A mobile workstation with disappointing performance - Lenovo ThinkPad T16g Gen 3 review

The ThinkPad T16g is a powerful mobile workstation from Lenovo that uses regular GeForce GPUs instead of RTX PRO GPUs. The new model (design-wise identical to the ThinkPad P16 Gen 3) scores points for its feature set, but possesses weaknesses, especially in terms of performance.
