- Lenovo ThinkPad P43s laptop review. A 14" mobile workstation which is also lightweight. Lenovo P43s is for a performance professional laptop on the run.
** EDIT: First USB-C port is only USB-C with display not thunderbolt as I mention in the video so this laptop only has one thunderbolt port.

Good vid - this is the first RUclipsr review I’ve seen for this laptop.
Just ordered mine! I was looking for a laptop for casual use. Web browsing, streaming, emails... But also somthing to learn CAD/CAM on. The P43s seem like the perfect balance of performance and price. While still having a slim design compared to some of the other workstations. Your video helped me make up my mind so thankyou 👍👍
Welcome to my videos Ross McDonnell, I'm glad this video assisted with your purchase. I think you will be happy with this computer. It's very well priced for the power it has for CAD. Thank you for your feedback as well =), hope you will get to enjoy my other videos too.
Thanks! Excellent review without getting too technical. My last two laptops were both Thinkpads and I'm looking at the P43s for my next machine. Btw, I have a 10 yr. old T410 that is still going strong, replaced the hard drive with an SSD and it performs better than when it was new. Also have a T440p that is still working like new. The P43s will probably be my next laptop, since the T490 doesn't come with dedicated graphics.
Thanks for the review - great insight
Loving those positive vibes :D
Hi Daniel Aston, thanks for the feedback and the sub. I will do my very best to never sound dreary in any of my videos and I hope I can bring you some good information and enjoyment on our journey together.
Thanks for the nice review!
As you choose the WQHD display for purpose, what is your impression over the FHD displays you also know from the T-series?
How about color accuracy, edge bleeding, contrast, delta e a.s.o....
Would be great to read your opinion as I am considering it to use it for image editing with Lightroom, Capture One.
Do you think it is capable for this kind of Tasks and how about 4k video rendering?
Otherwise I consider the P53 but the P43s form factor is so nice...
Hi Bsian, great video. I just got my P43s today. love the keyboard, can't complain about the ports, enough for me, I got a MBP 2017 BTW... I use it for CAD. Thinking about upgrading the SSD when I could get 1TB on special.
Hi Jason, thanks for the feedback! I think the P43s will be a massive improvement in speedwise for CAD than the MBP. Coming from a MBP user myself the keyboard on the Lenovos are fantastic, way way better than the butterfly keys from the MBP also the ports not having to always have dongles with you all the time. I tell my clients to buy a large microSD card to slot it into the computer to put their data they don't use often there and then have the SSD reserve for your current working files.
@@BsianTech Awesome. Thanks for your advice. I didn't think about that. That's perfect for me.
@Jason Cong What's the battery life like?
@@kelkka7 not as good as macbook pro, for sure. when using CAD, I only get 3hr. But when watching video with mid-low brightness, maybe 5/6 hr, not sure, didn't watch video for that long :P
@@Jason-le3of so doing just basic word + browsing would get about 8-10 hours?
The only review of this laptop on the internet so far! A great review!
I am wondering, why can't I find any other reviews of this laptop? Is it so low volume? A little surprising since it has a better price than T490 AND has a dGpu..
Why would anyone buy T490 instead of this p43s beauty when T490 is more expensive and has lower spec?
Hi rompish, welcome to my videos. At first when released this was more expensive than the T490 but Lenovo has quickly agressively made the P43s one very well priced laptop compare to the T490 now especially when it holds a more better GPU for CAD. Also the P43s is a new line where as T4x0 is one which well known through the ages. Thank you for your feedback as well =).
@@BsianTech thank you for your reply! Makes sense!
Awesome review.
Thanks very much Pablo Timpson, still trying to get my hands on the P53s =).
Of all things, it's the 1440p display with 500 nits brightness that makes this thing really stand out. 1440p is an ideal resolution for this size of display, essentially "retina" resolution and without the scaling issues that notebooks with 4K displays have running Windows 10. I've checked the upcoming ThinkPads and none of them feature bright displays with this ideal resolution. Even all these months later I'm seriously considering buying one of these things.
Why are there hardly any reviews for this machine? Thanks dude.
