Thanks to thinner bezels and taller 16:10 displays, the new ThinkPad T series laptops fit more screen into similarly sized bodies to their predecessors. Depending on the model, T series laptops should hit up to 500 nits of brightness with 4K resolution. Multiple devices in the lineup support Dolby Vision HDR and feature low blue light technology. Resolution for the laptops maxes out at 2.8K, which is an option for the OLED display on the ThinkPad T14s.
Inside, AMD-powered ThinkPad T series laptops run on AMD Radeon 600m graphics. Intel models have up to Intel Iris Xe graphics with options for an NVIDIA MX 550 or RTX 2050.
If you prioritize portability, both the ThinkPad T14 and T16 will have options with 39.3Wh batteries. If you’re willing to carry a bit more weight to get longer battery life, models with 52.5Wh will also be available.
