How does it compare with the P1 Gen 7?

The Gen 8 moves to Intel Core Ultra 7 processors, which bring better efficiency and newer integrated graphics. The chassis, keyboard and 16-inch form factor carry over largely unchanged.

Is 64 GB of RAM overkill?

For CAD, large datasets, virtual machines or heavy multitasking it is useful. For office work and browsing, 16 to 32 GB is plenty and saves a lot of money.

Does it have a touchscreen?

Yes, this configuration has a 16-inch touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Expect the laptop, its power adapter and cable, and standard paperwork. A pen is not typically included with touch models, so check before buying if you need one.

Is the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 worth it?

It is worth it if you need 64 GB of RAM and a touchscreen in a ThinkPad chassis for CAD, 3D or virtual machines. For office work and browsing, a 16 to 32 GB model does the same job for far less.

Does it have a discrete GPU?

This listing names only Intel Core Ultra 7 integrated graphics. The P1 line offers separate professional GPU options, so confirm the graphics card on the exact build if you render or run GPU-accelerated CAD.
