A 16-inch display using a 16:10 aspect ratio could have certainly been installed here. From a design point of view, this could easily be a 2015 laptop. You will probably be surprised by the massive display bezels when opening the lid for the first time. The P15 Gen 2 doesn't look modern at all in terms of design, either. Subjectively, the quality impression is definitely higher in the competition from Dell or HP. The outside is almost entirely made of plastic, and while it feels quite nice to the touch (not too rough), it's also pretty susceptible to dirt. The P15 Gen 2 can still be immediately recognized as a classic ThinkPad, which is probably boring for some users, but it's functional at least. Users who don't need ISV certifications should take a look at the identically built ThinkPad T15g Gen 2, which is powered by the consumer GeForce GPUs. Our test unit with the model number 20YQ001JGE costs 2,850 Euros (~$3,304) (or 2,500 Euros (~$2,898) in the case of the corresponding Campus model), and it's a mid-range configuration equipped with the Core i7-11800H, 32 GB of RAM, a 512 GB PCIe SSD, the new RTX A3000, and a 1080p display with a brightness of 500 cd/m².
The processors have been updated to the latest 45-watt CPUs from Intel (Tiger Lake H45 Core i5, i7, i9 or Xeon), and the graphics cards have also been updated to the new RTX A GPUs from Nvidia (successor to the Quadro GPUs). Lenovo used a completely new case for the first generation of the ThinkPad P15, and it has now been adopted without changes for the second generation. With the ThinkPad P15, Lenovo continues to offer a traditional mobile workstation where high performance and good maintenance options continue to play an important role, rather than achieving the slimmest design possible.