Hi Bsian,
It was great. What parts of the machine can be upgraded in future? CAD is my preferenceal app to work with. Do you think it can handle it with ease? Thanks
Hi Ali Adelzadeh, welcome to my videos. Most parts are serviceable and upgradable, the things that can't be upgraded and required to be purchased at the start is the soldered Ram, you get a choice of 8GB or 16GB RAM, I can confirm there is slot for Ram upgrades that allow it for a further 32GB. As for the hard drive it is M.2 and only one slot for that so you can replace the hard drive for larger one but can't get a second one in there. Other two things required to be purchased at the start as its not upgradable path is the uSim and smartcard slots as its part of the frame.
I haven't really used CAD software before but the Quadro P520 should be able to handle it as it isn't a gaming GPU and more for rendering things like CAD and 3D models. I hope that helps your question =).
I just purchased mine and use it for travel video editing but I'm wondering if I should have purchased the X1 carbon 6. My p43s gets hot but I wonder how it compares to the carbon 6. I ended up 1TBSSD, 16GB and 300 nits monitor
You will find the X1 Carbon gen6 heats up more than the P43s. Once the Carbon gen6 gets going for encoding or rendering the fan is very high and also gets way hotter than the P43s. Lenovo made a lot of improvement in thermals on gen 7 of the x1 carbon. As for X1 carbon vs P43s for video editing I think you made a great choice and would have done the same myself as the P43s as the discrete graphics will aid you and also if you find you starting to struggle in the larger size projects you can increase the RAM in the P43s. The only thing I think the X1 Carbon has going for it for your needs is the pure weight, you can't not love how crazy light the X1 carbon is. Be assure in my opinion I think you made a wise and great choice for the P43s.
@@BsianTech thank you for your response, I feel better about the purchase!
Thank you for the review. Is the housing plastic or magnesium alloy?
The housing is Display cover: PPS/50% GF
Bottom: PA/50% GF
. Hope that helps.
BsianDad does t490 have the same build quality (housing) with P43s?
Aiming to get this with 16GB, and the WQHD screen with Ubuntu installed :> shame they do not sell the X series with Ubuntu :< It was either this or the Dell XPS 13 9300 but when comparing the specs this one blew it out of the water (only advantages the XPS one had was faster wifi and a fancy screen). Going to be used for full stack developer work and likely some machine learning too.
Ah great choice, you will find the quadro in this P43s really nice for the machine learning! You can always install Ubuntu yourself and can chose to reformat it back to Windows for others when you either resell or giveaway the laptop after you finish with it =).
@@BsianTech Just ordered it this evening, though will take 3 -4 weeks to arrive :3 going to get more RAM for it separately, it worked out much cheaper.
@@BsianTech I just received the P43s this aft from china, unfortunately I've ran into what seems to be a common Lenovo problem being a fan error after two short beeps. Updated the BIOS to the latest and tried blowing in the exhaust to get it moving but to no avail. Looks like I'm going to have to order a replacement fan.
does it support active pen stylus on the touchscreen version?
I would have liked this laptop a lot more if Lenovo had made it a convertible like the P40. And priced better - for $600 CDN more your can get the P1 with an i7-9850H processor and T2000 gpu.
If this was made into a fold-able tablet this would be even more fantastic for the designers. I was shocked this couldn't option for a higher CPU myself but I must admit I was pretty impressed by the heat this produced how usable the laptop was even when it was being pushed.
from Halloween promos, I stucked with . . .
P43s (1336usd) vs X1 Carbon 7th (1322usd)
Both: i7-8565U, 512GB SSD NVMe
P43s: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz SoDIMM, 14" 250nits, NVIDIA P520
X1: 16GB LPDDR3 2133MHz, 14" 400nits
I don't use CAD but very concern in the price with more power specs.
Help me please !
It comes down to this if both so similar price. Do you require the better graphics chip for your applications, if you do then go with the P43s. If not go with the X1 Carbon 7th Gen, you will like the lightness of it for travelling and really good speakers.
I am struggling to choose P43S or T490. Any suggestion?
Did you experience the coil whine for this P43S? I heard that T490 has the coil whine issue.
Thanks.
Hi David Tian, welcome to my videos. What would you be using the laptop for? Atm I think the P43s is a great buy compare to the T490 because it comes at better price point and includes a discrete graphics chip. The T490 can be spec with the discrete graphics chip too but you will find it more expensive then the P43s I think. As for the coil whine, I didn't hear any on the unit I had on review.
