No longer affordable: Lenovo releases new ThinkPad L16 laptop internationally with up to 64 GB RAM and AMD processors
Lenovo has now released the ThinkPad L16 Gen 3 internationally featuring AMD processors. To recap, the company launched its ThinkPad L16 Gen 2 successor in April. However, it waited a month before detailing its new budget-oriented globally.
Now, the ThinkPad L16 Gen 3 is available to purchase in Australia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, the UK and the Eurozone. Currently, the 16-inch laptop starts with the Ryzen AI 5 430, a Zen 5 APU that should surpass Hawk Point processors found in the ThinkPad L16 Gen 2 we reviewed in February 2026 (curr. $909 on Amazon).
Alternatively, the ThinkPad L16 Gen 3 can be configured with the Ryzen AI 5 Pro 435, Ryzen AI 7 445, or the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450 and 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM. Up to 1 TB of M.2 2280 storage and 46 Wh or 57 Wh battery options are available too. Unfortunately, only 1200p and 60 Hz IPS panels can be configured with 400 nits peak brightness and 45% NTSC colour space coverage.
Pricing starts at £1,320 in the UK but rises to £2,869 in the laptop's top configuration. Likewise, the ThinkPad L16 Gen 3 retails for €1,399-€1,550 in the Eurozone, plus AUD 1,949, HKD 9,178 and SGD 1,746 in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore, respectively.
At the time of writing, Lenovo is not selling the ThinkPad L16 Gen 3 in North America. Previously, the company claimed the laptop would start at $1,440 in the US. Based on pricing elsewhere, the ThinkPad L16 Gen 3 will easily cost over $2,500 for some of its more powerful configurations, though.
