The Lenovo ThinkPad L16 Gen 1 is a typical office workhorse. Luckily, its plastic chassis is surprisingly solid and light at the same time. The input devices are comfortable for work and the fan isn’t noisy at all even when the processor is pushed to its limits. The machine feels response for normal work which is due to the ~3.50 GHz / 3.00 GHz P and E-core clock in short and medium loads. The two SODIMM slots make this laptop future-proof and the port selection is nice as well with its pair of Type-Cs and three Type-As. Unfortunately, there is just one M.2 slot so the only way to upgrade the storage is to change the SSD with a bigger NVMe drive.

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.
