Lenovo has launched two new mobile workstations with Intel Core and Xeon processors. The ThinkPad P1 is the slimmest of the two, measuring 0.7-inches, while the ThinkPad P72 measures 1.72-inches. Both devices come wth Nvidia's professional graphics and fingerprint scanners for added security.

The ThinkPad P72 sports a 17.3-inch IPS display, where users can choose between the two resolutions: 1920 x 1080 with a brightness of 300 nits, and 3840 x 2160 with a brightness of 400 nits. The latter resolution has 100 percent support for Adobe RGB space along with a 10-bit color depth, while the 1920 x 1080 panel offers 72 percent NTSC color gamut.

The device is powered by a variety of eighth-generation Core and Xeon processor options, however, the company didn't specifiy the model numbers. Discrete graphics can be configured up to Nvidia's Quadro P5200 graphics chip and system memory up to a hefty 128GB (4x 32GB DDR4). Users can also throw in 16GB of Optane memory too and a storage of up to 6TB.

The smaller ThinkPad P1 comes with a 15.6-inch display and also supports a variety of eighth-generation Core and Xeon processors. However, it lacks on few fronts compared to the ThinkPad P72.
