes out.
Hey, nice review, I would like to know if there is any software to control the fans, like on the Legion laptop.
Thanks for checking out the video! Unfortunately we only have the “commercial” version of the Lenovo vantage app and it does not allow for us to change any of the fan settings/power as well. You can only select the Windows power plans.
Hi, thank you very much for the videos, very helpful.
I am currently thinking of buying the P1 Gen 6 also with RTX 4080, to use for 3D rendering with C4D and Redshift.
Could you maybe run the new Cinebench 2024 benchmark, which is also free and was just released.
If you could provide me the Scores for the Redshift GPU benchmark single run and CPU benchmark single run, that would be so helpful! (Maybe also in the balanced and performance profile, to see the difference with different wattage😅)
Thank you very much in advance!
Hey Fabian, I have the P1 Gen 6 with i9 and 4090 and this are my Cinebench results: Multi Core 16,752 & Single Core 1,851
Great video! It answered a lot of questions I had in mind. I've been trying to look for a laptop similar to my current x1 extreme gen 1 since they discontinued that line, and glad to find this P1 line that's pretty much the same as x1. Just one question, how's the fan noise on this P1 line? Does it only run when you do some heavy performance work like gaming or rendering/editing stuff? Thank you!
In the first whole year around 2019 when I got my x1, the fans has been started running regularly as long as the machine was on, like every few seconds the fan started to run for a while like 20-30 sec maybe and then off, then wait another few sec to repeat this, even when I didn't do/run anything. That was a total nightmare, though the problem was gone since after I updated to win 10 1909 and ran some script, somehow. Don't want to repeat that super frustrating nightmare ever again. But if the fan gets a bit crazy running a game or super professional software then I'm fine.
Thank you! When I am running the laptop on battery for normal tasks (web browsing, office, productivity tasks, discord, notion) I never hear the fans kick on and the temperatures are good, it gets warm at best. The fans only kick on during rendering videos, playing video games or any application that requires more from the CPU and GPU.
@@B4YBTech Great to know, thanks for the information! 😄
I'm upgrading to this from an X1 Extreme gen 2 myself. My X1 also had the fans running a lot from time to time, but that improved over the course of various updates. It's more of a Windows issue from what I've seen, since there are often background processes using up more CPU than they ought to, and I've been running Linux on it for a month or two now and it's dead silent 99% of the time. Everything works while in Linux, btw, even the GPU, the fingerprint reader and various games via Steam. Anyway my P1 with i9, 4090, and 64gb is coming in a few days, so I'll try to report back once I've tried it out.
@@j3pl thanks for sharing man. yeah I believe it was the win10 problem cuz the fan noise issue just like completely went away after I updated to version 1909, it was super frustrating before that though. Good luck with your new machine! I'm pretty much looking at the same specs, would be appreciated if you share the experience!
Hey, I'm holding a Fujitsu U94A (1370P version). I'm thinking of buying a mobile workstation like P1 gen 6 or HP Zbook studio G10 for Solidworks, CAD, and a little bit of video editing. So, any suggestions?
I personally haven't had the opportunity to use the HP Zbook studio G10, I would personally go for the P1 Gen 6 because of the I/O but also because Lenovo always has sales on their website. I personally wouldn't buy these laptops unless there was a deal as they are a little more than what I need personally. The P1 Gen 6 is my main video editing machine now and I have to say that I am really impressed with the performance, even while it's unplugged I am able to render my projects fast.
Many thanks!@@B4YBTech
@@xuefengyan2723 you’re welcome 👍
Do you recommend this laptop now? I will be using for VMs and light gaming from time to time on the side. I was more worried about the laptop running hot all the time or being loud when I'm just running VMs. Please let me know. Thanks!
Not really sure about running VMs as I haven't tried doing this. I will say that even though it runs hot from time to time these chips are designed to run at high temps and the cooling system is sufficient. I am not worried about any long term issues with the heat management for general use cases.
hi mate, I am considering my new workstation laptop. How do you think about the zbook studio g10, I prefer zbook over thinkpad p1 in term of build quality and the CPU,GPU temps.
Hi Tin! I personally never got my hands on the zbook studio, I will say though that they look really good, I did look at a few of them online at Microcenter but my issue is that the price for the configuations didn't make sense for me. Not sure if your market has better deals. I am curious to know the temps and performance on these zbooks.
