@@TechDave Impressive! For laptops, I don't really need much outside of office work for my day job and light gaming if I am on a trip and I have time. I am just geeking out at the P15 experience. Btw, it turns out I have watched one of your X230 videos some time ago :)
Lovely machine! I have a similar setup but it's a P50. The color calibrator is used to calibrate the display using a software Lenovo provides to make the colors more accurate to some standard.
@@HaisteComputerRepair Mine don't have it so I have no real life exp. with it. I think Lenovo ThinkPad P50 Full In-depth Review by Modern Classic has some info and details about the display and calibration.
Im still rocking my P51. The high CPU temp issue keeps coming to the surface, even after reapplying new thermal compound. I had the machine serviced while still under warranty in 2018 and the temps did drop for a few months. I believe this has more to do with the design of the heat sink fasteners.
I noticed high heat, but perhaps that was an intentional design to keep the fan noise low. Though it did get high, it never shut down due to overheating.
No, but I am currently using a P52 with the 6 core 12 thread Xeon CPU and Quadro P2000 4GB GDDR5 GPU. It's great. I will do a video on it probably this coming March 2024.
recently bought this model. perfect for development and casual gaming. I bought it in Pakistan so i paid about 380 usd(107500pkr) i think i paid a bit more can i share ur price?
@@mustafasohail8609 Just as i expected. It's just a bit overweight around 6.5 pounds(~3.3kg). performance and build wise there hasn't been any kind of issue at all. I'm still using 16 gigs of ram . Perfect for office work, intermediate level development and casual gaming (it cannot run modern games smoothly ,like games that were released after 2020 or so)
Good question as they are similar. It would depend on what the CPU and dedicated GPU are in each device before comparing. I will be receiving a P50 soon for review.
@@HaisteComputerRepair I have an old SWIR camera system that uses an expresscarxd 34 interface, and i have been unable to find an adapter to work with anything other than the computer i have it working on (which is a failing Thinkpad Edge running Windows 7). I'd like to get a more modern computer, that can run that software (with the EC34 port) while also running another SWIR camera running windows 10) and some light Photoshop/Lightroom. Right now i have a computer running each camera plus another one that can process the images, it makes for a clunky experience, and as i said the old Thinkpad is struggling. IT has to be a laptop and id like to condense at least the operating computers down to one with enough oomph (will be plugged in 95% of the time) to act alone from time to time. I work in art and cultural heritage imaging and analysis at an Art Museum. I have to be mobile but have limited sapce
@@_thejager I do have one P51 left that I was going to keep for myself but it does not have the expresscard slot unfortunately. I think one did (along with a WWAN card) but I must have mistakenly sold them.
It should support that RAM, yes. Check out the platform specifications here, where it mentions it: psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P51/ThinkPad_P51_Spec.PDF
If you find one of these with a good dedicated GPU, then you will be fine. Otherwise, you will likely need to scale down the resolution and run at low settings. Anything you have been looking at?
@@HaisteComputerRepair not really as in for ThinkPad. The last laptop I've seen was HP victus 15 but that's too expensive for me. If there's something good enough for 200 I'd be happy because you can always upgrade.
@@commander_maddogtheog For $200 you may not get something that will run GTA V very well. You want something with a dedicated GPU (NVIDIA, AMD) as integrated graphics on a $200 laptop will not be a good experience. Have you thought about putting together a budget desktop PC? Your gaming options will open up quite a bit more.
@@commander_maddogtheogIf you're wanting to game, then power consumption will be a reality. Feel free to send me any links for something you are looking at if you'd like a second opinion. For ThinkPads, look at T480 and up to benefit from a quad core CPU and integrated graphics that will run your game at least on lowered setting and low resolution.
im rocking one of these with the i7 7820HQ/32gb ddr4 2400mhz/M2200 4gb gpu/1080p touchscreen/512gb nvme! sick devices

Definitely a heat sink issue, considering mine is passively-cooled 70% of the time (to be fair, I'm using Linux)
I noticed high heat, but perhaps that was an intentional design to keep the fan noise low. Though it did get high, it never shut down due to overheating.
I might start daily driving a P51 soon, so we'll see how it goes.
Have you tried test refurbished P53 in 2023 ? In Croatia they can be bought for about 900 euro
No, but I am currently using a P52 with the 6 core 12 thread Xeon CPU and Quadro P2000 4GB GDDR5 GPU. It's great. I will do a video on it probably this coming March 2024.
How good is the laptop today?, i got one with Xeon E3-1505M v6, quadro m2200m and 16 of RAM.
Not bad at all I would say. You can do a lot with that GPU and ability to run ECC RAM
@@HaisteComputerRepair ok thanks, i will use it for cads programas, to play and for program PLC.

can i share ur price?
I was selling them for $420 CAD with a 512GB NVMe SSD and 32GB RAM. So, that's pretty close to what you paid.
How's your experience so far?

Who is stronger in terms of performance Lenovo ThinkPad p50 or Lenovo ThinkPad p51
Good question as they are similar. It would depend on what the CPU and dedicated GPU are in each device before comparing. I will be receiving a P50 soon for review.
Does the expresscard 34 slot work with Windows 10? also, did you end up selling this? I really need a capable machine with an expresscard 34 slot
I am not sure as I would have nothing to test out. What are you looking to use it for?

Hello I have a p51 with 64 ram i 7 7820 hq m1200 card and 1 tb ssd 4k screen how much is it worth
I think I sold these for roughly $350 CAD last year, but that was in different configurations and based on what I got them for in surplus.
How to contact you to order this laptop and what are the shipping charges
I am all sold out of this laptop! I currently only have T480s and T460 ThinkPads. haisterepair@gmail.com
Is it smart to buy used one but in good condition
If you want one, yes. Double check hardware here: psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P51/ThinkPad_P51_Spec.PDF
Do you know if these Xeon equipped laptops shipped with ECC RAM? Trying to start homelabbing with an old laptop
It should support that RAM, yes. Check out the platform specifications here, where it mentions it: psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P51/ThinkPad_P51_Spec.PDF
im using a thinkpad laptop but idk what type of lenovo laptop it is
Look at the border around the display panel. Do you see anything? Bottom right.
I have a thinkpad t440p and i love it but it have an integrated gpu without gpu
Are you saying that your T440p has the NVIDIA dedicated GPU?
Is this laptop good to be used in 2024 for casual gaming like minecraft ?
It would work quite well for games like Minecraft. Just make sure you look up what CPU/GPU combo comes with the one you are looking at.
@@HaisteComputerRepair it has i7 7th generation with quadro M2200 and 16 gb of RAM
@@Anas_khan918 Ok, so performance will be similar to the gameplay in this video
@@HaisteComputerRepair how many fps will be i able to get in valorant ?
@@Anas_khan918 I would estimate 100+ with the right settings.
Is this good for minecraft ? How many fps can i get
Yes and probably well over 60fps. Being that the display panel is 60Hz, more might be negligible.
P51 or p52 is better
P52 with the applicable 6 core Xeon CPU and 4 or 8GB GPU.
How many cores in this laptop?
For this Xeon CPU: 4 core 8 thread
