T16 (AMD) Best of 5 - 16" laptops tested

[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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’m happy with my purchase so far. It seems solidly constructed. The display is sharp and bright. My only gripe is that the trackpad absorbs oils from fingers and looks smudgy and worn after just a few days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the color accuracy leaves a bit to be desired on the 45% LCD model, that is more of a statement on those displays in general - not this laptop. I was more interested in a lower price point. It's snappy, runs cool, and comes without bloat. Speakers are okay, but I'd really have to stretch to finding anything terribly negative about this laptop. Got the 86wh battery, and I'm very pleased with battery life and the highly durable Thinkpad product line in general.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful fast, good looking and practical. Just one SSD slot feels sour.

I wanted an AMD Rembrandt based laptop but the only ones available either were tiny (13") or had a discrete video card. The 6800 and 6850 processors had the 12 RDNA2 CU (compute unit) GPU which is where I wanted to be plus a CPU that could compete with a Cezanne 5700g CPU.
In short, the 6850u RDNA2 GPU is twice as fast as the Vega 8 on a Cezanne 5700g, the CPU is 80% of a 5700G.
Lenovo also gave a nod to fwupd which allowed me to update the BIOS (something that frequently comes with a bleeding edge platform) with Linux, no windows or USB drives necessary.
I did a "build your own" from Lenovo's site, which allowed me to specify my processor, memory, display and keyboard (backlight = yes), and battery capacity/charging speed. Any memory upgrade moved the system into dual channel and considering the scarcity of 6800/6850 AMD laptops without discrete GPUs and that I got to build it myself, it was the laptop of my dreams; or at least close enough. From ordering the laptop to delivery was less than three weeks; great.
My HP 5700g requires me to remove my Linux NVMe drive, boot into windows, spend hours updating windows, update the BIOS. Lenovo lets me just do a fwupmgr refresh fwupdmgr update.
The performance of the 6850u and the 680M graphics is great, the screen is great the sound is good enough the experience was great. Extra stars for never having to boot windows

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Battery only lasts for 3-4 hours after a full charge, only activity is browsing. Misleading advertising of this being whole day battery.
Have tried everything listed in the lenovo support site to conserve battery but does not help much.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cursor is sometimes difficult to find. The select buttons are located differently than old Lenovo
