Lenovo Thinkpad P1 mobile workstation
This laptop first appeared on my radar during the pandemic. My mother works in the medical field and was given a Thinkpad P1 laptop for her hybrid work at home. Many companies have ordered these and not only do they have very good working specs, but surprisingly they also have very good gaming specs. Some Thinkpad P1 laptops with 6-core Xeon E-2276M, 64GB RAM and Nvidia Quadro T2000 can run most games on PC (with frame rates above 30 FPS to 60 at medium to high settings depending on the game) . These laptops are now flooding the market at very cheap prices. Some range in price from $150 to around $300, and given that price range and these specs, it’s really worth buying for home work, gaming, or laptop activities on the go. –Jaeger
