[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid build quality; trackpad and mouse feel great. The extra screen height is surprisingly helpful. Fast and reliable. My first Lenovo laptop; this is quite encouraging.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Track pad is a finger oil magnet. My left shift key is already starting to come out. Windows boot error on the initial startup when purchased. Fingerprint reader not really working that great. Average battery life. Red dot is loose already. Very flimsy material.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've barely used mine thus far but I'm hopeful it'll age better than my last laptop. This is my second ThinkPad after trying to make things work with an increasingly jenky Alienware laptop for a handful of years. I think the biggest draw of this model was how it's offered with a decently sized 1440(ish)p display, yet still manages to be reasonably light. I saw lots of reviews criticizing the battery, but for me it hasn't proved to be a problem yet; I have a good feeling about the longevity of this laptop.
I would recommend this to a friend!

T16 (AMD) Best of 5 - 16" laptops tested
on December 12, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Time to upgrade my 13 inch HP Spectre as the screen is becoming too small for me. I ordered 4 other laptops to test including 1)LG Gram 2-1, 2) Acer Edge, 3) Lenovo 7 slim 4) Thinkpad 16" Gen 1 - storm gray and this Thinkpad 16" but with the 2560 X 1600 non-touch screen, part number 21CH004BUS.
Here's the verdict and why I kept the last one:-
1. LG Gram is flimsy, sound is bad.
2. Acer is better and lighter than LG but it's hot.
3. Slim 7 screen has too much glare, loud fan noise and hot keyboard. Performance is good though. Screen is sharp and bright, but it feels much heavier.
4. The Storm gray T16 AMD is pretty good, but mine came wobbly where my right palm rests. The storm gray ones weight 4.24lb, returned due to defect.
5. I ended up getting a replacement of the T16, but opted with the one with better screen and gave up the touch screen in view of the better screen quality as seen in Slim 7. And the black one weighs light at 4.04lb. It says magnesium at the back of the cover though the detailed specs seems to say carbon and glass fiber...but that doesn't matter to me as it feels light and agile!
Super happy with the laptop, fast, robust, literally NO fan noise except for brief moments when it's installing updates. Keyboard is good to type and machine runs cool all the time. Sound is good, upgraded screen that came with this model is great too!
On top of that, Lenovo customer service is fantastic as they sent me the replacement of the new laptop at black friday price! Can't ask for more! Believing the machine will last as ThinkPad stands behind it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great had some power issues, but after messing with the power settings sleep mode or the auto hardrive going to sleep changed. Does not wake up well after it goes to sleep, usually have to do a hard reset to get back on so save your work overall willing to work with it but make sure you take advantage of the tech support if needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The form factor and specifications for the T16 are excellent. I really like the AMD platform and bright screen that has the ideal pixel density. There are some growing pains with the BIOS and S3 sleep not being supported yet, but there seems to be a fix on the way.
The keyboard continues to go downhill compared to older ThinkPads, but this is the cost of a thinner PC. The battery spec was not on the website when I ordered and was surprised that the top spec did not have the larger battery.
I would recommend this to a friend!
