Background and Identification

The ThinkPad is a line of laptop computers originally developed by IBM until 2005, when Lenovo purchased their personal computing division and has been manufactured by Lenovo ever since. The ThinkPad line is composed of 4 major categories, all providing more powerful computing with different niche focuses. The P series laptops are equipped with more graphics processing power for computing-intensive work.

The ThinkPad P51 is a 15.6-inch laptop that runs on either Windows 10 Pro or Windows 7 Pro operating system. It is sold with an NVIDIA Quadro M520M graphics card and can support up to 32 GB of memory in two 16 GB memory cards. The P51 model can support up to 1 TB of HDD storage or 1 TB of SSD storage. It includes a backlit precision keyboard with a numeric keypad.

ThinkPads can be identified by their black plastic casing, a red ‘Trackpoint’ dot in the middle of the bottom edge of the “G” and “H” keys on the keyboard, and the ThinkPad logo diagonally across one of the corners of the top case. The P51 includes three USB 3.0 Always-on charging ports, an HDMI 1.4 port, a USB-C port, an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, a Docking Connector, a microphone/headphone combination jack, and a Smart Card Reader port.
