Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 Gen 2 review – Style and Substance, at a Price
Source: Laptop Media
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.
