The Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 2 (Intel) offers a lot for its price. This includes a decently solid build, good input devices, and a surprisingly quiet fan during heavy CPU stress. Yes, that’s possible even when the Core Ultra 7 155H is under the bonnet. Just a quick reminder that this chip is the most potent option for this Lenovo series. Here, the processor clocks aren’t impressive but the device still feels fast and the comfort under full loads is great because the keyboard becomes just warm, not toasty as hell. We have no complaints about the upgradability or the port selection because of the two SODIMMs, the pair of Gen 4 SSD slots, and the two Type-Cs on the left side of the machine.

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.
