Lenovo ThinkPad P71 laptop i7-7700HQ 64GB 1TB NVMe + 1TB HDD 17.3" FHD Quadro M620

Mobile workstation for ISV-certified apps

The ThinkPad P71 is a 17.3" mobile workstation built for professionals who rely on ISV-certified applications such as CAD, 3D rendering and simulation software. Its Intel Core i7-7700HQ quad-core processor reaches 3.80 GHz turbo frequency and is paired with 64GB of DDR4 memory running at 2400 MHz. The NVIDIA Quadro M620M GPU provides certified drivers for over 100 independent software vendor titles. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed.

Serviceable storage and memory, soldered CPU

The 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD and 1TB hard disk drive occupy separate bays, so either drive can be swapped without disturbing the other. Both SO-DIMM slots are filled to reach 64GB, meaning a memory upgrade requires replacing existing modules rather than adding to empty slots. The processor is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be changed. The fingerprint reader and secure chip are integrated into the chassis and are not user-serviceable parts.

Quad-core i7-7700HQ with 3.80 GHz turbo

The single specification that determines suitability is the Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor: four cores, 6 MB L3 cache and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.80 GHz. This CPU governs compile times, simulation throughput and multi-threaded rendering performance in the ISV-certified workloads the P71 targets. Buyers who need more cores or higher sustained clocks for large assemblies or GPU compute offload will need a different platform.
