best laptop. i bought one from ebay for 300usd but i wanted the 4gb model and the seller sent a 2gb model but i couldnt send it back due to the return policy so he compensated me 30usb. my has the i7 68320hq, 16gb ram which im looking forward to max out, 512 m.2. its the best laptop i have ever owned. although bulky but not bult than my previous dell precision m4800 which died due to water damage.
Are there any videos out there that can help me de-dust my overheating P50? Or at least troubleshoot? Lenovo forums suggest you have to disassemble this machine to get to the fans.
@@willapanews9761 I've seen disassembly videos, but I was wanting one specifically about cooling and the fans. I was hoping it would be simpler - the previous Thinkpad I had was much easier to maintain.
Some older models do not support it but most do. The sim card slot is under/next to the battery. You can see it here 4:16 at around 2/3th of the bottom of the battery bay. The actual card is here in 5:23 where the blue and orange antenna cables come from (left from the WLAN card).
A 6th generation Intel Core CPU is not officially supported. It is possible to work around the hardware check though. Have a look at another video I did on that specifically: For a fresh install: ruclips.net/video/iPc4Tmhv-1o/видео.html or for an upgrade: ruclips.net/video/GI2B5H2tYLs/видео.html
i got a 2103 hdd0 error i got three differnt cable / caddy still not working no signs of damage i also performed bios update via usb still nothing the drive is woking in my t410
Might be the cable, Might be the drive, or maybe incompatible size? Max size for the p50 was 1tb that could be the issue. or not sure would need more details. Could try formating drive then try again if not ... yeah would need specific details.
You will need to work around the hardware check but it should run perfectly fine. If you want more info about that, did some videos on that as well: - For an upgrade: ruclips.net/video/7QMrB4LxqQ8/видео.html - For a fresh install: ruclips.net/video/iPc4Tmhv-1o/видео.html

I have this laptop. Got it a few days ago and is amazing for performance, and doesn't run too hot, unlike my last laptop which is actually newer.
Great video and what a great ThinkPad, modern performance with the traditional features we expect and love.
This thing is even faster with a linux distro. been using PopOS for a couple years now. love it

Should i buy this laptop now?
Nice informative 👌🏽
Thanks bro
with a i7 and nvidia q m5000 2 or 4gb model is it worth getting with 32gb of ddr4 ram will it play games

Hi,
Do you have also fan noise ?
Have y fixed that ?
jnsd_be, is this model supports LTE? i'd like to know where is the sim card slot module placed.
Some older models do not support it but most do. The sim card slot is under/next to the battery. You can see it here 4:16 at around 2/3th of the bottom of the battery bay. The actual card is here in 5:23 where the blue and orange antenna cables come from (left from the WLAN card).
Does p50 supports windows 11?pls let me know and thanks!

what is the type of adapter I should use for it, 135w or 170w
The best would be the 170W charger. I think 135 should work but under heavy load it might not be able to keep the battery fully charged.
can the P50 run windows 11 without any issues
You will need to work around the hardware check but it should run perfectly fine.

How this compares to thinkpad L390?
P series are workstation L series are for casual use so p50 is way better than L 390 in performance
Which is better this workstation or a i5 9-10th gen U model processor?
Most likely the 9th or 10th gen will be better performing. Depends a bit on which exactly but this isn't top of the line either.
How is it with blender 3d?
It does meet the minimum specifications but not sure how well it will do tbh.
@@jensdbe thanks
i dont use blender but it runs adobe premier 2021 pro like champ
It will be good enough for learning, just make sure you get the M2000M gpu with 4gb.

Most designers specially autocad users use numpad all the time. It is easier to input numbers for measurements using the numpad.
