The Lenovo 15.6" ThinkPad P50 Mobile Workstation is a notebook that is suited for CAD and design workflows while you are on the road. It comes packed with an Intel Core i7-6820HQ processor along with a dedicated NVIDIA Quadro M2000M graphics card, which outputs 3840 x 2160 visuals to the 15.6" screen. To handle multiple applications at the same time, 16GB of DDR4 RAM is installed. There's also a 256GB SATA-based SSD that enables the notebook to boot up nearly instantaneously and provides quick access to your data.
The 15.6" display is equipped an IPS panel that offers a 178° viewing angle as well as accurate colors. Lenovo has designed this screen with a brightness level of 300 cd/m2, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a color gamut of 100%. Moreover, an X-Rite color calibration sensor is built into the palm rest to ensure the colors stay true. You can also expand the on-screen workspace by connecting your external monitors to the notebook's HDMI and mini DisplayPort.
The P50 lets you access networks wired or wirelessly with a Gigabit Ethernet port along with an 802.11ac Wi-Fi module. Bluetooth 4.1 technology is also supported in the module that lets the workstation wirelessly connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices. Four USB 3.0 ports are offered to connect with printers, digital cameras, and other devices. Additionally, one of these USB ports allows you to charge a USB battery-powered smartphone or tablet. For a faster connection, Thunderbolt 3 technology is included so you can access high-resolution displays and data devices simultaneously through a compact and reversible Type-C port.
Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) is preinstalled on the drive and provided via Microsoft's downgrade rights, which includes a license for Windows 10 Professional. You may uninstall the current operating system to install Windows 10 Pro. For security, an integrated touch-style fingerprint reader is located on the palm rest so you can gain access to the system without typing passwords. Other notable features include an Expresscard 34 slot, a 4-in-1 card reader, a dual-array microphone, a combo audio jack, a 720p webcam, and two speakers.
Lenovo has designed the touchpad to be larger than the previous version. It comes with improved usability and wear-resistance as well as three buttons for professional workstation applications that require added functionality.
