Lenovo has announced a refresh of the ThinkPad T16. Adopting a revised design that is also more repairable, the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 will be available in Q2 2024 globally with Intel Core Ultra processors and an optional 4K OLED display.

Lenovo has updated the ThinkPad T16 to Intel Meteor Lake processors. Now called the 'ThinkPad T16 Gen 3', the 16-inch laptop will be available with Intel Core Ultra processors, including vPro options. Additionally, Lenovo will sell the ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 in various configurations up to 64 GB of DDR5 RAM (SO-DIMM), 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage and an OLED display that outputs at 4K with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification.

Moreover, the ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 finds itself with a webcam shutter and a Windows Hello IR camera, which sit in an area that protrudes slightly from the device's display lid. Furthermore, the laptop has a pair of stereo speakers, a webcam privacy shutter and a Nano Kensington lock slot. On top of that, Lenovo will offer the laptop with 52.5 Wh or 86 Wh batteries, 5G sub-6 (eSIM) and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, plus the following ports, all within a 359.7 x 251.7 x 23.5 mm and 1.63 kg housing:

  • 1x 3.5 mm jack
  • 1x HDMI 2.1
  • 1x Nano SIM
  • 1x RJ45
  • 2x Thunderbolt 4
  • 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps)

While Lenovo has not confirmed full ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 specifications yet, it has outlined launch pricing in Europe and the US. Specifically, the laptop will be available in the former for approximately €1,370 and $1,219 in the latter, both excluding taxes. For some reason, Lenovo plans to bring the ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 to Europe in May but a month earlier to the US.
