Our take on the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 16" Laptop

The ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 is Lenovo's entry-level 16-inch business laptop. It pairs a 13th-gen Intel Core i7-1355U with 16 GB of DDR4 and a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and puts them behind a 16-inch 1920x1200 anti-glare IPS screen with a taller 16:10 shape. The draw is ThinkPad typing, a backlit keyboard, Ethernet and Windows 11 Pro in a larger screen for spreadsheet and document work. Against premium ThinkPads it gives up the magnesium chassis, the best panels and battery life, and its U-series chip and Iris Xe graphics suit office work rather than heavy creative or gaming loads.

Questions and answers

Is the Core i7-1355U fast enough for everyday work?
Yes for office apps, browsing, spreadsheets and video calls. It is a 10-core U-series chip, so sustained heavy rendering or gaming will throttle and is better left to H-series or discrete-GPU laptops.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
The E16 Gen 1 has two SO-DIMM slots and a single M.2 slot, so memory and the SSD can be replaced. Check the exact model's service manual before buying parts.
Is the 16-inch screen good for outdoor use?
The anti-glare IPS panel reduces reflections, but brightness is typical for the class, so bright sunlight will still wash it out.
Does it have a numpad and Ethernet?
The 16-inch chassis fits a full keyboard with a number pad, and there is a built-in RJ-45 Ethernet port alongside Wi-Fi 6.
How does it compare with the ThinkPad T16?
The T16 has a stronger chassis, better panel options and longer battery life. The E16 Gen 1 covers the same screen size and office performance for less.
What comes in the box?
The laptop, its power adapter and the standard documentation. It ships with Windows 11 Pro installed.
