Thin at 0.96" and weighing 5.9 lb, the 15.6" ThinkPad P51 Mobile Workstation from Lenovo has been designed as a go-to PC for getting jobs done. It is powered by a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7-7820HQ Quad-Core processor which allows you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If you need more power, the system can be overclocked to 3.9 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. The 8GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently-used files and programs.
The 15.6" IPS display features a Full HD 1920 x 1080 screen resolution, an anti-glare finish, LED-backlighting, a 16:9 aspect ratio, a contrast ratio of 700:1, a brightness of 250 cd/m2, and viewing angles of 160°. The dedicated NVIDIA Quadro M1200M graphics card has 4GB of discrete GDDR5 RAM and delivers a sharp, clear picture. You'll also be able to output video to an external display at resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 using the system's Mini DisplayPort 1.2a, HDMI 1.4b, and Thunderbolt 3 ports, the latter of which supports DisplayPort 1.2.
For long-term storage of your files, this ThinkPad P51 is equipped with a 256GB Opal2 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD, which offers quick access to your data. If you'd like to expand your system's internal storage, there is one additional M.2 slot, which utilizes the PCIe 3.0 x4 bus to provide data transfer speeds of up to 32 Gb/s, as well as one 2.5" / 7mm SATA drive bay. While the SSD may not have the larger storage capacity of a traditional spinning hard drive, it contains no moving parts which helps it to be more resistant against bumps, drops, and other kinds of damage. SSDs also receive less wear and tear than traditional hard drives, as they don't have any read and write heads.
If you want to add external storage, optical drives, memory card readers, and more, the ThinkPad P51 offers one 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 port that also supports 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Type-C. There are also four 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one of which doubles as a charging port. Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11ac Wi-Fi are also built-in for wired and wireless networking, and Bluetooth 4.1 technology will also allow you to connect additional compatible peripherals. Memory cards may be accessed via a built-in SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC card reader that supports UHS-II flash media. Other integrated features include a 720p webcam, dual-array microphones, and stereo speakers with Dolby Home Theater audio.
The ThinkPad P51 Mobile Workstation includes a 170W AC adapter, a power cord, and a 6-cell / 90Wh lithium-polymer battery that lasts for up to 6.1 hours. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Professional (64-bit).
