Only got it 2 days ago so still working through getting everything loaded and using it, but so far beats the Dell that died on me by a whole lot!! Was disappointed in shipping time - took longer than I was told originally.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The P53s are fantastic, but not perfect. The Lenovo P53s surprised me positively by its dimensions. I expected a more robust and heavy machine, but on the contrary, its size is adequate and the weight is in line with what it offers. It even seemed light. One however is in charge of limiting HDMI ports. I use 3 monitors, so I bought an adapter for USB3 to HDMI, however when I try to use the adapter the HDMI port stops working. So I have to use the VGA adapter that comes with an HDMI and I don't use the HDMI port on the P53s which, in my case, was left unused.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb quality My wife bought this computer for me as an upgrade to a bottom-shelf economy brand that had more than run its course. Needless to say, it’s a big step up. Booting is instantaneous, the display is bright and colorful, and it’s so nice to finally have a full keyboard with such a pleasant feel. The exterior appears professional and high-end, but the laptop is lightweight and not bulky at all. I’m so pleased I can’t list everything I like about it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly what I was looking for in a new laptop Similar feel, computing power and sturdiness to my old W-540 with some serious improvements in certain components (such as the touch pad with buttons and a slimmer, lighter model for easy transportation. The battery life is also fantastic by comparison. Not cheap, but it suits my needs very well, and it is not easy to find another computer comparable to this in size/weight as well as overall quality. I have not had it for long yet, but based on past experience with Lenovo I expect a long lifetime and plenty of opportunity to enjoy the good qualities of my new P53s.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's The Keypad! There's a lot one could say about the Think Pad P 53 s (15) Mobile Workstation--it's versatility, it's speed, it's silence. But, for my money, the feature that grabbed my attention immediately--and continues to grab it each time I begin typing--is the keyboard. I'm a two-finger typist, but, even for someone like me, the keyboard is effortless, instantly so. The keys have a wonderful feel and spring to them, and my palms rest easily and comfortably behind them, so that my fingers have easy accessed to the whole keyboard. I should also add a word about Lenovo sales and customer service--and that word is terrific. Great purchase, highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I highly recommend Lenovo Thinkpad P53s. I bought the Lenovo P53s Thinkpad, customized with an I7 processor, high def 15.5 inch IPS display (3840 x 2160), 16GB memory, 512GB SSD with Windows 10 PRO. I've only had it up and running for 1 week so far, but I am very pleased. Set up and initial startup went very smoothly, and the machine performs very well as expected. It boots up in virtually a few seconds, and is very fast in accessing and running multiple applications simultaneously. The backlit keyboard makes typing much easier. This is my third consecutive Lenovo Thinkpad over a period of 18 years, and , as usual, Lenovo does not disappoint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good news for Linux users I am really happy of this computer. It is reasonably light and it does seem robust. I was able to install Linux mint 19.2 in dual boot without any problem and so far it worked perfectly for every program that I used, which includes FEM simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics, Spotify, Skype, Slack... Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because sometimes the noise of the fan bothers me a little (I'm used to my previous computer which was bigger and less powerful, thus really silent).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop for programs, horrible camera Laptop is lightweight and has good speed. Camera quality is below standards. Under regular 60 watt non LED lighting, images have a blue and purple tint. I contacted Lenovo and they sent me a new unit, but the same problem occurred. I have needed to add an external webcam to remedy the problem. This is a big issue for someone who works from home and does many video meetings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful for Production with ease of Portability I ordered a custom P53s unit with Dolby display. The highest processor they had to offer at the time. 16 DDR4 internal RAM along with the 512SSD. I am completely happy with the P53s. I love the size. The P53 looked so big and bulky. I need the combination of portability but the larger keyboard for data entry. This seemed like the perfect fit. Let me tell you I agonized over my choice. It took 6 weeks to get to me so I second guessed myself the whole time. In the end, I am glad I waited. My setup at the office is ultra dock port along with a dual display with the business pro wireless keyboard and mouse from Lenovo. I can’t believe the responsiveness of this unit. Most days this is what I am running all at the same time. Windows Pro with Excel, Word, messaging app called GLIP, Web based EMR along with a separate PM management system, Adobe Pro DC, QuickBooks, iTunes, and of course I use Google Chrome, and Firefox. This computer runs all that, seamlessly and without apparent stress. The fan kicks on but I cannot hear it. The units heats up but nothing crazy. Taking it home is a breeze it ways about 3.5lbs. The onboard laptop and 10key are super easy and for what I wanted to be able to do at home it’s spot on. Powerful enough for Production with ease of Portability. I highly recommend the P53s.