Thank you for your awesome video. I am in the market for a new laptop. I had bought the newest X1 but hated it for several reasons-- small track pad, washed out colors, and poor battery life. I currently have a T440s but it is 6 years old but performs well. With Windows 7 support ending, I may need to upgrade my laptop soon as I am unsure if it can handle Windows 10 Pro by itself and I need to upgrade battery anyway. Long story short, I am trying to decide between T490s and P43s. The T490s seems ideal because it is light weight and has essentially everything that P43s has but with recent coupon codes P43s is much cheaper ~$500. My question is which is the most ideal for me. I only use my laptop for light photo editing, MS Office, and internet browsing. Assuming specs between T490s and P43s are the same, what is your opinion? Also, are colors washed out in both or are they better if I go with the higher end screen (14.0" WQHD (2560x1440), IPS, 500nits, No touch, IR-Camera, Mic, WWAN, Black)? Thank you.
Hi John L, there are three major differences between the T490s and the P43s. One is of course the weight which you pointed out the T490s will be lighter by 100-200g than the P43s but the P43s has a discrete graphics Quadro P520 where as the T490s uses just the integrated Intel graphics. Third is max RAM ability T490S (32GB) and P43s (48GB). Breaking down to your needs you mention photo editing is the one that will demand the most. You don't really need discrete graphics for light editing but is nice to have, RAM wise usually 16GB is enough for photos until you get the crazy large edits. So really it comes down to price and weight for you. If you could get the P43s $500 cheaper than T490s I would go with that unless you do a lot of travelling and then weight is a more major factor. The screen between the two are very similar and if you got the cash I would go with the WQHD for better colour gamut (100% Adobe) than the FHD (72% Adobe) screen. I hope that helps with your decision.
@@BsianTech Thank you for taking the time to respond. When I had the X1 for 2 weeks, the colors were washed out. White appeared yellow. I could compare because I have a t440s and I felt the screen was better than the X1. I don't want to make the mistake of buying a laptop with a display that has washed out colors. Additionally with me being a medical student, I am around florescent lights constantly and the glare will be a detriment. So that's why I wanted your opinion. Is there a glare deflector screen? I also looked at the Macbook Air and Pro. I hate the new Pro keyboard as it is difficult to type. I am a fan of the Air but hate the fact that it lacks ports. Weight is not an issue as my current t440s weights more than all the laptops that I listed and I do just fine with its portability. I also considered the t490. But it appears that there is no perfect laptop on the market these days.

@@johnl9119 what coupons are you using, with those specs I'm hovering somewhere around $1300 for the p43s
Great review!
How's the build quality? Materials and sturdiness?
Hi Sumit Roy, welcome to my videos. If you had a feel of any ThinkPad range of Lenovo this is pretty much consistent with them. Build to take decent everyday punishment but not being ruggered. It's material wise the Display cover is PPS / 50% GF and the bottom is made of PA / 50% GF and for me it felt sturdy, its not aluminium stiffness though but absolutely fine. I hope this helps you.
Hello, great review!!! So I need some advice... I'm debating whether to get this laptop or the T480 model. I'm a college student. I just want this laptop or the T480 to write papers, surf the internet, for when I travel abroad to save videos and pictures, and for its rugged design to be able to withstand bumps, dust, water splashes. I know that the T480 you can also upgrade the RAM and SSD, and have a spare battery I also believe it has the WQHD and FHD display. But does the T480 come with an option to choose a different graphics card rather than an integrated one what would you recommend?
Hi Paulo Ramirez, welcome to my videos. For your needs its pretty easy one and purely comes down to which you can get cheaper. Speed isn't going to be a major factor I think between the two for your application. Both computers you can upgrade the RAM and SSD but the T480 has advantage of having the battery easily removable without opening the laptop where as the P43s you need to remove the backcover. As for discrete graphics the T480 can be spec up with a Geforce MX150. In terms of gaming if you might do some then I believe the Geforce MX150 will be slightly faster than the Quadro P520 house in the P43s. I hope this helps.
