Best Intel Thinkpad T16 review on YouTube! 👍

3:53 Apparently that's not correct about putting a second drive in the T16. There is a Reddit thread that says when you try to add a second drive in this slot, it won't work and gives the error message " "unauthorized network card is plugged in - ... System is halted."

How's the thermals / heat dissipation..? And GPU performance?

Would have been nice for the author to do a quick review of the laptop as well. I mean the title does say "hands on review"....

7:08 — It seems that the buttons above the touchpad (TrackPoint buttons) of the T16 are now completely flat and hard to feel. That's sad.

Used my old T440p recently and was amazed how high travel the keyboards used to be even for the Lenovo design. Now they're approaching MacBook levels of low travel. Pretty unsatisfying. Glad they are offering an AMD one of these though.

It also has SIM card slot, i guess you forgot to mention that in the video

Is it possible to change the 52.5Wh battery to an 86Wh battery?

Any similar 16" laptop with numpad & weight less than 2Kg ?

The picture for the video (P16) does not match the model in question (T16). And I would like to see and hear more about the laptop itself. Disassembling laptops is the last thing I'm interested in, if at all. Nevertheless, thanks for the first real review of the T16 on YouTube. This is the laptop I would buy today.

That second slot is for a WWAN card (cellular modem), though I'm sure a drive would still work, but it's why the dimensios to fit the device is shorter then the actual SSD slot next to it.

So where did you get this model? You gave links to everything but the laptop itself.

Great to see the new hardware SOMEWHERE!! How was the new low travel keyboard? How were the new low profile trackpad keys?? This design is a pretty big departure for the T line so viewers will want to know...

05:32 it shows 32GB ram DDR4. So is it Thinkpad T16 gen 1 (that supports DDR4) ?

[chrisduhanci]

Anyone notice a significant different when swapping out the SSD?

[jamesblazen]

I have a Thinkpad W550S that finally went tits up. I wonder if this is a good replacement.

[jaymespayten]

Cheers Will. I've just ordered my 1260P.

[gfunkmoney]

How is the battery life on this? Does it include the 52whr or 86whr battery? Thanks!

[Deix]

Hi, great video! Is it possible to upgrade to the 86Wh battery? I think you're using the 50s.

ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 - Wired Ethernet Port Issue

I've had a problem with a new ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 (21BV000SUS). It was extremely difficult to remove the ethernet cable from the laptop. I tried several cables (relatively new Cat 6 cables) and each time the cable got "stuck". The size of the port just seems too small. It's much different from my old ThinkPad W510 and my other networking equipment. A Tech Support rep said that there may be a chassis issue with this specific unit. I hope it's not a design flaw.
