General
Model: ThinkPad P50 (15.6″ mobile workstation).
Build: Glass-fibre reinforced plastic + magnesium/aluminum components; business-class durability.
Weight & size: Approx. 2.50-2.67 kg depending on exact config.
Processor & Graphics
CPU: 6th-gen Intel Core i7 HQ-series (e.g., i7-6820HQ, 4 cores / 8 threads) in many models.
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro M1000M (professional GPU) — your mention says 2 GB, whereas variants may come with 4 GB.
Integrated graphics as fallback: Intel HD Graphics 530.
Display
Size: 15.6″
Resolution: Common configuration 1920×1080 (Full HD) IPS panel; 4K UHD options also existed.
Finish: Anti-glare, business style.
Memory (RAM)
Your spec: 16 GB RAM.
Slots: 4 × SO-DIMM slots (very good upgrade potential).
Maximum supported: Up to 64 GB RAM in many variants.
Upgrade Info: Yes — the RAM is upgradeable. You can increase from 16 GB to 32, 48 or up to 64 GB (depending on your exact motherboard & OS).
Storage
Your spec: 256 GB SSD.
The platform supports multiple drive configurations (M.2 and/or 2.5″) depending on exact model.
Upgrade Info: Yes — you can replace the 256 GB SSD with a larger capacity one or add a second drive if your model has bay/slot.

Battery & Power
Battery life: Businesses/workstation class — expect moderate runtime under heavy load; not ultrabook levels. Reviews point to “average” battery for such performance.
Power adapter: Substantial (due to workstation GPU).
Other Features
Keyboard: Classic ThinkPad keyboard with TrackPoint, backlit options.
Certification: ISV certifications for pro apps (CAD, engineering). MIL-STD testing for durability.
Strengths & Constraints
Strengths: Workstation GPU (Quadro), upgradeable RAM/storage, robust build, 15.6″ size is versatile for work.
Constraints: It’s an older model (6th gen), so multi-core performance will lag new machines; GPU is modest by today’s standards (2-4 GB VRAM); battery runtime likely shorter; heavier than ultrabooks.
