Product specifications
Powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, the first generation of the 16" ThinkPad L16 laptop taps into AI-assisted productivity like never before. Enjoy optimized performance with workloads pushed to dedicated AI engines, which means you can conveniently multitask €” even when unplugged €” moving from app to app, without worrying about depleting the battery. Bump up performance even more when you choose Intel vPro , which delivers multilayer security, reliable stability, and complete management for IT.
Increased Use of Recycled Materials
Even with all its productivity-enhancing features, this ThinkPad was designed with recycling in mind. We used recycled post-consumer content (PCC) in various components, including 90% in the speaker enclosure, 90% in the battery compartment, and 90% in the power adapter. Keycaps use 70-80% PCC recycled plastic, while the keyboard frame relies on 60% PCC. The bottom cover uses 50% PCC and the display uses 50%. Plus, the packaging is 100% plastic-free and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.
Power Collaborations on Dazzling Display
Dive into smart digital collaboration with our vibrant display options. Revel in the vast screen real estate, offering an immersive meeting platform. Prioritizing your eye health, we have even dialed down blue light emissions.

Plus, the conversations are crystal clear with suppressed background noise, thanks to Dolby Voice and bigger speakers boosting the audio experience with Dolby Audio .
You Spoke. We Listened.
We €™ve redesigned the legendary ThinkPad keyboard, making it even better! Tactile markings on significant keys and an LED Braille dome to indicate the power port make it easier for visually impaired people to correctly identify. We swapped the locations of the Ctrl and Fn keys. And the TrackPad is now 115mm / 4.53". Our iconic red TrackPoint still lets you navigate €” double tap to open the customizable quick settings menu to optimize audio-video settings (TPQM). We €™ve also improved air intake and venting, resulting in a thermal design that increases performance.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Access the ThinkPad L16 laptop securely with the fingerprint reader or zero-touch facial recognition using the optional infrared camera. The added protection of ThinkShield, our suite of hardware and software components, also includes discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM), Microsoft Secured-core PC enablement (on select models), and a self-healing BIOS. Choose the Intel vPro platform with multilayer security like integrated Intel Hardware Shield to steer clear of cyberattacks and ransomware. With ThinkPad, you can trust that we €™ve got you covered.
