The Lenovo ThinkPad P70 is a pricey but advanced piece of machinery. It's an excellent replacement of your desktop workstation on the go but as we mentioned, it comes at a price. Even the entry-level model with Quadro M600M doesn't cover our expectations...
The ThinkPad P70 is certainly not for everyone. With a starting price close to $1900, and add-ons driving the price into the stratosphere, mobile workstations are for those that need powerful systems that can be moved around. You'll get more bang for the...

To do this day the ThinkPad P70 is one of the most powerful laptops, or should we say mobile workstation we have used. The computing power of this machine rivals many desktop systems and can handle heavy duty tasks with ease. Looking at the SPECwpc result...

Lenovo's ThinkPad P70 is an excellent re-entry into the segment of 17-inch workstations. We especially like that Lenovo supposedly listened to the feedback of customers and reversed some controversial design decisions of previous generations and even impr...
