Lenovo ThinkPad P1 G9 laptop 16" Ultra X9 388H 64 GB/1 TB Arc B390, ENG

The 16-inch IPS panel at 1920 × 1200 has a 16:10 aspect ratio, so a code editor shows more lines and a spreadsheet more data than on a 16:9 screen. 500 cd/m² of brightness and an anti-glare finish keep work comfortable next to a window or under bright office lighting. There is no touchscreen on this model.

The Intel Core Ultra X9 388H is a 16-core H-series processor with boost up to 5.1 GHz. High clocks and a high core count speed up code compilation, data processing, simulations and video exports. 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory at 8533 MHz lets you run several virtual machines or containers at once without the system slowing down.

Graphics come from the Intel Arc B390 integrated into the processor; this configuration has no separate graphics card. It is enough for multiple monitors, video playback, photo editing and lighter 3D work. Integrated graphics use system memory, and 64 GB leaves plenty of room for that. For heavy rendering, the P1 G9 is also available with NVIDIA RTX PRO graphics.

Two Thunderbolt 5 ports and one Thunderbolt 4 port support DisplayPort 2.1 output and USB PD 3.1 power, so any of the three can take a monitor, an external SSD or a charger. You also get HDMI, USB-A (10 Gbit/s), an SD Express 7.0 card reader that also reads regular SD cards, a 3.5 mm headset jack and a Kensington Nano security slot. Wireless is Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4.

Battery capacity is 90 Wh. The laptop charges through its Thunderbolt ports under USB PD 3.1 with up to 140 W input, and the same ports deliver up to 15 W to accessories. The USB-A port is Always On, so your phone keeps charging while the laptop is closed. The manufacturer does not give a runtime in hours.

The fingerprint reader sits in the power button and works on a Match-on-Chip basis, so fingerprint data never leaves the chip. The 5 MP IR webcam supports Windows Hello face sign-in and HDR, Computer Vision human presence detection notices whether you are at the screen, and a privacy shutter covers the lens. The keyboard is backlit with an English (ENG) layout.

Software developers who compile large projects and run virtual machines; data analysts for whom 64 GB of memory and 16 cores provide headroom; photographers and videographers who use the SD Express card reader and three Thunderbolt ports; and anyone who needs a powerful 16-inch ThinkPad but not a discrete graphics card.
