Limitations

The ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 is relatively heavy compared to ultrabook-class laptops, limiting portability for everyday casual users. Its premium configuration options can make the price point quite high, which may be prohibitive for small businesses or individual users on a budget. While powerful, the integrated display GPUs options do not compete with the highest-end discrete gaming graphics, focusing more on professional reliability. Battery life can vary considerably under heavy workloads, requiring frequent charging during intensive use cases. Some ports and legacy connectivity have been phased out in favor of more modern standards, which might require adapters. The advanced hardware configuration requires careful thermal management as the system can get warm under maximum load.
