You Spoke. We Listened.

You Spoke. We Listened.

We’ve redesigned the legendary ThinkPad keyboard, making it even better! Tactile markings on significant keys and an LED Braille dome to indicate the power port make it easier for visually impaired people to correctly identify. We swapped the locations of the Ctrl and Fn keys. And the TrackPad is now 115mm / 4.53". Our iconic red TrackPoint still lets you navigate — double tap to open the customizable quick settings menu to optimize audio-video settings (TPQM). We’ve also improved air intake and venting, resulting in a thermal design that increases performance.
Increased Use of Recycled Materials

Increased Use of Recycled Materials

Even with all its productivity-enhancing features, this ThinkPad was designed with recycling in mind. We used recycled post-consumer content (PCC) in various components, including 90% in the speaker enclosure, 90% in the battery compartment, and 90% in the power adapter. Keycaps use 70-80% PCC recycled plastic, while the keyboard frame relies on 60% PCC. The bottom cover uses 50% PCC and the display uses 50%. Plus, the packaging is 100% plastic-free and Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) certified.
Focused on Performance & Productivity

Focused on Performance & Productivity

Powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, the first generation of the 16" ThinkPad L16 laptop taps into AI-assisted productivity like never before. Enjoy optimized performance with workloads pushed to dedicated AI engines, which means you can conveniently multitask — even when unplugged— moving from app to app, without worrying about depleting the battery. Bump up performance even more when you choose Intel vPro®, which delivers multilayer security, reliable stability, and complete management for IT.
