The Lenovo ThinkPad T15p is neither the thinnest nor the most powerful ThinkPad laptop in its class. It may be lighter and thinner than the bulky ThinkPad P15, but the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 is even more compact. And it can't compete with these models when it comes to graphics performance in particular.
However, the ThinkPad T15p also has its strengths. Compared with the regular Lenovo ThinkPad T15, it represents a significant performance upgrade. It also has a full-size SD card reader. The keyboard, touchpad, and TrackPoint are beyond reproach, and the selection of connectivity functions and security features is broad - this includes the availability of LTE out of the box. Lenovo didn't skimp on the display either: The 4K UHD display performs strongly in every respect. The ThinkPad T15p is also upgradeable, and the model with the "p" suffix offers more expansion options compared to the T15. We draw a mixed verdict when it comes to the case: Although it's sturdy, it feels relatively cheap compared to the other ThinkPad laptops.
Battery life is rather weak. This is where the inefficient components and the 4K display take their toll. Speaking of tolls: The ThinkPad T15p "dazzles" with a combination of high temperatures and high fan volume under load. The cooling system seems to be rather underpowered. We find it odd that Lenovo has completely omitted the possibility to charge the laptop via USB-C. We don't see a reason why this function should be left out.
A tough case: Viewed on its own, the Lenovo ThinkPad T15p Gen 1 is a good, powerful work laptop for the desk at home. However, the in-house competition makes life difficult for the ThinkPad laptop.
We can't advise against the ThinkPad T15p, but we also have a hard time making a recommendation. A clear purpose is missing, and the in-house competition is too strong. The T15p isn't cheap either, and if you're willing to pay over 2,000 Euros (~$2,424), you might as well buy the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3. It lacks many of the ThinkPad T15p's weak points. Apart from RJ45 Ethernet and the numeric keypad, the T15p has no real advantages over it.
