Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 in-depth review

The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 is a refreshed version of last year's Gen 2 machine. The new one is offered with 15W (for better battery life) or 28W Meteor Lake CPUs (for bumped performance).

The list is long and it includes an IR Web camera, the keyboard's backlight, an NFC module, a fingerprint reader, a bigger battery, a Smart card reader, eSIM support, and a vPro CPU.

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
