Lenovo has announced a bunch of new ThinkBook, ThinkPad and ExpertBook laptops for business-focused customers. The ThinkBook gets two SKUs, ThinkBook 16 G7+ and ThinkBook 16 G7. Even though their names suggest a marginal differences, both laptops are radically different because of the silicon they use.

You can pair it with up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM, and 2x 2 TB NVMe SSDs. There is no option to add a dGPU, so you have to make do with the integrated Radeon 880M. The RDNA 3.5 GPU drives a 16.5-inch 3.2K 144 Hz IPS LCD panel that covers100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut and has a peak brightness of 400 nits.

For I/O, you get one USB 4.0 port, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, one 'hidden' USB 2.0 Type-A port, a HDMI 2.1 port, Wi-Fi 7 an RF25 Ethernet jack and a 4-in-1 SD card reader.