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptional UHD non-glare screen I've had the laptop about a month now, and am delighted with its performance. I chose it in part for its anti-glare UHD (3840X1260) screen. I use it mostly for writing, and the antiglare feature allows me to work in a variety of conditions and situations. Most matte screens are low-res and underwhelming, while this one is terrific. I just graduated from a ThinkPad L450, and I find the keyboard similarly good to work with because of the contoured keys and good feel. I like the number pad on the P533s as well. It's as fast as I expected, and setup was very easy. Battery life seems very good so far. The only criticism I have is that it tends to run a bit hot when doing even routine tasks , which is an issue for me as I actually work with the computer on my lap (imagine that) and on a few of these hot July days it was a bit uncomfortable. I adjusted the screen as instructed, but that didn't make much difference. However, it doesn't always happen, so there may have been some background activity I wasn't aware of. Overall, i'm delighted with the laptop. It's light and compact, works great, and the screen is truly special.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sexy robust and a splendid for windows It’s a good one. I had a MacBook Pro along with this one. Needed a windows. I do use for my work and needed a heavy one. Definitely p53s is a good one at its price. I am happy and definitely recommend thinkpad to others if they are looking for windows. You can pay a high price for dell but get a higher resolution.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from P53s is a portable powerhouse that just works... Having used T series ThinkPad's at work for about 12 years now, it's what I'm used to. The T580 or T590 was my original choice since those are the latest versions available and I wanted a personal machine that I was already very comfortable with. However, the P53s (at the time I was looking) had better specs and a similar price point so I took a chance and I'm glad I did. I went from a T560 with a dual-core i5, 4GB of RA, and a spinning disk to a P53s with an i7 quad-core, 8gb ram, and an SSD which makes all the difference in the world. If you compared my T560 with my new P53s, you'd think there was 25 years between them. The P53s is a powerhouse, it's lighter, and stays pretty cool. It works flawlessly with my third-party USB docking station for dual screens and everything just works. I'm a techie, but for a daily use laptop, I just want it to do what I tell it do, and do it quickly without having to tinker or spend hours on Google researching why some weird think is occurring on my brand new laptop. Lenovo delivers. Do not hesitate to purchase this machine!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice computer This is the best Windows laptop I have owned. I love the weight and the feeling of the chassis. material is very firm and the fan is very silent. keyboard is great too. Computer is quite faster. If I would say improvement, here is the list: 1. power button needs to be firmer. it looks it is too cheaply made; 2. touch pad needs to be bigger. somehow, I don't feel touchpad is very sensitive. I am not quite used to use 2 buttons for single click and double click; 3. at the price, CPU needs to be more powerful. the original price was over 3,000. At that price, the CPU must be more powerful; (I always feel ThinkPad is overpriced) 4. For a working station, there should be more room to upgrade the storage. This one only has a single storage, sounds not like a working station. 5. Somehow I don't feel battery lasts very long. Not sure what other people say. All over feeling? very good laptop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stop harassing me for reviews The computer is great except it keeps randomly disconnecting from my wifi and then reconnecting again a few seconds later. I've looked it up and apparently it's a thing. Too busy to figure out a solution that works. Would be great if I didn't have to considering it's a brand new computer and cost a lot of money. Other than that, my only complaints about it are that the ctrl button on the left is the second button instead of the first so I keep accidentally hitting function+v instead of ctrl+v etc. I also don't like the shape of the directional buttons. I also don't like that there is only a windows button on the bottom left and not one on the right. I understand that the keyboard probably had to be made a certain way to get everything to work properly, cut corners wherever so that everything else works well, but yeah that's