Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G6 review - The inexpensive multimedia laptop with a Ryzen 7000

More space to work.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G6 is a 16-inch multimedia laptop with an IPS display and an AMD Ryzen 7000 processor. At a price of US$900, you will surely have to make quite a few compromises but even so, it boasts a good keyboard and long runtimes.

The ThinkBook series from Lenovo consists of models for private customers (IdeaPad, Yoga) and models for business use. This makes ThinkBooks interesting for private users, for example those working from home, as well as for smaller companies. We have tested the current 16-inch model, the ThinkBook 16 G6, which can be found for around US$870 and features an AMD Ryzen 5 processor as well as a matte IPS panel. It additionally has 16 GB RAM and a 512-GB PCIe SSD.

Case & connectivity

The laptop's silver case looks great and its aluminum lid features two different gray tones in combination with big "ThinkPad" writing. This color scheme continues on the base unit (which is made from plastic) and only the darker keyboard and black bezels offer some contrasting color. All-in-all, the ThinkBook doesn't seem to attract many fingerprint marks. Its weight of 1.8 kg is average and none of the comparison devices take up too big a space.

Its build quality is fine and we noted no creaking noises, however, the base unit can be noticeably pushed in and the bottom cover is just made from rough plastic, which doesn't feel too great. The lid is more stable but twisting it leads to halos on the screen. In addition, our test sample seems to have a slightly dented lid, which you can see in the left image below. The hinges are set nicely and allow for a maximum opening angle of 180 degrees. Its maintenance options are good thanks to its two SO DIMM slots and one M.2-2280 slot, plus, the WLAN module can also be switched out.

The ThinkBook has USB-C and USB-A ports, meaning you won't need any adapters in everyday use. It unfortunately doesn't feature USB 4.0 but it does have an HDMI 2.1 output. The SD card reader accepts full-featured SD cards and its transfer rates of 80-90 MB/s are respectable. The WLAN module (MediaTek MT7921) supports Bluetooth 5.1 and WLAN 6, however, its maximum speed is limited to 1,200 MBit/s, as shown in our WLAN test. This doesn't lead to any limitations in everyday use. The laptop's 1080p webcam does its job and takes decent photos in good lighting conditions.

Input devices - Numerical pad and illumination

Lenovo has given the ThinkBook a keyboard with a dedicated numerical keypad — although its keys are a little narrower. Typing feels nice on the keys which feature a lift of 1.5 mm and even writing longer texts feels comfortable, however, our test device couldn't quite live up to the more expensive ThinkPads or a few Yoga models. In dark surroundings, a white illumination with two brightness settings comes to the rescue. The arrow keys are nicely sized and there are dedicated keys for up and down. A fingerprint scanner is integrated into the power button.

When taking into account the base unit's size, the clickpad (120 x 75 mm) could be a little bigger, however, it works perfectly fine. It is nice and smooth and our clicks were recognized reliably. You should probably just tap it rather than actually clicking it, as it lets out quite a loud and cheap-sounding click noise.

Display - Matte IPS panel

The ThinkBook 16 G6 has a matte IPS panel with an aspect ratio of 16:10 featuring a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels. Subjectively, this display looks good with regard to the device's price class — even brighter surfaces don't appear grainy. Its reaction speeds are unproblematic and it doesn't use any PWM. One problem, however, is the pronounced halos around the edges of the display.

Lenovo has stated that the screen has a brightness of 300 cd/m² and this was confirmed in our measurements — we noted a maximum of 310 cd/m² and an average of 290 cd/m². Its black value is at a low 0.22 cd/m², leading to a maximum contrast ratio of more than 1,400:1 despite its average brightness values.

* ... smaller is better

We tested the panel using the professional CalMAN software and in its delivered state, the laptop's screen had a bit of a yellow tint. Furthermore, it showed massive color deviations, making it clear that this is quite a cheap IPS panel. We managed to get the color tint under control by calibrating the display, but this reduced its maximum brightness by about 40 cd/m². However, the color deviations remained and together with its poor color space coverage (only 60 % sRGB), this makes the ThinkBook unsuitable for picture editing.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
23.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 14.2 ms rise
23.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 9.7 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. » 50 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
32.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 15.8 ms rise
32.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 17 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 41 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (32.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 8619 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Outside, the panel's brightness of 300 cd/m² makes it a little difficult to read from the display. The IPS screen's viewing angle stability is fine, however, looking at it from above and from a slight angle leads to quite a loss in contrast.

Performance - The ThinkBook with a Zen3 CPU

Testing conditions

The power mode can be switched via the Fn+Q key combination and you can choose between maximum performance (48/38 watts), intelligent cooling (38/28 watts) and battery saving mode (9 watts). The TDP settings differ significantly and you can easily use the intelligent performance mode for simple tasks; we used the maximum performance mode for the following benchmarks and measurements.

Processor - Ryzen 5 7530U

The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U offers six Zen 3 cores (max. 12 threads) — at the end of the day, this is basically an old Ryzen 5 5625U whose maximum clock rate has been raised by 200 MHz (max. 4.5 GHz). Its multi-core performance remains competitive and the Ryzen chip came between the Core i5-1335U and the Core i7-1355U in its competitors. However, the Zen 3 processor was clearly beaten when it came to single-core performance. All-in-all, this performance is sufficient for normal office applications and it also remains constant in battery mode. The processor's performance isn't entirely stable under continuous load, but its deficit of less than 5 % is very small. Further CPU benchmarks can be found in our tech section.

Austauschbare M.2-2280-SSD — Swappable M.2-2280 SSD

Our test device's M.2-2280 slot is occupied by a compact M.2-2242 SSD from SK Hynix with a capacity of 512 GB, of which 419 GB are free to use after first starting up the ThinkPad. Unfortunately, the PCIe-4.0 SSD is only connected via PCIe 3.0, but it resulted in decent transfer rates (max. more than 3 GB/s). Further SSD benchmarks can be found here.

Graphics card

An integrated Radeon RX Vega 7 takes care of graphics calculations — it had to admit clear defeat to the other competitors when it came to performance. The slightly dated iGPU is powerful enough for basic tasks including playing high-resolution video, but not much more. At least, its performance remains stable in battery use and under continuous load.

If you want to use the ThinkBook 16 G6 to play games, then you will often be limited to minimum or medium details — even when running older or less demanding games. Further GPU benchmarks can be found here.
