Lenovo ThinkPad P71 laptop Xeon E3-1535M 64GB 4TB 17.3" 3840x2160 Quadro P4000

Mobile workstation for professional rendering

The ThinkPad P71 is a 17.3-inch mobile workstation built around an Intel Xeon E3-1535M v6 processor with a 4.20 GHz turbo frequency. It delivers 64GB of DDR4 memory at 2400 MHz and a 4TB SSD for large project files. The 3840 x 2160 UHD IPS display and NVIDIA Quadro P4000 GPU target ISV-certified 3D rendering and multitasking workloads.

Upgrading from lesser mobile CPUs and GPUs

The quad-core Xeon with 8 MB L3 cache replaces dual-core or standard mobile processors when sustained 4.2 GHz turbo performance matters for compute tasks. The Quadro P4000 with 8 GB VRAM steps up from entry-level graphics for certified driver stability in professional applications. The jump is worth it when 64 GB RAM and 4 TB storage eliminate paging and external drives during complex scenes.

Suits ISV-certified workflows on the move

This configuration suits engineers and designers running over 100 ISV-certified apps who need a fingerprint reader, smart card reader and Pantone colour sensor for secure, colour-accurate work. The 4G LTE WWAN supports connectivity away from Wi-Fi. Buyers who need a touchscreen or a lighter chassis for frequent travel should look elsewhere.
