With up to AMD Ryzen™ PRO R9 6000 Series Mobile Processor, the ThinkPad Z16 delivers some serious power—8 cores, 16 threads, and 12 GPU cores mean there’s not much this laptop can’t do. Enjoy our best videoconferencing, AI-powered audio enhancements, and epic battery life. Combined with the responsiveness of up to Windows 11 Pro, this powerhouse blazes through tasks lightning-fast.

The ThinkPad Z16 laptop takes sustainability to a new level with its sleek Arctic Grey 75% recycled-aluminum chassis. A glass haptic TouchPad rather than the mylar trackpad on previous ThinkPad laptops improves usability and navigation with increased size. Plus, packaging on the Z16 is made from a bamboo-sugarcane fiber that’s 100% rapid-renewable and compostable. Going green never felt—or looked—so good.

The ThinkPad Z16 laptop features a Communications Bar front and center. Sure, it’s got a camera—and with FHD infrared technology, it’s a really good one at that. But with adjustable settings, integrated AI-based noise-cancelling mics with Dolby Voice^®, and facial-recognition login capability, it’s truly a collaboration tool for interacting with the world. There’s even an e-shutter that turns off the camera with the press of a key.

Renowned for comfort and navigation, our ThinkPad keyboard just got even better. A glass haptic TouchPad. A dual-function TrackPoint that you can still use like a mouse, and you can double-tap to launch the Communications Quick Menu settings to optimize audio-visuals. There’s even a Dictation Toolbar for handy speech-to-text transcription—how’s that for taking notes?

All of our ThinkPad laptops include ThinkShield, a suite of security solutions engineered to safeguard your business. The Z16 laptop also includes ground-breaking chip-to-cloud technology with Microsoft Pluton, resulting from a partnership between AMD and Microsoft—working in conjunction with data encryption and biometrics. Plus, an electronic shutter controlled by the F9 key ensures the camera stays off.

Enjoy rich detail and colour on a gorgeous 16″ WQUXGA OLED display at 3840 x 2400 resolution with 100% DCI-P3 and colour calibration for work where every pixel counts. Or go with the low power WUXGA panel 1920 x 1080 resolution with 100% sRGB colours available—with or without touchscreen. All options include low blue-light display to help reduce eye strain.

We use the US Department of Defense’s MIL-STD 810H standards to strike a perfect balance of value and durability for our ThinkPad laptops. We test against 12 military-grade standards and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions. From the Arctic wilderness to desert dust storms, these tests cover harsh environmental variables including temperature, pressure, humidity, and vibration testing.
