ThinkPad P series
The ThinkPad P series line of laptops is produced by Lenovo and was introduced by the company as a successor to the previous ThinkPad W series. With 15" and 17" screens, the ThinkPad P series saw the reintroduction of physically large laptops into the ThinkPad line. Marketed largely as portable workstations., many P series laptops can be configured with high-end quad-core or hexa-core Intel processors as well as ECC memory and a discrete Nvidia Quadro GPU. The P series offers ISV certifications from software vendors such as Adobe and Autodesk for various CAD software. The P52 and P72 models are the last current Lenovo laptops with dedicated magnesium structural frames.
All 15" and 17" models have a modern 6-row ThinkPad Precision Keyboard, TrackPoint and trackpad, and optional fingerprint reader. The HQ processor-based models use only 170 W AC power adapters, or optional 230 W adapters with high-end 17" configurations.
