- Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad P53, a 15.6” mobile workstation that’s extremely powerful and upgradable. The laptop is available with Intel 9th gen Core i5, i7 and i9 processors and the Intel Xeon 8-core E-2276M CPU. It ships with NVIDIA Quadro graphics, at the low end the T1000/T2000 and at the upper end there’s the Quadro RTX 3000, RTX 4000 Max-Q and RTX 5000 Max-Q with 16GB DDR6 VRAM. It’s currently the only 15” mobile workstation with the Quadro RTX 5000, which is the model we have for review. The ThinkPad is available with full HD and 4K UHD displays, including a 4K OLED option. The P53 is designed for 2D and 3D CAD, modeling, architecture and 3D rendering.

Can't tell you how happy I am to see a proper review of the 2019 ThinkPad P53, and it's on my favorite youtube channel no less. Thank God for you Lisa!
I love it when you review ThinkPads!!! I have the P51 and it's a dream to type on. As a writer, and a student, I love ThinkPads!
Oh ma gia. Talk about quick turn around, I requested this in your last vid, thank you so much. I have been searching youtube hourly for days for anyone to do a solid review on the p53, I'm glad it was you, so thorough.
Edit. The xeon is 6 core
Kickass review, as always, Lisa! Loved it! DANG, this is upgradeable and fixable! Love it!
You are incredible Lisa! Thanks for the fantastic overview :) super informative. Refreshing to have the real questions answered instead of flashy sales talk, much appreciated.
I've been waiting for this. You made am awesome review too. Thank you!
OLED tends to shift and lose color accuracy when changing brightness. Reducing the highest brightness level helps to retain the consistency.
Love the review Lisa! Happy to see more numpad laptops on here 🙌🏻
utility is much more important than beauty.I like quite industrial chunky style hardware that looks like it will last.
Beautiful! I am a Dell guy but I just can't help myself with the Thinkpad. This looks to be one heck of a beast. Lovely expandablity and boy do I love that.
R.a. Wheeler I have had Dell laptops for the past 20 years. But the Dell Precision laptop (5510) runs too hot due to its slim chassis. Thermals are bad and even with the latest 15” model, it hasn’t really improved. Also drivers are bad and I have lots of issues with the Dell Docks (D3100, WD15 and TB15/TB16). My next laptop will probably be a Lenovo in this series. The only drawback is the numpad that causes the keyboard to be asymmetric.
@@RamonDeKlein I love the XPS line, but for some reason Dell has really cheaped out the cooling on them. I have a Latitude 5491 with a 6 core and Nvidia graphics. The thing is a 14 inch beast. But like the XPS 15 it throttles. Even after using new paste and shims. It's still better than a Macbook pro, but it's not what it could be. Especially if I am using my TB16 thunderbolt dock. For whatever reason them two don't seem to play well together. The fans will just blast away. It's a little heater. I don't think it's strictly Dell. It's this push for thinner and lighter laptops. But when your sticking that kind of hardware in there... I mean it's still a 14mn cpu. These things produce a lot of heat under stress. For my $2100 bucks I expected better. I was only $400 or so off from moving up to a precision 7530. I probably should have pulled the trigger in retrospect. But I really wanted to keep with a 14 inch footprint. My 5470 before it never had these problems at all, but to be fair that was only a quad core with Radeon graphics and it didn't have thunderbolt. I used the traditional doc with it.
Thanks for the comprehensive review. It was extremely helpful.
For those planning on installing your own additional SATA connected hard drive call Lenovo first. The SATA connector is not included when configured online and you will have to order their hard drive installation kit. Which is a easy and clean install for any basic PC technician. Ordered mine with the basic Quadro T1000 and 512GB SSD drive, 500 nit screen and 16 GB for video and photo editing. I was way overdue for an upgrade. Added another 16GB and the Crucial MX500 2TB SATA SSD drive. Other than having to order and install the hard drive installation kit and having to disable the touch pad so it doesn't interfere when using the TrackPoint; I couldn't be any happier. With the X390 as my ultra portable and my old E545 as a print server I now have a legitimate high speed wireless network to boot.
