Recently, the field of gaming has ushered in a blockbuster, the mechanical revolution Pterodactyl 15 Pro, although it generally continues the design of the family's predecessors in terms of internal structure, but it adopts a new 15.3-inch screen and all-metal body, and controls the weight to 2.0kg, which is an all-round laptop with a gaming laptop performance experience. The initial price of the Pterodactyl 15 Pro is only 7299 yuan, but it can bring infinitely close to the performance and experience of the 11999 yuan savior R9000X, and the cost performance is quite high.
However, there are still many students who feel that the mechanical revolution brand is a little worse and lacks offline after-sales service points covering the whole country, so they still prefer the products under the first-line brand, but they feel that the price of the rescuer R9000X is too expensive.
In this case, you may wish to pay attention to the ThinkBook 16p 2023, which is also owned by Lenovo, which is known as the [Business Edition Rescuer Y9000X], and the price is at most 2600 yuan cheaper than the Rescuer 9000X series of the same level (including Y and R).
The ThinkBook 16p's shell is made of silk aluminum, which has a better feel and wear resistance, and the classic color contrast design on the A side has passed 12 MIL-STD-810H military standard tests.
The product has a built-in large 80Wh battery, built-in 4 Harman Kardon smart speakers, supports Dolby Atmos, is less than 20mm at the thinnest point, weighs about 2.16kg, and the portability is not bad.
In terms of peripheral functions, the ThinkBook 16p features a power button with integrated fingerprint recognition function, a 1080P camera that supports face recognition and is equipped with a physical mask, and the upper part of the screen can also be equipped with a Lenovo Chuangxiang module (Magic Bay, only in the high-end version), which is connected to the fill light by magnetic attraction, 4K camera or 4G network card, but the price of these accessories is not cheap.
The screen quality of the ThinkBook 16p is very good, with a resolution of 3200×2000 pixels, 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, 165Hz refresh rate, 430nits brightness, support for Dolby Vision and Rheinland hardware low blue light, and higher color accuracy (△E<1), which is just one touch function away from perfection.
The 2023 version of the ThinkBook 16p is equipped with a 13th generation Core i5-13500H or i9-13900H processor, of which the i5 version can choose RTX 4050 (7999 yuan) or 4060 independent graphics (8999 yuan), while the i9 version is only matched with 4060, priced at 9399 yuan (16GB memory) and 10999 yuan (32GB memory). Obviously, the most cost-effective at the moment is the sub-model of the i9 + 16GB + 4060 configuration.
The power consumption of this product is about 90W for CPU single baking, 115W for GPU single baking, and about 150W+ for double baking, which is similar to the Legion 9000X series, which means that they have similar gaming power.
ThinkBook 16p built-in dual fans and five heat pipes, providing 2 memory slots, 2 M.2 hard disk bays (2280+2242), the interface is equipped with 2A2C, the 2 C ports are full-featured and Thunderbolt 4, combined with HDMI, you can connect 3 monitors at the same time, and it is also equipped with an SD card reader as standard, but it is less than the rescuer1A port.
In general, the ThinkBook 16p 2023 is essentially the business version of the savior 9000X, they have similar portability, expansion and connectivity are also in between, and the performance release is also a level, but it is more than 2000 yuan cheaper than the 9000X, and it is also a first-line brand, a more competitive independent all-round book that is not inferior to a gaming laptop. If you think the current price of the ThinkBook 16p is still expensive, then you might as well wait for the new version of 2024 to be snapped up at the launch price in the future, or see if the price of the old model can be further reduced after the new product is launched.
