Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G7 IML, Ultra 5 125H

Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 review – Built to Work
Source: Laptop Media English
No surprises here, the Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 is as capable as its predecessor. It’s a good choice for people who need a capable daily driver or a standard office machine. The lid and the base are decently solid, and the input devices are comfortable. During heavy CPU loads, the keyboard doesn’t feel scorching hot and the fan noise isn’t intrusive. At the same time, the Core Ultra 5 125U can sustain a 2.90 GHz / 2.40 GHz P and E-core clock in long loads which is a pretty respectable result considering the single fan cooling. The port selection is more than adequate with its four USB connectors and the fine upgradability makes this notebook future-proof. The 1200p IPS display (LEN160WUXGA (LEN9156)) is suitable for such a laptop workhorse.

Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 Review

A brighter, more vivid panel would help considerably, but it would probably lift the ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 out of the economy class and into more direct competition with higher-end Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude, and HP EliteBook business laptops. But a display that's lacking but not terrible is the worst complaint we can muster against this system, which provides reasonable connectivity and an excellent keyboard in a relatively trim package for a big-screen machine. Keep its price in mind, and you'll be well satisfied, but just know you can save even more cash with the award-winning Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 5.

16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