On a final note the P53 FHD 500 nit screen is gorgeous.
Amazing review, thank you and please keep it up on workstations
love the expandability, wow!
Can't wait for your pixel 4 review! You're the one of the only reviewers I trust!
Great job! Than you for such detailed review!
Amazing review. Was waiting for P53 review for long time.
Also you cleared my doubt, which RAM slots lenovo fills in.
Thanks for another great review.
Thanks for the review really helpful
Thank you for at great review. You make it seem so easy.
You reviewef this surprisingly well.. Kudos
I think the review of your P50 is one of the first of your videos I ever watched; the P70 review I particularly enjoyed with the sentence "you can kill a rat with the power cable".
not just the cable, but the power brick itself! ha
I love the look, my first laptop for school and college was a T430 and I love the aesthetic
Very informative review...great job!
The computer overall is impressive. It is very customizable. The only real drawbacks I can find are the sound (which isn't bad by any means) and the weight (which can be overlooked after you adjust). Otherwise, it's a very powerful machine with an awesome keyboard, finger scanner, and the lovely Cortana.
Great review. Thanks!
Got to love that intel core i6 1:44
Nice channel keep up the good work! I am wondering if the Lenovo P5*/P7* will come up with the AMD Ryzen processors. Any info about that? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much, first video i saw of yours and you earned my suscription and thumb up!.
@KmaEoN same here...
Upgraded from a x220 to a P53 and so far love it! It’s setup as a desktop with 2 external monitors. It’s snappy and responsive!
cool so you connected 2 monitors WITHOUT a docking station?
Yes, docking station optional.
Excellent information Lisa 👍
Good review, subbed.
This is the type of laptop i want.
Lisa. You're the best!
I have a P50 and still love it - it has been a real workhorse, easily equivalent to my original IBM ThinkPads. People talk about how Lenovo's ThinkPads aren't as good, but you get what you pay for - the high-end ThinkPads are as good as they ever were (and no less expensive). My only disappointment with the P50 is that the 4K screen, while amazing in every other way, was never all that bright and has gotten even dimmer over the years. But it seems like that's fixed in the newer models.
Time will tell...especially on the OLED touch screens, many bad feedback about them so far. I'll stick on the "classic" FHD IPS for the moment, as they are time-tested technology. But you're right about brightness improvements, we can now comfortably use those new laptops under sunlight :)
Thx, I have been waiting for this. How was the heat management with such a monster vga ?
Had this for a year now, use the autodesk suite as well as Archicad. I've found it manages heat very well, fans are very quiet, occasionally kicking up if I'm rendering or doing some heavy duty work. The bottom gets warm sometimes but not hot, and even then not consistently warm.
This is for a regular amount of use , not constant office work.
Thank you for the video.
Wow i could run 4 to 5 VMs comfortably with this thicc beast!
Gorgeous. The Thinkpads pretty good as well. Still have this P50 which is going strong, and thanks to my indecision I haven't yet splashed out for its replacement.
Hopefully I don't have these thoughts. I bought my P series so I can own it for a decade.
Great!
Would you review the p43, please?
I got one and i can confirm that is the best laptop money can buy,
Hey, great review, what's the next model up after that?
I'm about to return my really hot P1 Gen 2 for the P53. What I'm really hesitant about is a dock. Lenovo recommends the 40AN0170US but reviews on it and the 230 W dock are atrocious. I have never worried about a dock until these external blocks. My HP ZBook connected via a Thunderbolt G2 dock and I never knew if 1, 2, or none of my displays would work or how to bring them back consistently if I did lose them. I'd also lose the audio. Lisa - you have any recommendations? Could I use a non-Lenovo dock?
What a beautiful system
Thank You, Liza for your detailed Review. Am intending to purchase this WorkStation for my Desinging and Rendering. You just made it easy for me to make a Positive Decision.
