Heavyweight performance, lightweight chassis

With the latest 8th Gen Intel® quad-core processor and NVIDIA® Quadro® professional graphics, the ThinkPad P53s delivers the power and performance you need in a lightweight, portable package. Dual solid-state drives (SSD) with up to 2TB storage and up to 48GB of memory ensure no more lag time. Additionally, the ThinkPad P53s includes ISV certification from all the major vendors, like Autodesk®, AVID®, Bentley®, Dassault® Systèmes®, PTC®, and Siemens®.

Your true colors are beautiful

The ThinkPad P53s offers the option of a stunning 15.6" 4k UHD (3840 x 2160) display, available with Dolby Vision™ high dynamic range (HDR) technology. Enjoy increased brightness, expanded contrast, more refined detail, and colors that are super-vibrant—especially with 100% Adobe color gamut. Whether you’re creating or viewing multimedia, you’ll love the visuals!

Audio so amazing you’ll think it’s live

Speakers on the ThinkPad P53s deliver premium sound with Dolby Audio™, which energizes your entertainment with rich, powerful sound. It dynamically adjusts audio to deliver home theater quality in a virtual surround sound experience for all your entertainment needs. Boosted bass and enhanced volume turn it all up for sound that’s loud and clear enough to share.

Extremely well-connected

With a battery that runs up to 14 hours, the lightweight ThinkPad P53s mobile workstation practically begs to accompany you everywhere.* And for true mobility and connection even when there is no WiFi, add the option of WWAN, which lets you jump online securely wherever there’s cellular service.**

* Based on testing with MobileMark 2014. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage, and other factors.

**WWAN must be configured at time of purchase, as it cannot be added later.

Tested for battle, built for life

Because you need reliability, the ThinkPad P53s mobile workstation is tested against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure it runs in extreme conditions. From the Arctic wilderness to desert dust storms, from zero gravity to spills and drops, you can trust this laptop to handle whatever life throws your way.

Because getting hacked would be horrible

Built-in security features protect your business-critical info. Default discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) encrypts data and works in conjunction with Windows 10 security features. ThinkShutter, a physical camera cover, blocks the lens to ensure that you’re only seen when you want to be. An optional embedded fingerprint reader uses biometrics to log you in with a simple touch. Or, use the optional IR camera with Windows Hello to log in with your smile.
