Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 (Intel) review – Great for Work, Easy on the Ears
Source: Laptop Media English
Overall, the Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 (Intel) is a capable business machine that doesn’t cost a lot. One of the biggest advantages of this device is the near-silent fan which leads to great comfort under load. On the other hand, the CPU clocks during short loads are decent but in medium or short stress, the frequencies are heavily reduced. But hey, that’s why the fan speed is so tamed! Despite that, the machine feels snappy for normal usage. Perhaps our laptop can show a bit higher benchmark scores if the memory works in dual-channel mode, but unfortunately, only one RAM module is installed. This brings us to the fact that the upgradability is on point – two SODIMMs and two M.2 slots for Gen 4 SSDs. The port selection is modern with its Thunderbolt 4 connector, HDMI 2.1, and an SD Card reader.

总的来说,联想ThinkBook 16 Gen 6(英特尔)是一款功能强大、价格不高的商务机。该设备的最大优势之一是风扇接近静音,在负载情况下非常舒适。另一方面,CPU 在短负载时的频率还算不错,但在中或短负载时,频率就会大幅降低。不过,这也是风扇转速受到控制的原因!尽管如此,该机在正常使用时仍感觉十分迅捷。如果内存工作在双通道模式下,也许我们的笔记本电脑能获得更高的基准分数,但遗憾的是,我们只安装了一个内存模块。但遗憾的是,该机只安装了一个内存模块。这也让我们看到了该机的升级能力–两个 SODIMM 插槽和两个用于 4 代固态硬盘的 M.2 插槽。在端口选择方面,该机配备了 Thunderbolt 4 接口、
Positive: Silent system; high performance; beautiful display; metal case; comfortable keyboard; rich set of ports. Negative: Mediocre touchpad.
