Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 ARH laptop review: The Dell XPS 15 challenger

Now with AMD Zen 3+ Ryzen 9 performance. The 2022 Gen 3 model is a small update to the 2021 Gen 2 model, but some of the changes are significant and even unexpected. How much of a performance difference can users expect between the two models?

The 16-inch ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 is the successor to last year's ThinkBook 16p Gen 2. It comes with upgraded AMD Zen 3+ CPU options to replace the Zen 3 series in the 2021 model. There are other minor differences as well as explained in this review, but the 2022 model is otherwise visually identical to the 2021 model. We therefore recommend checking out our review on the ThinkBook 16p Gen 2 to learn more about the physical features of the Gen 3.

Our specific test unit comes equipped with the Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU, 90 W GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and a 165 Hz 2560 x 1600 resolution IPS display for approximately $2600 USD retail. Lesser SKUs with a 60 Hz display and a Ryzen 5 6600H or Ryzen 7 6800H CPU are also available.

Direct competitors include other high-end 16-inch multimedia or Nvidia Studio laptops like the HP Envy 16, Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620, Acer Swift X 16, or the MSI Creator Z16.

Case

Though the chassis is visually identical to last year's Gen 2 model, there is one easy way to distinguish the Gen 3 model from Gen 2: the presence of an HDMI port along the rear. The Gen 2 model carries no HDMI port in comparison.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
11.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 6 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 25 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
15.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7.2 ms rise
↘ 8.4 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 24 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is decent if under shade. The matte overlay and relatively bright 500-nit backlight help to minimize glare more so than with a glossy alternative.

Performance

 
 

Testing Conditions

We set our unit to Performance mode via Windows and Extreme Performance mode via the Lenovo Vantage software prior to running any benchmarks below. It's recommended to become familiar with Lenovo Vantage as it is the control center for updates and settings as shown by the screenshots below.

Processor

CPU performance is a mixed bag. Though the Ryzen 9 6900HX is certainly one of the fastest mobile CPUs from AMD, performance is essentially identical to the Ryzen 9 5900HX. In fact, it's barely any faster than the Ryzen 7 6800H. Downgrading to the Ryzen 5 6600H configuration will reduce single-thread and multi-thread performance by about 5 percent and 20 percent, respectively.

Stress Test

CPU clock rates, temperature, and board power draw would spike to 4.1 GHz, 77 C, and 65 W, respectively, when initiating Prime95 stress. The processor would eventually stabilize at 3.7 GHz, 82 C, and 54 W shortly thereafter. In comparison, the thicker Legion 7 16ARHA with the same Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU would stabilize at 4.2 GHz, 89 C, and 99 W when running the same Prime95 test.

GPU clock rates, temperature, and board power draw would stabilize at 1582 MHz, 69 C, and 69 W when running Witcher 3. We're unable to reach close to the 90 W TGP target that the system is aiming for even when on Extreme Performance mode.

Running on battery reduces performance. A Fire Strike test on battery power would return Physics and Graphics scores of 17799 and 10557 points, respectively, compared to 25683 and 19597 points when on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Consumption when idling on desktop would range from 10 W to 24 W depending on the power profile and brightness compared to only 10 W to 19 W on the Gen 2 model. Overall consumption is significantly lower than the Legion 5 Pro 16 which comes with the same GeForce RTX 3060 GPU but a faster Intel 12th gen Core i7 CPU.

We're able to reach a maximum of 182 W from the medium-sized (~16 x 8.8 x 2.8 cm) 230 W AC adapter when the CPU and GPU are each at 100 percent utilization.

Battery Life

WLAN runtime is about 2 hours shorter than what we recorded on the Gen 2 model even though they have the same 71 Wh batteries. The higher refresh rate of our display (165 Hz vs. 60 Hz) may be partly responsible for the shorter battery life.

Charging from empty to full capacity takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. The system cannot be recharged via USB-C.

Verdict — Consider Last Year's Model Instead

In review: Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 ARH. Test unit provided by Lenovo
In review: Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 ARH. Test unit provided by Lenovo

Unlike the performance jump from 11th gen Intel to 12th gen Intel, the jump from AMD Zen 3 to Zen 3+ brings just minor benefits at best. The fact that the Ryzen 9 5900HX in the 2021 ThinkBook 16p Gen 2 can perform within 5 percent on the Ryzen 9 6900HX in the 2022 ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 makes this latest model a tougher recommendation if processor performance is what you're after.

The changes elsewhere on the 2022 model, however, are well worth mentioning. The new 165 Hz G-Sync panel in particular is a significant upgrade over the 60 Hz panel for a much smoother gaming experience. We also appreciate the added HDMI port, but the move to soldered RAM might ultimately upset some users. We suspect that Lenovo opted for non-removable RAM in order to support a slightly larger cooling solution for the faster 90 W TGP GPU.

The year-over-year performance update from the ThinkBook 16p Gen 2 is too small to be noticeable in most circumstances. However, the new and more impressive 165 Hz display option helps to distinguish the ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 from most other 16-inch laptops currently in the market.

Users can save a bit of money and get nearly the same level of performance as the Gen 3 model by purchasing an older but visually identical Gen 2 version. Keep in mind that Lenovo is charging a premium for the ThinkBook 15p Gen 3 at the moment when compared to the competing Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 or HP Envy 16. The Lenovo model includes the 165 Hz panel option that's currently not available on the aforementioned Dell or HP alternatives.

Price and Availability

The ThinkBook 16p is not yet widely available through third-party channels like Amazon, Best Buy, or Newegg. We recommend purchasing directly from Lenovo who is currently shipping Ryzen 5 6600H and Ryzen 7 6800H configurations starting at $2460 USD.
