MagyarLenovo ThinkBook 16 G4+ review: Good multimedia laptop with a lot of power
With the ThinkBook 16 G4+, Lenovo is introducing a 16-inch multimedia notebook with powerful components and plenty of modern features for an RRP of 1,200 Euros (~US$ 1,200). In addition to the latest Intel Core i7-12700H processor, there is the dedicated GeForce RTX 2050 from Nvidia, as well as modern features such as Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E or PCIe 4.0. The display is a matte WQHD IPS panel and there is a large 1 TB SSD, alongside 16 GB of RAM. Our review sample is a campus model without an operating system.

Case - Lenovo makes use of aluminum
Lenovo mainly uses aluminum for the case (i.e. the lid and base unit) and the surfaces are sandblasted as well as anodized. The smooth surfaces feel pleasant and convey a high-quality impression. Fingerprints can be seen relatively quickly, but can also be removed easily. Visually, the silver-colored case looks elegant and fits well in professional environments. The only visual accent is the two-tone display lid with two different shades of gray.
In terms of workmanship, the ThinkBook gives a fundamentally good impression, but there is still room for improvement. We were able to elicit quiet creaking noises from the base unit and the keyboard area can also be pressed in. The display lid proves to be more stable - we were unable to bring about any image errors, but the display clearly teeters when the opening angle is changed. A maximum of 180 degrees is possible and the hinges are well adjusted, as one-handed opening presents no issue.
With the exception of the Acer Swift X, the 16-inch devices in the comparison field are very similar in terms of size. However, the ThinkBook is a little thinner than most of the rivals at only 1.65 cm. The weight amounts to 1.82 kg, not including the additional 400 grams for the power adapter.
Equipment - ThinkBook with Thunderbolt 4
The ThinkBook 16 G4+ offers practically all the ports you could want. In addition to a modern Thunderbolt 4 port, there are also regular USB-A ports, a full-fledged HDMI output, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. There is even a hidden USB port under a flap on the right side, which conforms only to the 2.0 standard, but is perfect for permanently connected dongles, such as external input devices.
SD Card Reader
There is an SD card reader on the right side that does not fully accommodate the memory cards (they protrude by about 2 cm). We measured transfer rates of almost 90 MB/s via our reference card (Angelbird AV Pro V60 UHS-II), which puts the ThinkBook ahead of competitors whose card readers only function via USB 2.0.

Communication
In addition to the Gigabit Ethernet module (Intel I219-V), Lenovo installs the very modern Intel AX211E Wi-Fi 6E module, which theoretically supports the latest 6 GHz networks. However, we were unable to connect to the 6 GHz network of our reference router from Asus. Yet the transfer rates were very high and stable on the 5 GHz network, which is why there are no real limitations in practice.

Webcam
The ThinkBook offers a 1080p webcam with a mechanical shutter that delivers better images than previous 720p modules. Additionally, there is an IR camera for face recognition via Windows Hello.
Maintenance
The baseplate is fastened with a total of 10 Torx screws (T5) and can be removed easily. Afterwards, you are able to clean the two fans and access the two M.2-2280 slots for SSDs. The WLAN module is partially glued over, but can be replaced in principle. Only the RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded.
Input Devices - Multimedia laptop with an average keyboard
The dark gray keyboard offers a two-level white backlight as well as a dedicated number pad on the right side, although the keys are a bit narrower here. In terms of typing feel, the ThinkBook is more along the lines of the manufacturer's IdeaPads rather than the ThinkPads. Key travel is quite short, but at least the feedback is very precise and the keys do not rattle either. In our opinion, Lenovo wastes some potential here; there are more comfortable inputs if you frequently type very long texts. The power button is located on the right above the keyboard and includes a fingerprint scanner.
The large ClickPad has been shifted slightly to the left and, at 12 x 7.5 cm, offers enough space for pointer navigation as well as gestures with up to four fingers. This works very well thanks to the Microsoft Precision standard and the pad doesn't rattle either. The lower half can be pressed physically, but this is characterized by loud and cheap-sounding clicking noises, so you should only tap the pad (tap to click).
Display - Matte WQHD IPS panel
Lenovo equips the ThinkBook 16 G4+ with a matte WQHD panel in 16:10 format, but there are two different versions of the IPS screen. Our review sample uses a 60 Hz panel, but according to the spec sheet, a 120 Hz model with factory color calibration is also available as an option.
Our subjective image impression of the matte panel is very good. Content is displayed clearly, colors are vivid and bright areas are not grainy. We determined a very good contrast ratio of almost 1700:1 (black value 0.23), which certainly also contributes to the vivid image impression. Lenovo specifies a brightness of 350 cd/m², which our panel just surpasses. There is no PWM flickering and response times are inconspicuous, but there are clearly visible halos on dark backgrounds at high brightness levels. The viewing angle stability of the IPS display is very good, but HDR content is not supported.

* ... smaller is better
Our analysis with the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro 2) reveals a slightly bluish tint in conjunction with a color temperature that is slightly too cool. On the other hand, the deviations of the grayscale and also the colors compared to the sRGB reference color space are already quite low. If you do not want to edit pictures, you don't necessarily have to calibrate the panel, but there is still a lot of potential here and after our calibration, the results are much better and all colors are below the important DeltaE-2000 deviation of 3. Together with the almost complete sRGB coverage, image/video editing is also possible.

The matte screen surface helps outdoors, of course, and you can work comfortably on cloudy days, but the display needs to be a little brighter on very bright days.
Performance - Alder Lake & GeForce RTX
Testing Conditions
As usual, Lenovo offers its own power settings that can be set either via the preinstalled Vantage software or the Fn+P key combination. We have listed the respective TDP/TGP values for the CPU and GPU in the table below. We used the High Performance setting for testing.
| Performance mode | CPU load | GPU load | Stress test | Max. fan volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battery Saving | 64 -> 20 watts | 20 watts | CPU: 20 watts GPU: 20 watts |
30.5 dB(A) |
| Intelligent Cooling | 72 -> 35 watts | 36 watts | CPU: 24 watts GPU: 36 watts |

Processor
The Core i7-12700H is a fast processor from Intel's current Alder Lake generation that relies on a hybrid architecture with 6 fast performance and 8 efficiency cores. Thanks to high power limits, the performance yield of the ThinkBook 16 G4+ is very good and CPU performance is better that of the rivals. Even under sustained load, the processor remains at 55 watts and delivers good results. However, maximum consumption is limited to 70 watts in battery mode and then quickly reaches 64 watts, which is why the multi-core performance is ~12% lower when not plugged in. More CPU benchmarks are available here.

System Performance
In everyday use, the ThinkBook 16 G4+ is an extremely responsive laptop and given the powerful components, one should not worry about performance bottlenecks in the coming years. We were unable to run synthetic PCMark 10 in our review sample because it always crashed despite several reinstallations of the program and also of the drivers. This was the only problem we encountered during testing and the results in the other benchmarks are very good, as expected.

Massenspeicher
The ThinkBook 16 G4+ offers two M.2-2280 slots for SSDs, one of which uses a fast PCIe 4.0 connection, the other PCIe 3.0. A compact Micron 2450 (M.2-2242) is installed in our review sample, which is already a PCIe 4.0 SSD, but this drive is not the fastest, since the manufacturer specifies a maximum transfer rate of 3.6 GB/s. The end result is that you have a PCIe 4.0 SSD with PCIe 3.0 speed. Nevertheless, this presents no real restrictions in practice and performance remains stable even under prolonged load. The SSD offers a capacity of 1 TB, whereby 916 GB is still available after the first startup. More SSD benchmarks are available here.
