ThinkBook 16 G6 ABP (21KK) Battery uses the highest quality graded and sorted ‘A’ Grade cells.
do suggest between E series and thinkBook 16
We currently have a review of the ThinkPad E16, so read both and try to see what’s more important for you. From our experience, ThinkPads and ThinkBooks are very similar, they just have different designs.
We have about 20 ThinkBooks at work and i am not happy with their robustness compared to Thinkpad L series we have. Electronics are ok, not that many more failures than L Thinkpads. Can’t speak for E series because we don’t have any.
What about configuration with core i7 13700H processor and 71 W battery, will it still last around 10 hours of Web browsing on a single charge or it is only true for configuration with Intel u-series processors and 45/71 W battery?
ja
Absolute non-sense battery review. I own thinkbook 16 with Intel u7 and it barely lasts 4 hours of internet browsing and all battery saving options are enabled. 7 hours is unachievable. This test is clearly faulty
trash, loud fans, gets hot easily
loud fans with having on old app that should be no effort for it !
bad quality!
