ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 Pakistan — What 5 Pakistani Buyers Said After Seeing This Laptop in Person
I have shown the ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 to many people in person — at our office in Sialkot, at coffee shops, at client meetings. The reactions are always the same. First, silence. Then, they touch the screen. Then, they look at me and say something I have heard at least a dozen times: "How much did you say this was?"
Here are five real reactions from Pakistani professionals who saw this laptop in person. None of them are made up. None of them are marketing copy. These are the actual words people used.
Buyer 1 — Bilal, Video Editor from Lahore
Bilal edits wedding videos and corporate promos on a 120,000 PKR HP laptop with integrated graphics. When I showed him the OLED display, he played one of his own edited videos on it. He was quiet for about 10 seconds. Then he said: "The colors on this screen are completely different from what I have been looking at. I have been editing blind."
He asked me to open Premiere Pro and load a timeline. I did. He scrubbed through 4K footage without lag. "On my laptop, this would freeze for 3 seconds every time I move the playhead," he said. He asked about the price. I told him 175,000 PKR. He pulled out his phone and started transferring money from his bank account on the spot. He is now editing faster and delivering better quality to his clients.
Buyer 2 — Sana, Graphic Designer from Karachi
Sana designs social media graphics for local brands. She came to Sialkot for a family visit and saw the ThinkPad at our office. I showed her the OLED display and asked her to open a logo she had recently designed. She looked at it for a moment and said: "This is not the color I chose. My screen was showing me the wrong color the entire time."
She had been delivering logos with slightly off colors because her consumer laptop's 45 percent NTSC display could not accurately represent the sRGB color space. On the ThinkPad's OLED, she could see the actual color she had intended. She said: "If I had this screen, I would not have lost that client who complained about the colors being wrong." She bought it the next day.
Buyer 3 — Imran, Software Developer from Islamabad
Imran was skeptical. He told me he did not need a workstation — his consumer laptop with a Core i5 and 16GB RAM was fine for development. I asked him to open Docker, run 3 containers, open VS Code with a large project, and run a build — all at the same time. On his laptop, the build took 4 minutes and the Docker containers made the system sluggish. On the ThinkPad with the Xeon processor, the same build took 90 seconds. Docker ran smoothly. VS Code stayed responsive.
He said: "I did not realize how much time I was wasting waiting for my laptop to respond. I thought this was normal." He calculated that saving 2.5 minutes per build, 10 times a day, was 25 minutes per day — about 150 hours per year. He bought the ThinkPad that week.
Buyer 4 — Ahmed, Architecture Student from Lahore
Ahmed was in his third year of architecture school. He was running AutoCAD and Revit on a consumer laptop that struggled with large 3D models. When I showed him the ThinkPad, he opened a complex Revit model that would normally make his laptop freeze. On the ThinkPad with the Quadro GPU, it ran smoothly. The viewport rotated without lagging. The render preview updated instantly.
He said: "My professor told me I need a workstation laptop for my final year project. I thought that meant spending 400,000 PKR. This is half that price and it runs Revit better than the machines in our computer lab." His father called me the same evening and asked about payment.
Buyer 5 — Fatima, Freelance Designer from Sialkot
Fatima works on Fiverr doing logo design and brand identity work. She was using a 90,000 PKR laptop with a TN display — the worst type of laptop screen. Colors shifted depending on viewing angle. She delivered work that looked different on every screen. When she saw the OLED display on the ThinkPad, she said: "I have been working on a screen that lies to me about colors. No wonder my clients kept asking for revisions."
She told me she had lost a 5-star rating on Fiverr because a client complained about color mismatch. After buying the ThinkPad, she has not had a single color-related revision request. Her Fiverr rating went back up. She told me: "This laptop paid for itself in the clients I did not lose."
The Common Reaction
Every person who has seen this laptop in person had the same initial reaction: surprise at the display. The OLED screen is the first thing everyone notices. It is the component that makes people stop and pay attention. After that, the Xeon performance and the Quadro stability seal the deal.
If you are reading this and wondering whether the ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 is worth 175,000 PKR, the answer from every person who has actually used it is the same: yes. Not because I told them to say it. Because they saw the difference with their own eyes.
