ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 summary

ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 is a gaming laptop with Windows 11 Pro released in 2026. It has an outstanding Intel CPU, though not that much RAM for its price. The laptop has the RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU which is unimpressive well-suited for gaming. You can run older games on recommended settings, but using lower graphics settings you can play 60% of the games published this year. Merely WUXGA resolution is lackluster for the 16-inch IPS monitor. Your 1000gb SSD storage is adequate could be better. It is quite on the heavier side at 6.5 lbs (2.95 kg).
