Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 4 Review (16" 3.2K 165Hz, i7-13700H, RTX 4060)

A review of the Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 4 business laptop. (Intel i7-13700H, 16GB DDR5-5200MHz, 512GB PCIe Gen4 NMVe M.2 2280 SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6, 16" 3.2K 165Hz IPS)
The Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 4 is touted as a business creativity tool. Packed with high end components like a 16 inch 3.2K IPS display, Intel i7-13700H processor partnered with a tasty NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4060. Is the 16p a multimedia powerhouse, mobile workstation, or perhaps a gaming laptop in disguise?

hello undercover Legion 5

[@matteoscopel8141]

By the way, it supports 64GB of RAM without any issue. Lenovo just recommends as maximum the amount of RAM they themselves offer for sale.

[@francokees1493]

wwow that cpu case right there its fire dude

[@journalistfahadiqbaljam]

From where do i get these types of wallpapers collection... Can u please share

[@tov.agoodman2828]

Hello! Does this laptop support nvidia g sync? Lenovo legion 7 slim with the same screen has g-sync support. And how critical is it?

[@Berecutecu]

Nice review. Do you mind maybe making a video with a tutorial to how to create the nice wallpapers that you are using like you showed in 14:54? What tool is that and how do you bring it your originality using Copilot?

[@paul958]

I am currently waiting for gen 5 version to launch.

[@ML-rt5me]

Hello! Which screen is better - this or xiaomi redmibook pro 2024?

[@Miomena]

How much weights the adapter? I tryed the legion 5 pro but 1kg additonal to the notebook is too much ...

[@kolumbssd]

Hey guys. Has someone used this laptop for programing? Is it good?

[@savant8029]

Wow, where are you getting those wallpapers from? The art is amazing

[@Berecutecu]

[@muratov6746]

Cpu wattage is limited isnt it sir?

[@Dare_To_Imagine]

Why is not possible to configure it with 32GB of RAM and the 165Hz display? The higher spec display is selectable only with with 16GB of RAM. Is it possible to upgrade to 32GB later on or there are any hidden constraint that prevent to do this?

[@Dovecomputers]

You can upgrade the memory to 32GB max. later.

[@vaheodabashyan6801]

Does the screen use PWM to regulate the brightness? I have really sensitive eyes. It would be great to know that it's flicker-free. Thanks for the review!

[@Dovecomputers]

It's flicker-free, it has the eyesafe and low blue light certifications on this panel.

[@vaheodabashyan6801]

Thanks a lot,@@Dovecomputers!

[@idealsistem8173]

@Dovecomputers nice review video. İ have 12700h Legion 5 pro. İ use it daily and stock trading apps. Do you recommend me to buy 16p instead of Legion pro?

[@Dovecomputers]

@idealsistem8173 I bought the same model for Adobe work before I realised there was the 16p available. Practically the same with RGB lighting. Looking forward to the 16p Gen 5 when it comes out towards the end of the month. Thinking of upgrading to this.

[@anonymlulz8273]

great for browsing on Chrome

[@njabulozimu7702]

The cheaper screen option, the WQXGA IPS screen being 60 hz is a deal breaker, better off going for the Legion Pro 7i and taking a hit off the build quality. Besides, for the same price, you can get an i9-13900HX and a 4070. The downside is that there is no metal keyboard deck, or fingerprint/Windows Hello but it's better in every other way. This laptop is a cash grab aimed at corporate businesses that specialize in creativity. It's cosplaying as a workstation and a gaming laptop because it fails at both.

[@LucianLatife]

Looks like a great laptop for Adobe Premiere Pro 4K editing

[@Dovecomputers]

You can't easily edit/encode in 4K PP with the ThinkBook 16p. 👍

[@drangertornado]

@@DovecomputersWhy?

[@srvbhmk265]

Is it overpriced?

[@njabulozimu7702]

Yes, very overpriced. It's mainly targeted at corporate businesses that specialize in graphically intense tasks. It's cosplaying as a gaming laptop and a workstation but it satisfies neither.
