Lenovo has slashed the price of its ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 workstation laptop to $1,139 (€1,048), marking the lowest price ever for this configuration according to the company. The deal applies to the Intel-powered model equipped with a Core Ultra 7 155H processor, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, and Nvidia RTX 500 Ada Generation GPU with 4GB GDDR6 VRAM.
The 14-inch laptop features a 3K IPS display running at 3072 x 1920 pixels with 120Hz refresh rate, over 400 nits peak brightness, and full DCI-P3 color space coverage. The dedicated RTX 500 Ada graphics card provides hardware acceleration for multimedia workloads including 4K video editing and real-time ray tracing. Battery capacity comes in at 75Wh, and the chassis includes the signature ThinkPad input devices and upgradable RAM slots.
The P14s Gen 5 carries Ubuntu certification and ships with an official Linux user guide from Lenovo. Users report successful deployments with Fedora and Arch Linux running current kernel versions, with most hardware working out of the box. The RTX 500 Ada GPU benefits from Nvidia's open-source kernel modules alongside traditional proprietary drivers for Linux users seeking hardware-accelerated workloads on open platforms.
Notebookcheck's review of a similar configuration praised the sturdy build quality, high-quality keyboard and trackpoint, versatile connectivity options, and bright high-resolution display. The reviewers noted that cooling fan noise could be quieter under load and would have preferred an sRGB color profile option alongside the DCI-P3 coverage. The discount represents a significant drop from typical pricing, which the company attributes to ongoing promotions despite industry-wide memory shortages affecting laptop deals across manufacturers.
