Lenovo ThinkPad T16 G2 in review: Quiet office laptop with long battery life
The newest incarnation of the business classic bets on an established platform: Externally and internally, there are barely any changes compared with its predecessor ThinkPad T16 G1. Pretty much only the CPU is updated, from Alder Lake to Raptor Lake. The competitors are laptops like the Acer TravelMate P4, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 16 and the HP EliteBook 865 G9.
Information regarding the chassis, connectivity and input devices can be found in the review of the ThinkPad T16 G1.

Display - 16:10, low power, bright
Lenovo puts a matte 16:10 low power display (16 inch, 1,920 x 1,200) into the ThinkPad T16 Gen 2. On the plus side for this panel, there is no PWM, it has a good contrast ratio and a comparatively high screen brightness.
There are four screen options for the T16 G2. Most interesting seems the available OLED screen, which offers a higher resolution (3,840 x 2,160), better black value and a larger color gamut cover than the other displays.

* ... smaller is better
The screen shows a good color accuracy ex factory: With a deltaE of just 1.5, the panel is well below the critical mark (deltaE < 3). A calibration lowers the value to 1 and creates more balanced grey scale values. The panel pretty much covers the sRGB gamut, but not the wider AdobeRGB or DCI P3 gamuts. The same is true for most of the competitors. Only the OLED panel of the Galaxy Book3 Pro covers the DCI P3 color gamut.
The color profile we created is available for download for free. A link is available in the grey box above.
Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.| ↔ Response Time Black to White | ||
|---|---|---|
| 20 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 10 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 10 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 40 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms). | ||
| ↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey | ||
| 32 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 15 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 17 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 39 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms). | ||
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.| Screen flickering / PWM not detected |  | ||
In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The IPS panel offers viewing angle stability. Using it in the outdoors is certainly possible, if the sun does not shine directly onto the screen.
Performance - Lenovo laptop utilizes Raptor Lake
Lenovo continues to drive double tracked and still offers both Intel (Raptor Lake) and AMD (Ryzen 7000) CPUs in the ThinkPad T16 G2 - we are reviewing an Intel model. The available Intel models cost between €1,380 and €2,200 in Germany. The reviewed variant roughly costs €1,850, a mid range model.
Testing conditions
Instead of their own energy profiles, Lenovo ThinkPads use the Windows profiles. Depending on the chosen profile, the CPU/GPU performance varies widely. The profiles "best performance" (for benchmarks) and "balanced" (battery life) were used.
| Best Performance | Balanced | Best battery life | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Limit 1 (HWiNFO) | 45 Watt | 14 Watt | 11 Watt |
| Power Limit 2 (HWiNFO) | 64 Watt | 20 Watt | 11 Watt |
Processor
The Core i7-1355U (Raptor Lake) use two performance cores (hyperthreading, 1.7 to 5 GHz) and eight efficiency cores (no hyperthreading, 1.2 to 3.7 GHz). In total, there are 10 CPU cores with 12 threads.
The three energy profiles have a strong impact on the available multi core performance, while the single core performance that impacts every day usage is less effected. "Balanced" delivers below average (multi) or exactly average (single) performance. "Best Performance" delivers above average results.
The CPU pretty much performs identical in battery or plugged-in usage. Only when the profile "Best Performance" is selected does the battery life impact the performance, as the Power Limit 1 is set to just 27 W.
| Best performance | Balanced | Best battery life | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CB 15 (Multi) | 1.616 pts/1.210 pts | 957 pts | 595 pts |
| CB 15 (Single) | 257 pts/248 pts | 228 pts | 202 pts |
The CB15 loop test shows: sustained load results in the Power Limit 1 - as well as the clock rates - decreasing from the first to the seventh iteration. Afterwards, the performance is steady. "Balanced" only uses the CPU boost performance for a very short time, with the CPU basically reverting to base clocks for most of the test.

System performance
The system works without stuttering, providing enough performance for office and web-browsing and older games (low settings). For sustained load, the cooling system of the laptop is not powerful enough. Also, Lenovo wastes some performance potential, as the memory (16 GB, DDR5-5200) only runs in single-channel mode. By putting in a memory module to achieve dual-channel mode, performance can be enhanced.

DPC latency
The standardized LatencyMon test (browsing, 4K video, Prime95 CPU load) showed some DPC latency issues. The system seems to struggle with real time audio. Future software updates may solve this issue or make it worse.

Mass storage
A Union Memory SSD with a capacity of 1 TB (PCIe 4, M.2 2280) serves as system storage. It is fast, but not among the fastest SSDs. Positive: We did not detect any thermal throttling under sustained load. The ThinkPad T16 does not offer a slot for a second SSD.