what my problem is with this computer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Laptop, but too expensive Great Laptop but specs could be better for the price. I bought this laptop because it had the physical hardware I was looking for, with the number pad and backlit keyboard. For the price I paid, I wish the processor was the latest generation with more power and the graphics could be better as well. Overall I'm happy with what I received and it has performed well so far and the sound is great. The security features are a nice touch also. The fingerprint reader is fast and responsive and the laptop boots up immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great machine, highly recommended. This machine was recommended by someone on the help desk at my work. I have been an Apple person for close to 30 years but I recently have had a falling out with them and have grown to love PC's. This machine is a workhorse. It's versatile, it has nice, sharp, crisp graphics and has very little lag. Not to mention a lot cheaper than a Mac. I have yet to put a load on the processor by doing anything graphically heavy but I'm confident it will be able to handle whatever I throw at it. It's extremely light weight but the only thing I miss compared to my old mac is the fact that it's not wrapped in aluminum. Other than I'm ecstatic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop for a fair price. I'm a ride or die kinda of Lenovo Think Pad person, I've owned laptops from about all of the companies out there and hands down my Think Pads outlast all of them. I'm hard on my laptops and I still get 3-4 years out of them. I also like that they are easy to upgrade for the most part. More and more of the laptop companies to include Lenovo are starting to solder everything to the motherboard but that is because everyone wants thin and light. I personaly would exchange some weight and size to be able to upgrade memore and ram and such but they will do were the market takes them. My P53 is another great laptop that has become my daily driver.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PowerHouse I haven't had a windows computer in a very long time. I broke away from the Apple grip and got this machine. I can do anything on this with no problem. Battery Life....Top/medium shelf. I'm teaching myself 3D Art and unplugged I am still getting roughly 5-6 hours without worry School Work....i don't know what that is. The keyboard is super comfy once you get used to have the number pad in a laptop. When i go back to my desktop I reach for the nonexistent number pad often. Gaming....I have't thrown many games at it just yet. i tested out one just to see what it could do. There were minimal issues in terms of lag or overheating Heating/Cooling....The fans do their job. If you have proper airflow beneath it there shouldn't ever be a problem. The fans are "loud" but as powerful as this thing is it's expected. Overall.....worth the investment. I would say upgrade to a 1TB SSD just to give yourself more freedom for everything. Don't forget to upgrade that RAM either

I am a student so I needed a laptop that I could bring to all my classes that was still powerful enough to run solidworks, other cad software, coding applications and other programs while multitasking. The GPU is enough for the small scale CAD modelling that I do for classes and for personal projects.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It weighs a large coffee more than XPS13 Bought the P53s for an extended assignment away from the office - wanted a larger screen and keyboard than my XPS13. It was such an awesome experience that I have been taking both with me on trips, thinking I would use the XPS in airports and on the plane. Reality was I hardly used the XPS, most of my travel time was spent reading reports or on my phone. Finally just gave the XPS to my kid and upgraded my phone. I have gladly exchanged the 20 ounce weight difference for a more powerful machine with a dedicated video card, luscious keyboard and keypad. It is so much easier to work on the P53s - I am getting more work done in a shorter amount time. Ironically, I am now getting more sleep while away on assignment and don't need that second 20 ounce cup of coffee - so the weight difference is a wash!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Our third P5X series... and we will buy again This is our third Lenovo purchase in the P5X series. We have had excellent experiences with these machines. Several things keep us coming back. 1) Durability - we use these machines out on factory floors where they get bumped around and handled a lot during use. They have held up remarkably well. Our only failure so far is the little joystick in the middle of the keyboard breaking off. 2) Reliability - these machines are used all day, every day and rarely experience hiccups, most of which are OS related. We run multiple virtual machines at once taxing the available memory and hard drive activity to its max. We never get overheating or hardware problems. 