Hi, which one did you get finally? I am walking around between P1 gen6 and studio G10.
@@xuefengyan2723 I am still waiting for the sale season at the end of the year. but I am using the zbook firefly ( my company laptop). Regarding zbook, it's so good, especial the metarial. the aluminium body but they cover a substance - they didn't tell what it really is but it's very soft touched, I think much better than thinkpad p serie, it easily gets dirt and fingerprint- magnet.
I have the same P1 Gen6 with 13700H, but with the RTX 2000 ADA Generation mobile GPU. This workstation GPU is new and there aren’t any reviews or benchmarks I could find for it, but it pleasantly surprised me; it’s quite capable in games and supports ray-tracing, DLSS as well as frame generation. Despite being a lower power GPU, it can still run Diablo 4 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 60 FPS using highest quality settings at 2560x1600 res (with DLSS on, set to Quality mode, and frame generation off)
That's awesome to hear that you are getting that kind of performance with the RTX 2000.
greetings how has the battery been treating you?
@@stevengarcia5210battery life is on the short side, with perhaps 3-4 hours depending on what I’m running, but everything else is fantastic. I do have the OLED 4K screen with the RTX 4090 GPU and I use the discrete GPU mode, which shortens battery life
@@stevengarcia5210 On average I am getting about 5-6 hours of battery life and will need a power adapter with me. I do keep the battery preservation setting on capping it to 80% So not the greatest but enough to get me through work then needing to plug it in.
@B4YBTech would the battery improve with the left powerful graphics card?
What stand are you using? Thanks
I have a stand that holds my camera, light, microphone and my laptop. Viozon Selfie Desktop Live Stand Set 6-in-1 10" LED Ring Light Microphone Mount Compatible with 12-17" laptop/17-32'' monitor/7-13 Tablet/3.5-6.7" Pho www.amazon.com/dp/B086W3L2XB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_ZZGeq3r8wp9Nr
I’m sure there’s a similar product that’s just the laptop stand if you don’t need the other things.
Can we have a long term update living with this day to day?
Yes I plan to do a long term review as I have been using it everyday as my daily computer and want to give you guys an update after 1 year of ownership.
Can you turn off 4080 and use integrated card for a better battery life? Also do you think we gonna be able to chage gpu tdp in a future on a higher level?
I turn off my 4090 on my P1 Gen 6 on the Nvidia control panel. The bios only allow the option for Hybrid and full time discrete. I am also enabling in bios Keep cool when using in lap since I figure it would cap performance in order to get more battery time.
I believe it automatically does this through nvidia optimus if I am not mistaken.
What keyboard is that in the background?
Love it’s Color scheme
Thanks! it's a keychron k8 pro with a custom keycap set I got from drop.com
@@B4YBTech thanks, ill check it out, love the aesthetics
Can the gpu boost to 100W if you disable CPU turbo boost ?
Only 80W
Would like to know how it compares with the Macbook Pro at similar price point ?
I can do a comparison with my M1 Pro MacBook 16 but it may not be an apples to apples comparison (no pun intended)
Comparing my 16" M2 MBP to a P1 gen6 with the IPS screen option here. MacBook Pro is heavier due to its solid aluminium chassis, has much better battery life, a mini-LED screen which looks punchier in HDR mode and the same level of performance whether you're on battery or mains power. The fans on the MBP remain almost inaudibly quiet, even under load, and it doesn't really ever get uncomforably warm to the touch even under sustained load.
P1 is lighter but still feels solid, has a better keyboard, much better GPU performance, but nowhere near as good battery life. Also, the fans are audible in performance mode when under load. The underside can get tangibly warm to the touch after sustained load, but this is a non-issue if you use it on a desk, as opposed to your lap.
Ultimately, they're both awesome laptops, sleek speed demons, and the one you choose depends on whether you value battery life and performance per watt over absolute performance regardless of power consumption, and whether you prefer macOS or Windows.
Does the I in thinkpad have a led? Kind of a deal breaker for me😅
On the outer lid it does have that red LED where the i is.
I'm thinking of just getting the RTX A1000 graphics card with this. I hardly ever game and just need it for some video editing.
would be great to have some cuda benchmarks like blender, as it is much slower 80watt version than other big 18" laptops with 150w gpu and mobility has it's sacrifice like up tp 30% lower performance
Would you be able to benchmark some games?
