Lenovo ThinkPad P52 laptop i7-8850H 32GB 512GB NVMe + 1TB HDD Quadro P1000 15.6" FHD

Mobile workstation with six-core processor

The Lenovo ThinkPad P52 is a 2018 mobile workstation built around an Intel Core i7-8850H six-core processor reaching 4.3 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 2400 memory, a 512 GB NVMe solid-state drive and a 1000 GB hard drive. The 15.6 inch FHD IPS panel shows 1920 by 1080 resolution and the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 provides 4 GB of dedicated video memory. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed.

Serviceable storage and memory bays

The bottom cover removes with standard screws to expose two SO-DIMM slots and drive bays for the NVMe stick and 2.5 inch hard drive. Upgrading RAM or swapping drives is straightforward for anyone comfortable with small Phillips screws. The fingerprint reader and webcam privacy cover are integrated into the chassis and cannot be added later if missing. Thunderbolt 3 ports use the USB-C connector; verify cable compatibility before purchasing adapters.

Verify charger and port requirements

Confirm the included AC adapter matches the workstation's power draw before relying on it for heavy workloads. Check that your external displays support the native 1920 by 1080 output over Thunderbolt 3 or HDMI. The keyboard layout follows the traditional ThinkPad arrangement with TrackPoint; ensure this suits your typing preference. The unit ships with Windows 10 Pro; plan for an OS upgrade path as support timelines advance.