3) Usability - the keyboards, touch pads, and displays are very comfortable and responsive. The P5X "s" models are very lightweight which is nice when you're moving around with them a lot. The battery life seems about average for laptops these days. Not noticeably better or worse than other brands. We have observed great performance in terms of speed and load handling for our applications. Our apps are generally not graphics intensive, so I cannot speak to that capability very well. I've grown to admire the P5X machines enough that I rarely even consider other laptop brands at all, except Macs, which I need for certain applications. The Lenovos are getting up there in price these days (perhaps due to all the remote work related to COVID?), and are less of a great value than they used to be, but we demand reliability and performance in our machines, so I still think they're a "good" value for the money, especially if a coupon can be found.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy with My P53s purchase Its been three week I got my P53s, So far I am really happy with the laptop. Initial concern was the Weight as I do travel a lot. Its not heavy and easily be carried. Screen is great and very bright and clean. Bootup is fast, Backlit key board is soft and good. Processing speed is great. Running SQL Server 2018 Dev and it runs fast. Its a good developers machine. I upgraded the memory and it was easy. Followed the steps from YouTube. Overall its a good machine and happy with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid laptop and customer service!!! Account rep I chatted with about the kind if laptop I was looking for was extremely kind and knowledgeable. Ultimately I decided on the ThinkPad P53s, and it has been a solid performer since I received it. I will definitely be returning to Lenovo the next time I’m in need of a laptop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect 3D CAD So far, the laptop is working as expected. I use SolidWorks 2019-20 and it is running rather smooth with my engine assembly. I have not encountered any issues, occasional frame rate drops when working in SolidWorks, but for the price point, this gets the job done easily. One con, the battery life drains rather quickly when not on battery saver mode due to the 4k screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall Pretty Good but could be better Overall I think the computer is the what I expected to be. Really fills like a thin and light considering that I'm currently using a fully loaded P51 as my main laptop. My biggest issues out the box: 1) I've had an issue with my wifi adapter with connecting properly that I've had to contact support to fix. They just mailed me a new module for it and I'm under the impression that I need to install it myself. The support staff didn't really provide clarity that I would really expect. I would have thought it would thru the depot service but that does not look to be the case 2) Speaker could be a bit more powerful. It's weaker than previous thinkpads I've had. 3) There are dedicated "Parenthesis" buttons and a dedicated "equal"/calculator" button that I would have preferred as additional volume command buttons.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Phenomenal Needed a replacement for a broken sales laptop. While working with our vendor, Tiffany we found the P53s and discovered a flagship machine that not only would perform as a lightweight and long lasting sales machine, but would also perform for our engineering department and graphics design department. Instead of ordering one, we nabbed 4, and intend to order one for every employee in the company! I'm almost reluctant to recommend it more as I don't want it to sell out!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Screen! I have to admit I thought this laptop was a little big when I pulled it out of the box. It wasn't heavy, it was just big from a dimensional perspective. But after using it regularly for the past couple of weeks I can't believe I used something so small in the past. And the resolution is amazing. The colors and text are so crisp! I've had several ThinkPad's over the past 15 years and they've worked great, but the screens were so small and a bit fuzzy. I highly recommend the 15" 4K screen. I'm never going back!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight, Great Battery Life, Great Value P53s This P53s was a great replacement for my old E550 ThinkPad. The same size screen but in a smaller form factor. The 8th generation i7 seems much quicker than the i7 in the E550. It boots much faster and has much, much longer battery life. I like the idea that is allows a RAM upgrade although it came with 8GB soldered in place. One 32GB SODIMM later and I now have 40GB. I also love the discrete and integrated graphics and that they also show up as GPU's in the Task Manager. The prices was very reasonable to me. I've found this laptop to be a very good value.

Surprisingly sleek, and solid chassis that leaves no fingerprint marks. Decent trackpad but an amazing keyboard. Nearly non existent fan noise unless doing some rendering or other heavy work. Wouldn't recommend if you plan on gaming given the specs. Display is very sharp and crisp. Battery performance appears to last for a at least 4 hours just doing light browsing and couple applications. Haven't recharged the battery yet and still has 56%. Overall, would recommend if the pricing seems reasonable.
