Lenovo releases cheaper 16-inch laptop with 32 GB RAM and Intel Panther Lake
Lenovo has finally released its new ThinkPad E16 generation in some capacity. To recap, the company has just updated the ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 with Lunar Lake processors. Running alongside existing Arrow Lake options (curr. $1,299 on Amazon), these Lunar Lake models serve as cheaper options in Lenovo's 16-inch ThinkPad portfolio.
Now, it has complemented the ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 with Gen 4 variants. This time, Lenovo has switched to Intel's newer Panther Lake platform, albeit without powerful Core Ultra X variants. Instead, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 starts with a Core Ultra 5 325 and can be configured through to the Core Ultra 7 356H as needed.
Additionally, Lenovo offers its new 16-inch ThinkPad with 16 GB or 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage via an M.2 2242 drive. Moreover, the laptop comes with a choice between Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and 48 Wh or 64 Wh batteries, the latter of which is rated to last over 32 hours in official battery life tests.
By default, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 comes with a 1200p IPS display that peaks at 60 Hz and 45% NTSC, colour space coverage. Alternatively, Lenovo offers up to a 1600p and 120 Hz IPS panel with 100% sRGB colour space coverage and 400 nits peak brightness at its disposal.
Currently, pricing starts at HKD 12,074, AUD 1,862, MYR 5,745 and SGD 2,525 (~$1,976) in Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore, respectively. For reference, Lenovo charges at least SGD 4,092 (~$3,203) for the ThinkPad P16s i Gen 5 in Singapore. Eventually, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 should reach more markets with up to 64 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen when that will be the case.
