Our take on the Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 9 16" FHD+ Touch Laptop
The ThinkBook 16 Gen 9 is Lenovo's 16-inch business laptop, built around Intel Core Ultra processors with integrated Arc graphics and a 16-inch FHD+ touch display. It targets small-business users and students who want a large screen, a full keyboard with number pad, and business-grade security without the ThinkPad price. Against the ThinkPad E16 it trades some durability certification for a touch screen and a more consumer-friendly design; against consumer 16-inch laptops it adds a fingerprint reader, a webcam shutter and more ports. Owners of earlier ThinkBooks praise the keyboard and screen size but note the chassis flexes and the fans get audible under load.

Questions and answers
- Is the ThinkBook 16 Gen 9 good for gaming?
- Only for light and older games. It uses integrated Intel Arc graphics, so demanding titles will run at low settings and frame rates. A laptop with a dedicated GPU is the better choice for gaming.
- Does it have a number pad?
- Yes. The keyboard is full-size and includes a dedicated number pad, which suits spreadsheets and accounting work.
- How does it compare with the ThinkPad E16?
- The ThinkBook 16 Gen 9 offers a touch screen and a more consumer-friendly design. The ThinkPad E16 adds ThinkPad durability testing and the TrackPoint, but usually costs more for similar internals.
- Does it have a fingerprint reader?
- Yes. A fingerprint reader is built in, along with a webcam privacy shutter for the camera.
- What ports does it have?
- It includes USB-C, USB-A and HDMI, enough for a monitor, peripherals and charging without a hub.
- Is the touch screen worth it?
- If you use touch for scrolling, marking up documents or presentations, yes. If not, the non-touch version is lighter and less reflective.
