Lenovo ThinkPad P17 Gen 2 laptop i7-11850H 128GB 4TB RTX A2000 17.3" FHD

Mobile workstation for demanding workflows

This Lenovo ThinkPad P17 Gen 2 is a new mobile workstation built around an Intel Core i7 11th Gen processor with 8 cores and 16 threads. It carries 128GB of DDR4 memory and a 4TB PCIe NVMe SSD for large datasets. The 17.3 inch IPS display shows 1920 x 1080 resolution at 60Hz without touch input. An NVIDIA RTX A2000 with 4GB GDDR6 provides dedicated graphics for professional applications. Windows 11 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed.

Connectivity limited by available ports

Two Thunderbolt 4 ports handle high-speed peripherals and external displays while sharing the USB Type-C form factor. Additional USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 Type-C ports offer further connectivity but do not add Thunderbolt bandwidth. Wi-Fi 6E AX210 and Bluetooth 5.3 provide current wireless standards. A single HDMI output, RJ-45 Ethernet, SD card reader and audio combo jack complete the physical interface set. No optical drive is fitted.

128GB DDR4 memory decides upgrade scope

The system ships with 128GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM installed, which represents the total memory capacity for this configuration. Buyers who need more RAM cannot expand beyond this figure. The 4TB PCIe NVMe SSD handles primary storage; no secondary drive bay is mentioned. The 94 WHr battery and 170W power supply support the 7.7lb chassis measuring 16.3 x 11 x 1.4 inches.
