For consideration is a Lenovo ThinkPad P43s, a 14-inch workstation-class notebook built for users who need strong computing capability in a compact frame. Though small and easy to carry, it keeps the solid build quality that the ThinkPad series is known for, making it a practical option for engineering, architecture, and other technical fields where both durability and performance matter.
This machine was used gently in an office and spent most of its life attached to a dock, which kept wear to a minimum. The photos shown are of the actual unit.
Driving the system is Intel’s Core i7-8565U, a four-core processor with eight threads that can boost up to 4.6 GHz when extra processing power is required. It provides consistent performance for productivity software, CAD tools, and modeling applications.
The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory and has been upgraded to a large 1 TB NVMe solid-state drive, offering far more storage space than typical workstation ultraportables. This high-capacity SSD provides plenty of room for project files, datasets, media libraries, and software installations while still delivering fast boot times and quick application launches.
Its display is a 14-inch IPS panel with Full HD resolution (1920×1080). The anti-glare surface helps tame reflections, and the sharp resolution is well-suited for spreadsheets, documents, and general use.
Graphics duties are handled by NVIDIA’s Quadro P520 with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, a professional GPU certified for many engineering and design applications. For lighter tasks, the system switches automatically to Intel UHD 620 graphics to conserve battery life.
Ports include Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and a full-size Ethernet connector, giving you broad flexibility for displays, storage devices, and accessories. The ThinkPad keyboard maintains its familiar tactile feel and supports backlighting for low-light environments.
The battery remains in excellent health and continues to hold its original rated capacity, offering reliable runtime away from the desk.
Windows 11 Pro (version 24H2) has been freshly installed, fully updated, and paired with Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint—ready for immediate use without any subscription fees.
The sale also includes a Lenovo ThinkPad 40AJ docking station with its 135 W power brick. It provides additional ports—USB, DisplayPort, HDMI, Ethernet—and makes it simple to switch between laptop-only use and a full desktop setup. This dock generally retails above $100 but is included at no extra charge.
