Although the majority of laptops in Lenovo's ThinkPad lineup are geared towards business users and enthusiasts who value robust notebooks, certain machines like the relatively unknown ThinkPad Z16 are also well-suited for users with a heavy focus on multimedia applications.
Thanks to a significant discount of 74% or $2,169 relative to Lenovo's unrealistic MSRP, the first-gen ThinkPad Z16 with the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850H and Radeon RX 6500M graphics card with 4GB GDDR6 VRAM can now be purchased for just $749 including free shipping on eBay. The 16-inch business laptop also comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, but prospective buyers should be aware that the memory in the Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 is soldered and therefore not upgradable after purchase.
Aside from this obvious downside, the Lenovo laptop showed some more strengths and weakness, all of which are thoroughly discussed in our comprehensive written test of the ThinkPad Z16 as well as the corresponding video review on YouTube. Even though we've encountered some issues with random restarts, we enjoyed the notebook's input devices and well-made chassis.
Furthermore, we praised the Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 Gen 1 for its decent webcam, speakers and battery life. The Full-HD IPS display with up to 400 nits and full sRGB colors will also meet the demands of most multimedia users. Considering the very affordable price point, the ThinkPad Z16 is certainly worth consideration for laptop buyers who are looking for a Lenovo notebook with a decent screen and performance.
