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.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
