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

LG gram Pro 16

Strengths

The laptop has a lovely OLED screen, which is available in a base model starting at $2,100.
With the 3050 GPU, the laptop performed significantly faster in gaming, video editing and other tasks.
The laptop's battery life was pretty good, lasting 10 hours in video playback test and getting you through a full day with mixed everyday use.
The webcam is quite impressive, offering 1080p resolution, which is not bad even with changing lighting conditions.
The laptop's fans don't get overly noisy, and it's not going to be silent like the fanless MacBook Air.
The LG gram Pro 16 has a very good range of ports, including an option for USB-A, Thunderbolt, HDMI, and more.

Weaknesses

The base model with OLED screen starts at $2,100, which is a lot of money considering the cost of other laptops.
If you want the 3050 GPU, you have to double the RAM and storage to 32GB and 2TB, adding an extra $300.
There are cheaper OLED options available in smaller and heavier designs, making this laptop feel like a premium at its price point.
The MacBook Air lineup has been refreshed with better design, speakers, webcam, touchpad, and keyboard, making it a strong competitor.
While the LG gram Pro 16 is very light, there are compromises on weight and size compared to other laptops with faster GPUs.
The base model OLED version starts at $2,100, which may be too expensive for some users, considering the cost of other laptops.
