More than 24 hrs of battery life: The Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G7 demonstrates Qualcomm's efficiency
Microsoft Excel is one of the most important productivity apps. With its huge tables, it powers large parts of the economy. No wonder that laptop manufacturers invest a lot into this market segment, and serve it with 16-inch laptops with a numpad - which is needed to type in numbers quickly.
The Lenovo ThinkBook 16 is a classical example for this class of laptop. This is also apparent from the things it does not offer, like good speakers or a bright screen with good color gamut coverage. Both are features that a productivity-focused laptop does not necessarily need.
What it does need is a good CPU performance and battery life. In both areas, the Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 QOY does not disappoint in our comprehensive review.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus ARM processor, which Lenovo uses in this office laptop, offers a good processor performance, which especially comes out when performing native benchmarks. And the chip is extremely efficient: A low power consumption combined with the big 84 Wh battery enables the Lenovo laptop to reach a battery life of more than 24 hours.
This should enable even the longest Excel sessions. A full day of work, even with added overtime on top, is possible with the Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 Qualcomm. And despite this, the ThinkBook is not expensive, as it starts at well below of $1,000 (available from Amazon). This laptop is something for fans of efficiency, who have to use Excel daily.
