Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 G1

Ultimately, a business-focused laptop is best for business-focused tasks. That rings true for this ThinkPad, which is comfortable dealing with apps, office work and most multitasking outside of content creation. If you want to break out of pure office gridlines, this isn’t the laptop to opt for, but if you’re looking for a largely desk-based workhorse backed with a great warranty then it’s a strong choice

This particular AMD configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is roughly as blood-pumping as watching a documentary on cellular mitosis. I really appreciate the quality of its keyboard and touchpad, yet I’m equally disappointed by its poor screen and embarrassing storage. If you’re a casual business user in the market for an attractive laptop that feels terrific to type on, $750 doesn’t feel like a completely outrageous outlay. Then again, the best business laptops offer so much more. In fact, our current number one pick in the excellent Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano is actually cheaper than the E16 at time of writing, as the Nano is on sale for $643 at Amazon — though that deal admittedly involves a third-party seller. As someone who lives and breathes top-tier display tech, hoo-boy is the screen of this Lenovo hard to endorse. As much as I appreciate the quality of its keyboard and the typing experiences it’s given me, I just can’t recommend this configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16.

Given its name, it should come as no shock that the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is essentially an enlarged version of the entry-level ThinkPad E14. Like the E14, the E16 is a basic business laptop powered by either Intel or AMD processors and is designed for essential productivity tasks at an affordable price. While the ThinkPad E14 is now in its fifth generation, the E16 is the first of its type. On reflection, it's surprising it has taken Lenovo this long to decide there is a market for a larger version of its entry-level laptop.

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.

As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
