Our take on the Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 8 16" FHD+ Touch Laptop

The ThinkBook 16 Gen 8 is Lenovo's 16-inch business laptop, built around an FHD+ touch display and the latest Intel Core Ultra processors. It sits between the consumer IdeaPad line and the premium ThinkPad line, so it targets small-business and mixed work-and-home users who want a big screen and a full keyboard without ThinkPad pricing. Compared with the ThinkPad E16 it adds a touch panel and a more modern chassis, but it gives up some of the ThinkPad's durability testing and keyboard feel.

Questions and answers

Is the ThinkBook 16 Gen 8 good for everyday work?

Yes. The 16-inch FHD+ screen, full keyboard with number pad and Core Ultra processors handle documents, spreadsheets, browsing and video calls comfortably. It is not built for gaming or heavy 3D rendering.

How does it compare with the ThinkPad E16?

The ThinkBook adds a touch display and a more current design. The ThinkPad E16 keeps the classic keyboard and passes tougher durability testing. Pick the ThinkBook for the screen, the ThinkPad for typing feel and ruggedness.

Does it have a touchscreen?

Yes, this model has a 16-inch FHD+ touch display. The touch layer adds glare and draws more power than the non-touch panel.

Can I upgrade the memory and storage?

Most configurations have accessible SO-DIMM memory slots and an M.2 SSD slot, so both can be upgraded. Check the specific configuration before buying, since some models solder memory.

What ports does it have?

Expect USB-C with power delivery and display output, USB-A ports, HDMI and a headphone jack. That covers a monitor, dock and peripherals without an adapter.

Is it too heavy to carry every day?

At roughly 1.8 kg it is fine for commuting in a backpack but noticeable on long walks. If portability matters more than screen size, a 14-inch model is the better fit.
