Lenovo launches new 16-inch laptop globally with 120 Hz display and over 30 hours battery life
Lenovo has quietly announced the first Gen 10 version of the ThinkBook 16. For context, the company already sells the ThinkBook 16 G9 AHP, ThinkBook 16 G9 IPL and ThinkBook 16 G9 IRL (curr. $939 on Amazon) with AMD Hawk Point, Intel Panther Lake and Intel Raptor Lake processors. Now, the company has kicked off the ThinkBook 16 G10 series with Intel's Wildcat Lake architecture.
Specifically, the ThinkBook 16 G10 IWC leverages the Core 3 304, Core 5 320, Core 5 330 and Core 7 350, as well as up to 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. For reference, around a 25% performance gap exists between the Core 3 304 and the Core 7 350 in our benchmarks. Lenovo confirms that the ThinkBook 16 G10 IWC will be complemented with the following displays, too:
| Panel type | Resolution | Brightness | Refresh rate | Contrast Ratio | Colour gamut | Touch | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Display 1 | IPS | 1,920 x 1,200 | 400 nits | 60 Hz | 1,000:1 | 45% NTSC | Non-touch |
| Display 2 | IPS | 1,920 x 1,200 | 400 nits | 120 Hz | 1,200:1 | 100% sRGB | Non-touch |
| Display 3 | IPS | 1,920 x 1,200 | 400 nits | 120 Hz | 1,200:1 | 100% sRGB | Touchscreen |
| Display 4 | IPS | 2,560 x 1,600 | 500 nits | 120 Hz | 1,200:1 | 100% sRGB | Non-touch |
Moreover, Lenovo plans to install 50 Wh or 84 Wh batteries. According to PSREF, the ThinkBook 16 G10 IWC lasts 22.11 hours when playing 1080p locally stored videos at 150 nits. By contrast, SKUs with 84 Wh batteries boast 31.68 hours in the same test, which corresponds to a 43% improvement from a 68% larger battery.
Lenovo has not confirmed pricing information for the time being. However, early retail listings indicate that the company is on the verge of releasing the ThinkBook 16 G10 IWC in multiple countries. For reference, some retailers have priced the 16-inch laptop at around $1,429, €1,585 and CAD 1,872 with 16 GB of RAM and the Core 5 320. Please see Lenovo's website for more details.
