New Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 and T16 Gen 5 come with 75 Wh battery, Intel Panther Lake or AMD Gorgon Point
Whenever you are looking for a business laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad T series should definitely be on your list. This laptop series spans a history of more than a quarter century, as the original ThinkPad T was introduced by IBM in the year 2000. Today's owner of the brand, Lenovo, is introducing the newest version of the ThinkPad T series at the Mobile World Congress 2026, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 and the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 5.
With the new generation, Lenovo is redesigning both models. While the black versions look fairly similar to their predecessors, there is a new color option: The T14 Gen 7 will be available in a new "Cosmic Blue" color, while the dark grey color option previously available is no longer there. Additionally, Lenovo has changed the hinge design, opting for a wider hinge that seems to be getting more and more common on modern ThinkPad laptops. Plus, the keyboard lettering has changed.
The more significant design changes are happening on the inside. Both the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G7 and the ThinkPad T16 G5 will come with the newest processors from Intel and AMD, namely Intel Panther Lake, Core Ultra 300, and AMD Gorgon Point, Ryzen AI 400. All versions have upgradeable RAM, but significantly, the Intel ThinkPads use LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X memory for the first time - the AMD models on the other hand utilize more mundane SO-DIMM RAM. Both top out at 64 GB.
These are not the only changes, as Lenovo also promises a better repairability, which includes modular USB-C charging ports as well as an internal battery that can be removed by pushing two small release buttons. Additionally, components like the SSD and 5G card are still modular as well, and the keyboard remains easily user replaceable. Lenovo also promises that the bottom cover is easier to remove than before.
The biggest change is the battery for the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7: Lenovo increases the battery capacity, from a maximum of 57 Wh on last years T14 Gen 6 (available on Amazon) to 75 Wh on the 14-inch new model. The same maximum capacity also applies to the bigger T16 Gen 5, which is a step down for the bigger 16-inch model (T16 Gen 4: 86 Wh).
In terms of ports, there is little difference, as both models retain their legacy ports, which still includes RJ45-Ethernet, HDMI and two USB-A ports, and two Thunderbolt 4 connectors. When it comes to screens, Lenovo largely continues with last year's offerings, although there is a new 2.8K OLED option on the 16-inch model.
