Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 21RQ004UGE Mobile Workstation Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX 40.6 cm (16 inch) WUXGA 1920 x 1200 IPS 32 GB DDR5 512 GB SSD NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell 8 GB Wi-Fi 7 Windows 11 Pro Black

The Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 (21RQ004UGE) is a 16-inch AI-ready mobile workstation engineered for the most demanding professional workloads. It combines desktop-class Intel Core Ultra HX-Series silicon, NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell professional graphics and an expandable four-slot DDR5 memory architecture inside a rugged, ISV-certified ThinkPad chassis built for engineers, designers and data professionals who refuse to be tied to a desk.

Advantages

The 20-core Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX (8 performance cores up to 5.2 GHz plus 12 efficient cores up to 4.5 GHz, 36 MB L3 cache) teams with a dedicated NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU featuring 8 GB GDDR7 and 384 GB/s bandwidth to accelerate CAD, 3D rendering, simulation and GPU compute, while an integrated NPU drives on-device AI tasks. A factory-fitted 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory occupies the four-slot, user-upgradeable SO-DIMM layout that scales all the way to 192 GB, and a 512 GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD with TCG Opal 2 self-encryption keeps large projects fast and secure, with two further M.2 2280 slots (PCIe Gen5/Gen4) for expansion. The matte 16-inch WUXGA IPS panel offers a comfortable 16:10 working area at 500 nits with anti-glare and Low Blue Light, and a huge 99.9 Wh battery, Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 5 deliver all-day, cutting-edge connectivity.

How to use

Power on, complete the Windows 11 Pro setup and connect via Wi-Fi 7 or Thunderbolt 5 to external displays, a dock or high-speed storage. Install the NVIDIA RTX PRO drivers for certified performance in professional applications, and add DDR5 SO-DIMMs or M.2 NVMe drives to scale memory and storage as project demands grow.

Recommendations

For sustained CAD, rendering and AI workloads, run the latest NVIDIA RTX PRO Studio drivers and keep the workstation on mains power to maintain peak CPU and GPU clocks. Note the German (QWERTZ) keyboard layout when ordering for non-German regions.