Which is better p53 low series with vga quadro t1000 than zephyrus g14 have ryzen proc with geforce RTX for rendering. Big thanks..
Could you tell me what connection ports are included on the base model?
I’ve seen one with a Nvidia Quadro P520, however i cant find anything about that graphic card, is it new ? How does it perform on comparison to other graphic cards ?
Hello! Do you know if the SATA HardDrive is just for 2.5 Slim (7mm) ? or can upgrade with any HDD 2.5?
is the trackpad any better than the P1 2nd gen?
Would this thing be good for gaming? Thanks!
I would also like to see you review Thinkpad E495/E595
love your t-shirt
please review the P53s!
Any chance for a review about the HP EliteBook Dragonfly ?
I am thinking about eventually upgrading my thinkpad (I currently have a P51s) to this model
Is it possible to do a comparison with the Dell Prevision 7540? Plz?
How does the CPU used in this particular model compare to Ice Lake (e.g. 1065G used in XPS 13 2-in-1) and highest spec Comet Lake?
Is this a good choice for editing videos?
Lisa can u plz review the Yoga C940 🙏🏽
This is literally the one I picked out for my company a month ago and we are testing the first one out. We do 3d modeling, renderings, cad and Adobe work. So far it's been great. The one thing it's missing is the normal lay down docking station.
hiring?
@@alienpolygon6926 Yes, bring a pair condoms through.
Sir, could you please update about your testings? It would be very helpful. I was considering buying Thinkpad P53 for autocad works. Thank you!
I apologize for my curiosity.
Could you tell me why you didn't buy, instead a Ryzen 9/ Threadripper workstation for your work?
For the same price, you would have the double, and more, of the power and the possibility to upgrade for years.
I'm interested in your point of view.
Thank you.
@@giuseppenativo2123 Our organization uses Thinkpads therefore we wanted to keep the same look but a more powerful laptop without it being obviously different.
Would you recommend this laptop to a graphic designer? I mostly use Adobe apps like Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects and some 3D work on Sketchup and Cinema 4D. Are the Xeon and i9 processors better than the new Ryzen chips?
Would you recommend this over the hp zbook x360 g5 dreamcolor?
Lisa can you review Thinkpad P43s or P53s? they are aimed at engineering students.. so it'd be great if you review those products..
thank you
Would the 4K panels cover more of AbobeRGB?
My dream computer
Can i unscrew/remove the battery and just use the laptop with the the power brick ?
Can I use it with touching on the screen?
I hope I will buy it. And how much is it now?
Oh, finally!
Love the P series. Got a chunky P70 myself :)
P72 here:)
P71 Xeon here.
how are ur p series holding up today? is it still fast or slow
I am between Thinkpad P53 or Legion Y740. I need it for 3-D geological modeling and Radar image processing. Thinkpad with GPU
(NVIDIA Quadro T1000 (4GB GDDR5)), but legion Y740 with GPU RTX 2060. Which one is better for my job?
Thanks
Really, i want it
How does it compare to the new MacBook Pro 16???
Make jokes all you want. At least these are upgradable and fixable. The thin notebooks might look nice, but if anything goes wrong it's trash. If you can even open it without destroying it, you'll find everything soldered on and not replaceable. I have given up on the thin, pretty models. It's off- lease Lenovos from here on in. I'll probably get one of these in about 5 years and it will still have 5-10 years of useful life.
Here I am replying to you after 4 years and couple monthes!
Now I am buying it after all these years!!! 😂
I bought one today for 625 €.
I7, 32g Mem, Quadro T2000, 1TB SSD
worth it?
I bought one last week for 875€. i9, 4k, rx4000m.
Bought one today with i7 64g 1tb Rtx 5000
750€
I see a Thinkpad review by Lisa, I know I am in for a good time. Lenovo made a mistake when they removed the removable battery.
Even if I can not afford it, I still watch it to see your cheerful personality :) Yes, love this beast of a machine for my data analytics and science projects.