BsianDad thank you for your advice! So after more research I went for the X1 carbon 6th gen specs:
WQHD HDR glossy screen
16GB RAM
1TB Storage
I7 8th gen
All this for $1600 USD from Lenovo.com
After a week I got it but I was very disappointed the screen had 4 stuck pixels and 2 dead pixels it was overheating and the laptop would not close completely. Customer service gave me two options use the one I have while they send me another brand new laptop or return it for a full refund. I was so upset as I really wanted this to be my laptop for my years remaining in college.
Woah Paulo Ramirez, sorry to hear your misfortune on the X1 Carbon 6th Gen. They are great laptops, I got a fair number of them running around my workplace and around the world. Looks like the display you had was unlucky faulty one, not common for the number of X1s I received here. As for overheating make sure you update the BIOS to the latest one, that usually settles it down, somehow out of factory or older stock they run the older firmware which makes them run hot. Are you getting a replacement laptop?
BsianDad yes I am and for now I’m using the one I have as the CS rep told me that I may use the faulty one u til my new replacement is delivered. I just hope my next one won’t have those issue. I will update the BIOS thank you!
@@pauloramirez8216 Good to hear they haven't made it too difficult to get a replacement and also allowing you still to work on the faulty one.
If you have had other thinkpads like the t430 would you say this keyboard competes with that keyboard
Hi Noddle Cake, welcome to my videos. I haven’t played with the t430 but I have t480 and t490 around which is the newer models and they have extremely similar keyboard as the p43s. The only thing I would notice of the actual keys is the surface of the keys on the p43s seems to be smoother finish feel than the t480 and t490. Key travel wise and key spacing pretty much the same. Hope that helps you.
The thunderbolt 3 uses x2 or x4 PCIe lanes?

Great video. How would you rate this against a Dell Latitude 3410, with I5 10210U ?
Thanks Joe, processor performance and look wise the Latitude 3410 will do better but graphics power and keyboard on the P43s imo is better.
BsianDad great thank you !
M only gripe is the lightning setup is too dim, otherwise a good review.
Thank you for the feed back Yossavin Sombutpanich , the xmas lights are starting to be on sale =) I might get the background a bit more colour. Just kidding I am looking for a better more permanent solution for background lighting. I hope you manage to get some good information from the video though =).
That’s double what I got e480 for not as much in it but close and the e480 is much more upgradable what’s your opinion big fella
Hi Patrick Farrell, welcome to my videos. First off I'm not in anyway a salesperson or rep for Lenovo but I might sounds a little from the reply. The Lenovo E480 does look like a great laptop too the E and P series are targeted at two very different markets. The E480 is targeted for consumers who want a bit more power than the standard laptop with the discrete graphics added in there, as for the P43s it is targeted at CAD and engineering consumers who require even more grunt. Why I say that is first off is the graphics the Quadro range isn't really to compare to the RX 500 range it would be competing with the RX Vega range in AMD and you will see there is a bit of a price hike from the RX500 to the RX Vega. The other two things that makes the P series a little more is that the RAM can be max out at 48GB compare to 32GB on the E480, designers are always after as much Ram they can fit in their machines and third even though the E480 can house a second hard drive it can only max out it's PCIe M.2 slot at 512GB on the E480 where as its 1TB for the P43s. As insane as the price upgrade from 512GB to 1TB is those professionals in the designer field will pay for more for quicker storage. Don't get me wrong the E480 is fantastic laptop but I'm hoping the points I made out could uncover some reason for the higher price these manufactures ask for in particular models.
Mate I’m a caveman compared to you champ you are more informative on functionality of products then most other reviewers keep it up and thanks for the reply
I don’t think any of us are cavemen anymore just that we all have different knowledge in different fields. I just get experience with dealing with a range of research and designers professional workers for computer requirements and troubles. If you ask me like detailed programming I would be clueless.
I have this laptob and temperature is just up . Any one else?
need more about the innards
Sorry Cem Kilicci about that, I hadn't received approval from Lenovo to open it up before I had to return it back to them. I will see if I could possibility get this one back to do more videos on it.
is it very good for the.latest autocad? which is better p53s or P43s? Is P43s a budget laptop compared to.P53s if i.want to.use.for.autocad or other apps like circuit ?
