The Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 Gen 2 incredibly solid metal machine with an eye-catching design and a modern but slightly limited port selection. The haptic touchpad is amazing while we were expecting a bit better keyboard. The Z16 Gen 2 impresses with a 15.8 mm profile. That’s great for portability since the weight isn’t hefty, especially with the top-end OLED screen. On the flip side, to achieve such compactness, the manufacturer has to make some sacrifices like soldered memory and Wi-Fi card alongside limiting the storage expansion to just one M.2 slot. The optional OLED touchscreen (ATNA60YV04-0 (LEN4146)) is a gem. It has a high resolution of 3840×2400 and it fully covers both sRGB and DCI-P3 gamuts.

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.
