Not long ago, we introduced the ThinkPad P15v. This mobile workstation can be selected as the 12th generation Core i9-12900H and NVIDIA T1200 professional graphics cards. The performance level may still not meet the requirements of some professional creators. If you like the Think brand, you might as well pay attention to the higher positioning ThinkPad P16 2022. The latter can be selected as the i9-12950HX and RTX A5500 professional graphics cards, and the price is as high as 49,599 yuan, which is comparable to an entry-level car!
ThinkPad P16 The whole of 2022 is the family's usual black body. It uses the new zinc alloy shaft and adds a new red line element at the rear air outlet. This contrasting color design adds a fashionable color to the firm body and is more visually recognizable. Unfortunately, the thickness of 30.23mm and the weight of 2.95kg affect the portable properties.

The product also supports the hardware-level management functions and hardware shield technology of the Intel vPro platform, helping small and medium-sized enterprises to effectively solve most computer problems encountered by employees in remote office, travel, customer site, etc., and greatly improve business reliability.
ThinkPad P16 2022 continues the cursor control made by TrackPoint Little Red Riding Hood and three-key combination. The classic keyboard supports backlighting and splash-proof, and the experience of inputting text is first-class.
This product is equipped with a 1080P full HD camera, optionally equipped with IR face recognition function, quickly and safely log in to the system. Users can also use press-type fingerprint recognition technology, press gently to unlock it immediately.
ThinkPad P16 2022 Depending on the configuration, there are three specifications on the screen (all of which are 16:10 golden display ratios). They are FHD+, namely 1920×1200 pixels, with 100% sRGB and 300nits brightness; 2.5K, namely 2560×1600 pixels, with brightness increased to 400nits.
has the highest end 4K, with a resolution of up to 3840×2400 pixels, with 100% Adobe RGB color gamut and 600nits high brightness, supports Dolby Vision, HDR400 certification and Pantone X-Rite color calibration, Delta E 2, with better display quality.

In terms of configuration, the processor equipped with ThinkPad P16 2022 is the 12th generation Core H55 platform, with i7-12800HX or i7-12950HX processors. They both have complete 8 large, 8 small, 6 cores and 24 threads, which are comparable to desktop processors in specifications. The CPU multi-core performance is invincible on the mobile side. However, in order to stuff more CPU cores, all the integrated core graphics of the Core H55 platform are downgraded to UHD32, and the 3D performance is average.
As a professional mobile workstation, ThinkPad P16 2022 can choose NVIDIA RTX A1000 (2048 CUDA units), A2000 (2560 CUDA units), A3000 (4096 CUDA units) or A5500 (7424 CUDA units) for this time. Their 3D performance is similar to that of the RTX 3050 series, RTX 3060 and RTX 3080 Ti respectively.
It should be noted that the CPU + GPU of ThinkPad P16 2022 has a maximum power consumption of 170W. Although it is not too low, the top gaming laptops on the market equipped with Core H55 processor and RTX 3080 Ti independent graphics can consume up to 240W~250W dual-bake power consumption. Therefore, from the absolute performance point of view, the top-end ThinkPad P16 2022 is still far inferior to the gaming laptops with the same configuration.
But the word "professional" of professional graphics cards is reflected in that they have all passed the ISV professional certification. Simply put, ISV professional certification is a unified product test completed by professional software developers, graphics card manufacturers and hardware manufacturers. The graphics card that has passed this certification performs better in professional applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Adobe After Effects. It can ensure more accurate processing of graphic content and empower more content creators.
ThinkPad P16 2022 has built-in 4 memory slots, which can be upgraded to up to 128GB of memory. The built-in two M.2 slots support up to 4GB capacity, which means that it can be upgraded to up to 8TB of storage space, and its expansion potential is very strong.

ThinkPad P16 2022 officially provides the following four configurations:
i7-12800HX + 16GB + 512GB + RTX A1000 + FHD+ screen, 16999 yuan;
i7-12800HX + 16GB + 1TB + RTX A3000 + 2.5K screen, 24599 yuan;
i7-12950HX + 32GB + 1TB + RTX A2000 + 4K screen, 28,599 yuan;
i7-12950HX + 64GB + 2TB + RTX A5500 + 4K screen, 49,599 yuan;
In general, ThinkPad P16 2022 should be considered the top mobile workstation at present, with a full-blooded 16 core 24 thread processor and RTX A series professional graphics card, which has enhanced the expansion capabilities and can easily meet the needs of professional creative workers such as graphic designers and 3D modelers. However, the price of ThinkPad P16 2022 is really not cheap. It starts at 16,999 yuan, and the top-end model can even buy a small car, which means it is completely insulated from ordinary consumers. If you are a gaming enthusiast, the relatively cheap savior Y9000K is more delicious. If you rely on a laptop to make money by making creative work, this product is worthy of a mobile workstation that can replace desktops to the maximum extent. You can consider purchasing it, after all, efficiency is money.