Hi Francis Gil Crabajales, both the P53s and P43s are the budget version of the P series. The P43s is 14" and P53s is 15". Both will be very similar for autocad what would feel different are three things besides the screen size difference. First is weight the P53s is a little over 250g heavier then the P43s. Second is that P53s can be configured with a UHD (4k) screen which I think the higher resolution is beneficial for CAD. Third is the keyboard, the P53s has a number pad in the keyboard, which would make life again a little easier.
@@BsianTech 4k screens don't always plan nice with CAD programs! Especially if you use an external monitor with a much different pixel density.
Hi i am an engineering student and i am looking for a laptop for autocad and solidworks. Since i am just a student i am wondering if this graphics card will be enough for my tasks or do i need something with more power. Also i am wondering if the legion Y540 with gtx 1660ti will be better option for my tasks.
Hi
Poparcheto 23 , welcome to my videos. This P43s was designed for CAD work in mind. At it's price point its very decent. If you comparing the Lenovo Legion Y540 even with the GTX1660ti you will find that was designed more for gaming but it will do fine in CAD work as well and probably outperform the P43s easily. Just be mindful the P43s is 14" laptop and the Y540 is 17" laptop. Just make sure you get 16GB RAM which is the max for the Y540 it should be enough for student CAD assignments. When you start working professionally the extra RAM which the P43s can offer starts assisting in the larger projects files and the Quadro card for the error correction and stability. As a student the Y540 seems to be better choice if you after pure performance which you can also use as gaming. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the video. I'm a photographer using lightroom and PS in my every day work. Would you recommend the p43 or should i better go with the t490?
Hi Christian Hanner, Lenovo P43s vs T490. This would seriously be which has better price at the time. The only different between the two is the discrete graphics, the P43s has Quadro P520 and T490 if you option in the Geforce MX250, everything else is practically the same. As a photographer the difference between Geforce and Quadro you will barely see much if not at all. Both laptops can be speced up the same. So in seriousness it's all down to which is cheaper.
@@BsianTech Thanks a lot for your explanation!
How many watts is this computer? More than the Surface Laptop 3? I'll be doing CAD. Also, does anyone know if a new version is coming out soon?
Hi David H'ee, if you asking about the battery it is a 50Whr battery in this laptop. This Lenovo Thinkpad P43s was release June 2019 so expect minimum a year before there will be a new version I say. This is a new product in my eyes.
I’m an engineering student looking for a new laptop for solid works, what would be faster this, or the dell XPS 15 with a 1650
Well. I'm getting mine on Wednesday so don't take my word for it but dell xps 15 not only had a H series processor (hex core for i7?), but a good DGPU, however it is too much power for a laptop that thin so it will thermal throttle
To clarify I'm getting the p43s on Wednesday
Karol_K Could you update about the build quality once you get it? And the performance on the P520 Video Card? Thanks!
@@shutupbot3.087 yeah I'm planning to do some benchmarks anyway so I'll post them here some time after Wednesday 👌
@@karol_k thanks in advance.. :)
Hello, would you recommend this laptop for a engineer student?
If no, what laptop do you suggest for around 1300 euro?
Hi BariB, welcome to my videos. As the pricing is different here in Australia you have to check out the pricing to these other laptops in your country. Here are the other laptops I would also look into which is about CAD use. I do say the Lenovo P43s was designed for CAD use in mind and has been priced pretty well it might not be the quickest out there. If you on a tighter budget have a look at the Lenovo T495 as it has a very high clock speed CPU and decent GPU for CAD but draw back is its only max 16GB so if you do very complex designs you want more RAM but as a student I think it should be okay. The other three computers I would also look into which would be about the P43s pricing for CAD work is the Dell Precision 3541 (this one will be quicker than the P43s), the Dell new XPS15 (this will be a 15" can be over budget) and the Lenovo X1 Extreme again this one is 15" and higher in price. I hope that helps you. What you are after for CAD work as a student is a highest clock speed CPU you can budget in for, something with discrete graphics the higher the better of course, if its Geforce vs Quadro go with Geforce as a student if you could get quicker clock speed on the CPU. The fastest clock speed CPU is your greatest asset for CAD as student. Professionally you start to move to the Xeons and Quadro for the stablity. I hope that helps your hunt.
