I bought a P51 off Ebay for ~$830 over the summer. It is really well built, and I definitely got a better laptop used than I could have new for the same money.

Great laptop for my needs, 64 GB RAM, came with M2 SSD and took for 2 more drives, and has dedicated graphics card. No complaints.

I found myself hankering after a P-series Thinkpad, after watching Louis Rossmann, near enough destroying one of them!

P50 series was horrible on Linux with the dual graphics setup (the intel + nVidia combo). Just a nightmare for more than 1 external monitor and a docking station setup.

Correction: you didn't know how to set it up.

The hardware works just fine.

Thanks for your opinion.

The post was based on multiple people within my company, not just me. I would not recommend the old P50 on Linux.
