Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen 3 (Intel) 15.6" Laptop

Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen 3 (Intel), Intel Core i7-12800H / 32 GB / 512 GB SSD / NVIDIA RTX A2000 4 GB (21D90015SG) - Singapore Local Warranty

A 600-nit UHD Adobe RGB panel, on the machine that was hiding it

The distributor build sheet for part number 21D90015SG fits a 15.6-inch UHD 3840x2160 IPS panel at 600 nits, anti-glare, with HDR 400, Dolby Vision and 100% Adobe RGB. Lenovo publishes exactly that panel for machine type 21D9, as a non-touch option, so the two sources agree and it is real. It is the brightest, widest-gamut display on any ThinkPad workstation we list, by a wide margin, and it is the reason to buy this configuration. Until today, this page's own specification bullets described the screen as 15.6-inch Full HD 1920x1080 IPS at 250 nits, which understated the brightness by roughly two and a half times and threw away the resolution and the colour gamut entirely. That has been corrected. Note that all four panels Lenovo publishes for this machine type are 16:9, unlike the 16:10 panels on the P1 Gen 6 and the P16 Gen 2, which is a real difference if you are comparing them side by side.

What this exact configuration is, corrected against its own build sheet

This listing is one fixed configuration and its bullet list used to contradict its own build sheet in eight separate places. The corrected reading: the processor is an Intel Core i7-12800H with 14 cores (6 P-core + 8 E-core) and 20 threads, not an i7-12700H with 12 cores; the memory is 32GB of DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM, not 16GB of DDR4; the graphics is an NVIDIA RTX A2000 with 4GB of GDDR6, not a T500; the battery is a 6-cell 68Wh unit, not 57Wh; the port list includes Thunderbolt 4, which the old bullets omitted; the 2.3 kg weight in those bullets is not a Lenovo figure, and Lenovo publishes Starting at 2.226 kg (4.91 lbs) for discrete-graphics models like this one; and describing a 12th-generation part as Intel's latest processor was never accurate. This is a 2022-generation machine and we would rather say so.

Ports, the smart card reader, and the lock slot that is different here

Lenovo publishes one Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40Gbps port on this machine type, not two, alongside two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports with one Always On, an HDMI 2.1 port up to 4K/60Hz, a 3.5 mm combo jack, an Ethernet RJ-45 socket which the P1 Gen 6 and P16 Gen 2 do not have, an SD card reader published without a version number, an optional smart card reader and a power connector. The build sheet records a smart card reader as fitted on this part number, which is consistent with Lenovo listing it as an option, and it is a genuine differentiator for enterprise buyers. One warning that matters at the checkout: Lenovo publishes a Kensington Security Slot at 3 x 7 mm on this machine, the STANDARD size. The other ThinkPad workstations we list take a Nano slot at 2.5 x 6 mm, and a Nano-head lock will not fit this machine. Order a standard Kensington lock for this one and a Nano lock for the others.

Why this page has two specification tables

Lenovo's PSREF book is the authority on the machine type, but it lists the panel, the camera, the memory modules, the AC adapter, the wireless card, the smart card reader, the Windows edition and the warranty term as OPTIONS for the whole machine type and does not say which of them is fitted to any one part number. The distributor build sheet does say that, for part number 21D90015SG, and it is reproduced below word for word in its own group. We keep the two apart on purpose so you can see which source each figure comes from. Where they disagree we print both readings and say so rather than quietly picking one, and we confirm with the distributor before shipping. Where neither source states a figure we write not stated instead of estimating it or copying it across from a neighbouring generation.

Warranty, bundled software, and service in Singapore

Lenovo's published base warranty options for this machine type are: 1-year courier or carry-in service; 1-year courier or carry-in with 2-year system board service (Korea only); 1-year limited onsite service; 3-year (1-yr battery) courier or carry-in service; 3-year (1-yr battery) limited onsite service; No base warranty. A three-year base term does exist in that list, but every three-year entry Lenovo publishes is qualified (1-yr battery), so battery cover runs for one year and not three. We print that parenthetical rather than dropping it. The distributor build sheet for part number 21D90015SG states no warranty term at all, so this listing makes no duration claim and the three-year heading the page used to carry has been removed as unsupported. The words Premier Support appear nowhere in Lenovo's book for this machine type either; where a build sheet does name Premier Support, that documents a configured service upgrade rather than Lenovo's base term. This listing previously stated its warranty three different ways at once: three years in the heading, a three-year onsite term in a bullet, and a 1 Year BufferZone Deluxe line on the build sheet. The first two were unsourced and have gone. The third is not a warranty at all: BufferZone Deluxe is bundled application software with a one-year licence, and reading it as a one-year hardware entitlement was a mistake we have corrected. Warranty entitlement is registered against the machine's serial number. Please ask us to confirm the registered entitlement in writing before you order.
