Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 21MN005XGE
The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 G3 is the big guy among in the office: With a 16-inch screen, numpad and large 86 Wh battery, it is made to make people more productive. Sadly, the performance of this Lenovo laptop does not quite live up to our expectations.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 is a solid business offer. Its chassis is rigid, the input devices are comfortable, and you also get a 5MP Web camera with a privacy shutter. The device feels snappy even with the Core Ultra 5 125U which is the least powerful CPU for this Lenovo series. This is possible because processor clocks are high in short and medium loads (and still acceptable in longer stress). Because of that, the basic cooling is pushed to its limits and the CPU reaches 100°C after just 30 seconds of max stress. On the bright side, the fan isn’t loud and the keyboard feels slightly warm, not hot.The port selection is adequate with a pair of Thunderbolt 4s and two Type-As.

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.
