Lenovo releases new 16-inch ThinkPad globally with Intel Lunar Lake and 32 GB RAM

Less than a month has passed since Lenovo released the ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 across Australia and Europe. Currently, these AMD Gorgon Point and Intel Panther Lake-based models remain unavailable in North America. In the meantime, the company has returned to its Gen 4 generation with Intel Lunar Lake-powered 16-inch models that it announced in February.
For context, these new Lunar Lake variants complement the Arrow Lake variants that were already available (curr. $1,199 on Amazon). Currently, the new ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 starts with the Core Ultra 5 228V, an 8-core that falls short of the existing Core Ultra 5 225U in our CPU benchmarks. Conversely, the Core Ultra 5 228V has the edge in GPU workloads thank to its Arc 130V iGPU.
Alternatively, the new ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 can be configured with the Core Ultra 5 236V, Core Ultra 5 238V, Core Ultra 7 258V or the Core Ultra 7 268V. Also, Lenovo offers its 16-inch laptop with LPDDR5X-8533 RAM, 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of storage and 52.5 Wh or 86 Wh batteries. One can equip the laptop with one of four displays, too. All are 1200p IPS panels though with 60 Hz refresh rates.
The updated ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 retails for $1,739 in the US and £1,409 in the UK with a Core Ultra 5 228V processor and 32 GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the same configuration starts at AUD 2,259 in Australia and €1,578-€1,781 in the Eurozone. For some reason, the laptop is not currently available to order in Canada.
