Our take on the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 Laptop

The ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 is Lenovo's entry-level 16-inch business laptop, sitting below the T and X series. It pairs a large 16:10 screen with a full keyboard that includes a number pad, a business-standard feature set and ThinkPad build quality at a mainstream price. It suits office workers, students and small businesses that want a big screen and a real keyboard rather than a thin-and-light. Against premium ThinkPads it gives up some chassis rigidity, screen brightness and battery life, and its display and speakers are ordinary.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the E16 Gen 1 as a solid workhorse: they like the big screen, the keyboard and the easy upgrades, and accept that it is a budget ThinkPad. Complaints center on the dim base display, average battery life and the plasticky feel.

What people mention
  • DisplayCriticisedThe base panel is dim with narrow color coverage, which owners find fine for office work but poor for media.
  • KeyboardPraisedTypists like the key travel and the number pad, calling it comfortable for long sessions.
  • BatteryMixedOwners report it lasts a workday only with light use and drains faster under load.
  • BuildMixedIt feels sturdy enough for the price, but the lid and deck flex more than premium ThinkPads.
  • UpgradabilityPraisedMemory and storage can be swapped or expanded, which buyers value for extending its life.
  • PortabilityCriticisedThe 16-inch body and weight make it a desk machine more than a daily commuter.

Questions and answers

Is the E16 Gen 1 good for photo or video editing?
Only with the upgraded display option. The base panel is dim and covers little of the color gamut, so color-accurate editing is a poor fit. The processor and memory handle light editing, but the screen limits serious work.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
Yes on most configurations. The E16 Gen 1 has accessible memory slots and a replaceable SSD, so you can add RAM and storage later rather than paying for it upfront.
How does it compare with the ThinkPad T16?
The T16 has a sturdier chassis, brighter display options and longer battery life. The E16 Gen 1 costs less and keeps the keyboard and ports, so it is the value pick for desk work.
Does it have a number pad and a fingerprint reader?
Yes, the keyboard includes a number pad, and many configurations include a fingerprint reader built into the power button. Check the specific configuration for the reader.
Is it too heavy to carry every day?
It is on the heavy side for a 16-inch laptop, so it suits commuters who accept the weight for the larger screen. If you carry it daily, a 14-inch model is easier.
What ports does it have?
It offers USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and Ethernet, plus an audio jack. That covers monitors, wired networks and older peripherals without adapters.
Where is the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 Laptop cheapest?
At Storage Magnet, for $1,008.21, as of our latest check.
