Cores and Threads Explained

• Cores: These are the physical components within the CPU that perform actual processing tasks. Having more cores generally means better performance and the ability to handle more tasks simultaneously.
• Threads: Threads are the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler. With technologies like Hyper-Threading (by Intel) or Simultaneous Multi-Threading (by AMD), each physical core can handle two threads, effectively doubling the number of tasks the CPU can manage at once.

Why It Matters

• Performance: More cores and threads improve multitasking and performance, especially for tasks like video editing, gaming, or running multiple applications simultaneously.
• Efficiency: It allows the CPU to distribute tasks more efficiently, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall system responsiveness.

Think of it like having 6 chefs (cores) in a kitchen, each capable of handling two dishes (threads) at the same time. So, your kitchen can work on 12 dishes simultaneously, improving the efficiency of your culinary operation!

Unrestricted Access: The BIOS is free from password restrictions, ensuring you have full control over your machine.

Experience the difference this high-performance laptop can make in your computing endeavours. Whether you're a professional or an enthusiast, the Lenovo ThinkPad P52 is up to the task.

Condition

As shown in the videos and product pictures, this laptop is in Excellent Used Condition. It is fully functional, with only minor cosmetic imperfections typical of business use:

• Lid: Very minor scuffs and scratch marks
• Bottom Case: Very minor scuffs and scratch marks.
• Keyboard: Slight shine to some of the keys & trackpad, all keys and the trackpad work just fine and have been properly cleaned 
• Screen: A tiny faint pin head sized spec mark to the lower right, very hard to see as shown in the product video 

These imperfections are purely cosmetic and do not affect the laptop’s performance. Please refer to the pictures and video for a detailed view of its condition.

Preparation, Diagnostics & Cleaning

The internal fans have been removed cleaned, hoovered then new thermal paste applied to the heat sink, fan re-seated and sprayed with compressed air to ensure of a cool quiet running experience as you can see from the good processor temperature reading via the Core Temp App. The motherboard is checked for any signs of liquid spills and sprayed with compressed air to remove any dust or debris. The keyboard has been fully tested and cleaned with a sanitiser solution  to remove any dirt and grime! All exteriors of the laptop are then cleaned with a sanitiser solution using a microfibre cloth. The screen is cleaned using a non-smear solution and a specialised LCD screen cleaning cloth. All ports are checked and tested as working.

The Drive has been checked using the Crystal Disk application and as you can see, it reports Good health and a good temperature. The laptop then has a full diagnostic scan to ensure there are no failings or issues, as you will see in the below video it passed without any issues. It is then left to run for at least 24 hours without been allowed to sleep or hibernate to ensure no issues develop.

Battery

This model has one external 80Wh battery, Windows has indicated 5:19 after a full charge the laptop has then been left to run on the battery without been allowed to sleep or hibernate or turn the screen off for 1:30 hours after which Windows indicated 5:27 remaining @ 79% capacity. The Battery Info View tool is also used to obtain the readings of the battery health which is 76.4% as shown in the last picture in the product photos. This will vary depending on usage and settings and is an indication only I offer no guarantees on the battery as it is a used consumable item

All Windows, System & Bios Updates are applied at the time of listing so it’s ready to go!

As you will see the laptop has a tamper evident security seal on the rear of the laptop if this is removed or damaged this may invalidate the warranty and return process
