For prospective laptop buyers who are primarily working with multimedia applications, high-end ThinkPads like the prestigious X1 Carbon (curr. US$1,213 at Lenovo) are usually not the most budget-sensitive choice. For this particular target group, the Chinese PC manufacturer has added the AMD and Radeon-powered ThinkPad Z16 to its lineup, which is now on sale with a significant discount.
This deal is available at Lenovo's official online store on eBay, which is where the ThinkPad Z16 model with an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850H octa-core processor and Radeon RX 6500M dGPU with 4GB of GDDR6-VRAM has been marked down by a whopping US$2,021 or 69 percent relative to the official list price. Consequently, the 16-inch multimedia laptop, which also sports a 400-nit IPS display with full sRGB coverage as well as 16GB LPDDR5-RAM, can be ordered for US$898 including free shipping. This is one of the lowest prices we have tracked thus far for the Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 Gen 1.
We thoroughly tested a quite similar configuration of the ThinkPad Z16, which was praised for its well-made chassis and fantastic keyboard and trackpad. We also liked the Lenovo laptop's matte screen, good performance and decent battery life of approximately 8 hours while surfing the web via WiFi. On the other hand, our specific test unit suffered from random restarts and high CPU temperatures. Nonetheless, shoppers who are still undecided with around US$900 to spend might want to check out our corresponding review video on YouTube, which illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of this all-AMD multimedia machine from Lenovo.
