AMD’s Radeon RX 6500M discrete graphics would no doubt improve performance, but don’t expect it to clobber the competition. Both are common among premium laptops of this size.Īs mentioned, the Z16 is available with Radeon RX 6500M graphics-and, in fact, this appears to be more common than not. There’s also a full-sized SDcard reader and a 3.5mm audio jack to round out physical connectivity. Intel-powered alternatives like the Dell XPS 15 may offer better data transfer speeds to external drives (though, to be clear, our testing does not include transfer speeds). This is a limitation of AMD’s current mobile platforms. The ThinkPad Z16’s modern connectivity doesn’t extend to Thunderbolt 4. You might run into a situation where a third-party power source doesn’t fully power the laptop. Most USB-C power bricks in the world deliver less and so do most monitors with USB-C Power Delivery. It should be noted, however, that the bundled adapter delivers 135 watts, which is quite high. All three support Power Delivery and they all work with the included power adapter. 5Gbps).Īll three USB-C ports have DisplayPort Alternate for video output to external displays. Even the USB-C 3.2 port is Gen 2, which has double the data bandwidth of Gen 1 (10Gbps vs. But I’ll give credit to Lenovo for its fully modern USB-C connectivity.

Movies and games can seem flat and dull, especially when viewed in a dark room. The display’s weak point is its low contrast ratio and lackluster dark scene performance, traits common to most IPS displays. 1920×1200 resolution doesn’t stand out on paper but works out to 141 pixels-per-inch, which is plenty sharp in day-to-day use. It’s an attractive display, as well, with good color performance and accuracy. That’s a very high level of brightness for any laptop, making the Z16 a good choice for use in a bright, open office and also great for travel. It lacks the glossy coat of other models, yet delivers an excellent maximum brightness of 473 nits. Yet there’s much to be said in favor of this simple, 1920×1200 IPS non-touch screen.
