And I'm a big fan of the screen's matte finish, which curbs annoying reflections from windows and overhead office lights. Viewing angles are also extremely wide, so the picture doesn't wash out when the display is viewed from an angle. Meanwhile, text looks crisp, and colors pop on the P50. I felt comfortable even while viewing and editing two large spreadsheets side by side. The ThinkPad P50's 15.6-inch 4K display isn't just stunning to look at вЂ“ it's also really roomy, and the super-high resolution makes more of that screen space usable for productivity. It definitely feels extremely sturdy and durable in my hands. Lenovo says it was designed with business-class durability, so it can withstand dings, short drops, shocks, vibration, extreme temperature and humidity. If you do accidentally drop it, the P50 can probably take it.

The soft-touch finish on its lid, meanwhile, feels luxurious, and makes the system easy to grip when you're carrying it around the office. The P50's modest black design looks classy and professional.

The P50 will actually fit into your work bag, and is actually light enough to carry on the occasional commute. On the other hand, it's a lot more mobile than 17-inch workstations like Lenovo's 7.6-lb. That makes it noticeably beefier than competitors like Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro (4.4 lbs., 0.71 inches thick), Dell's Precision 5510 (4.6 lbs., 0.66 inches thick) or HP's ZBook Studio G3 (4.6 lbs., 0.71 inches thick).

The ThinkPad P50 is a hefty slab of a laptop computer, measuring a full 1.16 inches thick and weighing a hefty 5.8 lbs. Commuters and travelers might want to opt for something a little more portable, though. You also get a best-in class keyboard and killer graphical performance, all in a package that starts at $1,322.

The 15.6-inch workstation impressed me on our battery life test, outlasting nearly all rivals. Lenovo's ThinkPad P50 is a capable workstation that will last through the end of the workday and beyond.
