Top engineering laptop gets a $1600 price-cut for Presidents’ Day

Today’s top mobile workstation deal

There are a number of reasons why I rate the P16 as the top choice for pretty much every branch of engineering. This isn’t just a laptop – it’s a fully realized mobile workstation capable of phenomenal power.

So, yes, as you might expect, this machine isn’t the most portable around. But by sacrificing a lightweight design, you get a serious powerhouse performer that can tackle complex workloads at all levels without breaking a sweat.

The fast Core Ultra 7 255HX is a processor that’s specifically built for high-performance tasks. Couple that with the dedicated Nvidia RTX PRO 3000 Blackwell graphics card, and 64GB of memory, and you can expect seamless performance. If you’re running the likes of AutoCAD, MATLAB, and SolidWorks, that’s just not a problem for a workstation like this.

The display here is also worth a shout-out. It’s a 16in 4K screen that can hit 800 nits brightness and with a 100% DCI-P3 color coverage for those who need color accuracy.

And, of course, it features that iconic ThinkPad keyboard which easily delivers the best typing experience I’ve found on any laptop around.

It’s not only suitable for engineering projects – for running complex datasheets in business, it’s similarly ideal and I have no hesitation recommending it for that, too. For me, it’s precisely where the P16 Gen 3 shines.
