Review

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). Also, these chips have NPU units for AI-assisted productivity (unlike the Raptor Lake-based previous-gen model).This time around, you can also pick a device with Wi-Fi 7 but this will cost you an extra amount of money. Speaking of which, there are a whole bunch of optional goodies. 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. If you order a laptop with all these features, the end price will be high but if you need these extras and money isn't a problem why not? [...]
