Inside Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 – disassembly and upgrade options
Most ThinkPad laptops offer good upgradeability. While you are provided with some options to expand the memory and the storage, we would have liked to see more.
Check out all Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-Depth review.
1. Remove the bottom plate
To access this laptop’s internals, you need to undo 8 captive Phillips-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, and lift it away from the chassis.
2. Battery
Inside, we find an 86Wh battery pack. It lasts for more than 14 hours of Web browsing, or more than 9 hours of video playback on a single charge. To take it out, undo all 6 Phillips-head screws keeping it attached to the chassis.
3. Memory and storage
Memory-wise, you get either 8 or 16GB of DDR4 memory soldered to the motherboard. You can further expand it by up to 32GB of RAM via the single SODIMM slot. As for the storage, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which fits Gen 4 drives.
4. Cooling system
The cooling here comprises one thin and one thick heat pipe. They are both shared by the CPU and the GPU. Interestingly, the fan and the heat sink are placed at some distance from the side vent probably to save on some precious copper.
