日本Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen 3 review – a mobile workstation with an impressive display
Mobile workstations are usually very expensive pieces of hardware. They need to be reliable, cool, and certified to work with professional software. Oftentimes, this particular certification makes the laptop cost more
In the case of the Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen 3, we have only pro-grade graphics cards. This includes the NVIDIA T600, T1200, and the RTX A2000. They all have a TGP of 35W and come with 4GB of GDDR6 RAM. However, the last model comes with ray-tracing support, which makes it the best choice by far.
In terms of hardware, you should be all set, since even the “low-tier” model comes with a Core i5-12500H, while the maxed-out variant features the Core i9-12900H. As you can tell, this is a 12th Gen CPU, rather than the newly announced 13th Gen, so this might be a bit of a bummer.
But let’s be honest, Lenovo has created this laptop for professionals, that don’t want to destroy their budgets with their laptop purchase. However, if you want to go all out, then, the 4K IPS panel would be the best choice. It has HDR400, and optional Pantone Factory color calibration support.

What’s in the box?
This device comes in very lean packaging. You only get the mandatory paperwork, as well as a 135W charger.
It is to be expected as Gen 2 was already running hot on Tiger Lake-H.
The AMD variant of the P15v Gen3 runs cooler than the Intel Gen 3 variant. However, the cooling solution will be taxed if both CPU & discrete graphics are utilised heavily.