I’ll try to benchmark a few games in that I didn’t already test on this video for the full review
If I can get it under $4,000 with the rtx 4090 and I'm a video editor, would it be worth it?
If this is how you get paid for work then I’d say yes, but keep in mind that there are new Intel processors out there and newer ThinkPads and creator focused laptops coming out soon. Also with for the $3000-$4000 range you can pick up an M3 Pro/Max MacBook Pro and they are incredible machines for video editing. Lots of options but I’d say for this laptop there are good deals out now and possibly even cheaper sales for it because they might release a new version of the P1 later this year. If you can wait then I’d do that.
@@B4YBTech I don't do MacBook. I also do a lot of development in my free time and those applications work best on Windows. The Thinkpad Lenovo just quoted me on has these specs

Funny thing the new RTX 4090 Legion 9i only did 14 277 on the 3D Mark test
Thanks for the helpful video! Just ordered an i9/4090/64GB/OLED for creative/3d work. Has anybody out there tested the 4090 version? Just curious to see the performance with my 4K display or... the display quality if I decide to play a game at 2560 on my 4K OLED display. In any case I'm capped at 60Hz (if not using an external monitor), so... I think that at this frame rate I won't have any problem in maxing out everything at 4K too. But curious... Thanks
OLED would have been an awesome choice if it had 120hz support.
I understand but... consider I've been young... ahem... for more time than you (so "younger" in a certain sense ahah) and therefore I DO NOT play anymore COD against 100 jumping boys... I'd be fragged in a second. I do prefer more "quiet" adventures (Uncharted?) or XCOM2-like games (my fav), or COH... so I can be OK even with 60fps... Currently my PS5 is going at 60Hz on my 4K OLED TV and it's perfectly fine to me. Sure 120Hz would be better but... never really tried, MAYBE overkill for my usages. Only 120Hz OLED screen I have is... my iPhone 13 Pro (or IPS iPad Pro M2)... and it's perfect for quick scrolling but I do not use it for gaming@@B4YBTech
@@B4YBTech Asus X16 and Razer Blade 16 have mini-led displays with double mode. Hopefully the next generation (P1 gen7) will come with a mini-led display.
@@romanpesterev_me I hope so that would be a game changer.
It's good that workstations are now using high-refresh rate displays. It's bad workstations still seem to steer clear of AMD CPUs. It's also bad workstations cost so much.
I agree, I love that these workstations are using high refresh rate displays! I believe that Intel has exclusivity with Lenovo on the Thinkpad X1 Extreme and P1 series to sport their processors. I would have love to see an AMD Ryzen processor + Nvidia discrete graphics on these laptops.
@@B4YBTech Ah, okay, makes sense now. I love the new integrate rDNA2 GPUs the Ryzen chips have - they're awesome! I recently picked up a Legion 7 gen 7 (AMD edition), it was about a third of the price of a P1 gen 6, and does a great job as a Linux workstation. I ordered a P16 gen 1 AMD a couple of months back, but the order kept getting delayed, so I cancelled it after a couple of months. I'll wait for the P16 gen 2 AMD :)
Anyway, thanks for the review, very interesting.
plug/unplug cable review
If this had a numpad and a haptic trackpad with no buttons it would be the dream laptop
I agree with the haptic trackpad that would make this feel much better, but I personally prefer this keyboard layout, the numpad will offset the trackpad and won't be able to have upward facing speakers to flank the keyboard. I do believe that there are other ThinkPads that have the numpad layout though and that might be worth a look,
Also if the CPU didn’t thermal throttle at the slightest touch, it would be nice. Sadly the cooling solution isn’t good enough to prevent throttling in such a thin chassis. I love my P1 gen6, but this is my only gripe
@@little_fluffy_clouds I couldn’t agree more!
Dude - if I paid that much for a laptop, I'd wanna make sure I was 100% satisfied with it. These days, I find myself buying gamer laptops and use them as workstations 😉(poor man's workstations).
I will say, this laptop is dang near perfect. I think once the P1 Gen 7 hits with Intel Meteor Lake, hopefully the CPU side temps will have been tamed a decent bit.
I love this thing and I don’t regret pulling the trigger. Looking forward to the next generation
I'm in the market for a 16inch workstation that doesn't pack in Intel's overheating garbage.
