Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 Gen 1

Strengths

The laptop comes with an aluminum chassis that is a total 180 degree turn from regular ThinkPads, it has a slim 15.8 millimeters profile and a weight of 1.81 kilograms.
The battery pack lasts for 20 hours of web browsing or 18 hours and 31 minutes of video playback, which was genuinely shocking.
The new rdna 2i GPU on the inside can game pretty well with even AAA games running at stable frame rates at low settings.
The laptop comes with up to 32 gigabytes of soldered LPD dr5 Ram that runs at 6400 megahertz in Quad Channel mode.

Weaknesses

The keyboard has not been updated, and typing is comfortable thanks to the clicky feedback but it doesn't have very long key travel due to the slim chassis.
The touchpad doesn't have a clicking mechanism instead using a haptic motor to mimic a click for both the missing buttons for the Red Dot and the pad itself.
The laptop's design has seen changes, but some things on the outside weren't looking that good either as the base reaches 48 degrees Celsius
The fans do produce a fair amount of noise as they do their best efforts in cooling down the chip
