Overview

Slim mobile workstation

A slim workstation for professional and creative work, with a 16-inch display and dedicated NVIDIA graphics. Its lightweight composite-and-aluminium body is designed to make workstation hardware more portable.

  • Two cooling designs

    Lenovo fits vapour-chamber cooling only with RTX A3000, A4000, A5000, RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 graphics, so the catalogued RTX 3080 version has it and the T1200 version uses heat pipes. Notebookcheck found early BIOS versions held a heat-pipe Core i7 unit to about 40 W, but after BIOS 1.13 its CPU performance matched the vapour-chamber models.

  • Replaceable memory

    Two memory slots support up to 64 GB, allowing capacity to grow as projects become larger.

  • Backlit ThinkPad keyboard

    The spill-resistant keyboard includes a TrackPoint and glass touchpad, with backlighting for dim workspaces.

Graphics and storage expansion

  • NVIDIA T1200 · 4 GBThe entry professional graphics option suits less demanding CAD and graphics work. This version has room for two SSDs.
  • GeForce RTX 3080 · 16 GBA higher-end graphics option for gaming and more demanding GPU work. Its 16 GB of graphics memory accommodates larger assets, but this version has room for only one SSD.