@@BsianTech agreed, student wouldn'd need Quadro. Gaming is much more important, HAHA.
@@Jason-le3of haha my younger self completely agrees as well!
BsianDad I’m a student as well but I don’t really spend much time on games (actually I haven’t been gaming in almost a year). However for the price of a P43s here I could go with a gaming laptop with an RTX2060. Would the higher tier GeForce card benefit me over the P520, seeing that it’s an entry level Quadro card?
I have been on the Lenovo site and there is no option for 16 GB of ram. I was only able to get a total of 40 GB
Hi Christian Sølje, different countries Lenovo Site do vary and might mean you have to give a call to Lenovo Sales directly for the 16GB option. Commercially we can configure it to 16GB RAM for the P43s.
Really liked the video. I bought one recently. Even during the low load with best performance, I am having heating issue. Is there any way to solve the issue ?
Hi Krishna Kumal, welcome to my videos, I would definitely look into doing a BIOS update on your P43s, they shouldn't be running hot even with low load. Also what is the CPU average usage when it starts to heat up and if it's constant the tempature?
@@BsianTech Hi I tried updating BIOS but it says its updated. So I am not sure what is the problem ? Even scanning with Microsoft Malware remover tool makes it hot and system hangs
Is it light or heavy? I want to buy it and I'll be happy if you reply ☺️☺️
@@pegahsa9805 Its very portable. Its just 1.5kg and its working well except the heating issue.
@@krishnakumal1284 thank you!
is everything soddered? any room to expand the memory or hard drive later??
Hi Chis d, welcome to my videos. Not everything is soddered on the P43s. When you first purchase the laptop you can choose to have 8 or 16GB soldered to the mainboard. There is one extra SoDIMM slot for RAM expansion which can take a maximum of 32GB later on. As for hard drive it is using PCIe NVMe so it is removable. Hope that helps.
Is the battery swappable? Can I charge with a USB-C cable?
The battery can be taken out but you need to open the back cover so it’s not an easy push tab and battery can come out. You will need a screwdriver. Yes the first USB-c can charge the laptop. Hope that helps your Ben Friedman:).
Would you recommend it for doing some rendering?
Hi Joseph André Luitz, which type of rendering will you be doing?
@@BsianTech Image rendering with shaders and ambient lights
The Quadro P520 in the P43s should be able to handle the task if your not making huge amount of complex lights.
@@BsianTech ok thanks
"I THINK THAT'S PRETTY COOL..." HAHAHAHAHA.... So do I...
Hey I'm a law student looking for a good pc that can handle casual gaming, word & powerpoint editing, heavy web surfing & video streaming. Would you recommand me this laptop? Currently Lenovo is having a big sale and the spec seem amazing for the price should I buy it?
Hi Saint-Eloi Raoul Aime, the P43s wasn't designed for gaming in mind but can for sure be able to handle some games. If you looking for a bit more performance for gaming have a look at the Lenovo new IdealPad s540 the discrete graphics would perform a bit better for gaming. You will have to check the pricing on your end so you can compare it better.
@@BsianTech how can the IdealPad s540 be better at gaming when the graphic card is an Intel 620 UHD ? Am I missing something?
@@saint-eloiraoulaime813 The IdealPad s540 has a Geforce MX250 in them besides the Intel 620.
@@BsianTech thank you very much ! The website did'nt list the NVidia graphic card on the spec sheet.
@@saint-eloiraoulaime813 May be because of your location? Certain options aren't available on Lenovo's website if you're outside US for instance.
Actually it’s only had 1 thunderbolt port
Hi Ngugyen Van Thieu, welcome to my videos, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I checked the documentation on the P43s and you are correct how silly of me to assume the lighting bolt symbol as thunderbolt like the macs, late night doesn't excuse my mistake. I will add the correction in the description of this video. Thanks again =).
@@BsianTech Nah it's okay I'm looking forward for new content on your channel . Btw nice aussie accent
Thanks mate, I am looking forward to do more hardware reviews on products targeted at professional industry.
No Xenon??? Well that's not good
Yeah for Xeons you have to go with the P1 or the P53 model, I was kinda surprised they didn't have Xeon option for the P43s myself. Both of those are 15" laptop though and this is a 14" plus a starting price is $1k more in price.
