Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 5 Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 386H 16″ 2.8K OLED 64GB LPDDR5X 1TB NVMe SSD NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 8GB Windows 11 Pro AI Mobile Workstation

21XE0017ZA

The Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 5 delivers workstation-class performance in a slimmer and more portable 16-inch ThinkPad platform. Designed for engineers, architects, developers, designers and professional content creators, the 21XE0017ZA combines Intel’s Series 3 Core Ultra architecture with NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell professional graphics and high-capacity LPCAMM2 memory.

At its core is the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 386H, featuring 16 cores and 16 threads in a hybrid configuration of 4 Performance cores, 8 Efficient cores and 4 Low Power Efficient cores. With boost speeds reaching up to 4.90GHz and 18MB Intel® Smart Cache, it provides strong processing performance for professional multitasking, engineering applications, development and content-creation workloads.

The processor incorporates an Intel® AI Boost NPU delivering up to 50 TOPS, qualifying the ThinkPad P16s Gen 5 as a Copilot+ PC and AI-ready workstation. This dedicated NPU accelerates compatible local AI workloads while allowing the CPU and GPU to focus on other processing tasks.

Professional graphics acceleration is provided by the NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. This dedicated workstation GPU is designed for professional CAD, 3D modelling, visualisation, rendering, engineering and GPU-accelerated creative workloads.

The workstation comes equipped with 64GB LPDDR5X-7467 memory using an LPCAMM2 module. Unlike permanently soldered LPDDR memory, LPCAMM2 provides a modular high-bandwidth memory architecture, with the P16s Gen 5 platform supporting up to 96GB memory.

Storage is provided by a 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, delivering fast application loading, responsive multitasking and ample space for professional applications and project files. The platform uses an M.2 2280 storage architecture with support for high-performance PCIe storage.

The premium 16-inch 2.8K (2880 × 1800) OLED display provides an exceptional professional visual workspace. The panel offers 500-nit brightness, 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage and a 120Hz refresh rate, making it particularly well suited to design, content creation and colour-sensitive professional workflows.

Connectivity is comprehensive, with Intel® Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth® 5.4 and Gigabit Ethernet. Physical connectivity includes two USB-A 5Gbps ports, two Thunderbolt™ 4 / USB4 40Gbps ports with USB Power Delivery 3.1 and DisplayPort™ 2.1, HDMI® 2.1, RJ-45 Ethernet and an SD Express 7.0 card reader.

Security and enterprise management features include Intel® vPro Enterprise, discrete TPM 2.0, a Match-on-Chip fingerprint reader integrated into the power button, IR facial recognition, Computer Vision-based Human Presence Detection, camera privacy shutter and bottom-cover tamper detection.

Despite its workstation-class specification and large 16-inch display, the ThinkPad P16s Gen 5 starts at approximately 1.8kg, making it an attractive option for professionals who need substantial computing and graphics performance without moving to a heavier desktop-replacement workstation.