@Ajit Singh - i am planning to run Data Science projects on it, no gaming, no 3D rendering.
So, does it make sense to go to dedicated GPU and skip the T-line?
@@avgonyma1 First I would get clarity on the type of data science projects to run. Then would Google for the minimum hardware recommendation for those projects. That would determine my base minimum budget. Then I would decide my max budget based on base budget. I would compile the list of all the known brands that configure the workstations for data science projects (e.g. www.lenovo.com/us/en/think-workstations/artificial-intelligence-industry/c/artificial-intelligence-industry). Then I would rank them by price and the value / configuration. Normally I fix the CPU and GPU and go for minimum RAM and lowest hard disk config. I buy them separately and upgrade it myself.
@@ajit555db thank you. Very informative. Unfortunately, in my country we only get preconfigured Lenovos.
So the P53 i was looking at only has a Nvidia Quadro T1000 4GB GPU. (no chance to get a better GPU). Seems that is not much for data science (read someone barely fit a deep learning network into a 6GB GPU). Does it potentially make sense to take that GPU?
(If i understand correctly, one can usually not buy and change a GPU by themselves)
hey, great review. I'm a designer, do CAD and Blender modeling and rendering. Just got a Lenovo thinkpad p53. I'm not sure i'm super happy and can't seem to find feedback out there. Got the i7 9859, 32G ram, 512GB drive, nvidia Quadro rtx 3000 etc... my new laptop is ok but I find when I render it's a bit slow??? I'm confused with Quadro rtx 3000 vs ie GeForce rtx 2080?? for example. which is best or faster...
When will the Lenovo P53 come out with the Intel 10th Gen processors.....any idea....?
Hi Lisa, may I know your opinion on the Dolby Atmos Speakers quality? Thanks!
Are they in the P53? (Sorry, too lazy to check).
Will there be a P73 as well?
I love it
Does it support two 4K external monitors?
Love me some chunky Thinkpads ❤️
Finally!!!
Could have told us a bit more info on the graphics performance and high CPU performance.
Which Thinkpad has the best keyboard?
how did you get the battery status % on the tool bar???
thanks in advance
It's part of the Lenovo Vantage support application, which is available for free at Microsoft Store if you don't have it installed already. There you can set the Vantage Toolbar on.
THICC BOI
After my last Thinkpad ($2,600), the Oled screen took a dump at the end of the first year with no support from LENOVO. I am done buying LENOVO, after years buying Thinkpads, since it was IBM, I just switch and I am happy with the Asus, the Asus zenbook Duo works great and built well. Good bye Lenovo. By the way I bought the Oled screen because of your positive review.
I'm here for the thicc thinkpads
How noisy or silent is it at full throttle?
Did you skip the noise level?
Do you when a P54 could be announced ?
Can we insert simcard
This is the best laptop out there.
Can it be charged using USB -C?
I do lots of programming for supercomputers and a significant amount of AI as well - and my eyesight isn't all that good anymore, so I got the p73 without the touchscreen, but with 128 GB RAM, 2 2TB SSD and one 2 TB spinning (6 TB total - as much as will fit on the machine), and the i9-9880H. Unfortunately, when doing anything significant, the temperature rockets up to where it's throttling. I'm running Linux Mint, and I've already got it on a 4-fan cooling pad. Any suggestions for more cooling? It's on 57 C right now and all I'm doing is watching your review.
Try undervolting. If that doesn't work, then redoing the thermal paste might be your last resort.
Review the Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2
Can it trump the macs
Please do the thinkpad x1 extreme gen2!
How about the graphic card? Is it upgradable as well? If you buy this unit with nvidia T1000 4gb card then you want to upgrade it to rtx 5000 would that be possible?
You can't upgrade a laptop gpu nor a cpu, this would involve some skilly tweaks and change on the cooling system. Moreover you have little to no chance to find a retailed laptop graphic card on the market (maybe ebay) since they are meant to be sold to manufacturers only.
