Found in: Work Laptops

Empower your productivity and experience enhanced performance for business level applications with the Lenovo 16" ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 Laptop. Sporting a compact design, the ThinkPad enables users to complete their busy work at home, in the office, and even out and about without compromising power.

Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H 16-Core processor, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 can handle your workflow with ease. The 16" IPS display provides a 1920 x 1200 resolution and wide viewing angles, all powered by integrated Intel Arc 140T Graphics. This laptop can connect to the internet via a wired Gigabit Ethernet LAN connection or Wi-Fi 6E. Securely log in with the fingerprint reader or facial recognition via Windows Hello. Windows 11 Pro is the installed operating system.

Connectivity
An array of USB ports enables you to support a wide range of peripherals. USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports sport up to 5 and 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds, respectively. There is one 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port that supports Power Delivery 3.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 technologies with another 40 Gb/s USB-C Thunderbolt 4 port that supports Power Delivery 3.1 and DisplayPort 2.1, allowing you to plug in external monitors for video support as well as other resource-demanding devices like storage arrays. An HDMI 2.1 video output expands your screen real estate and provides you with up to 4K resolution at 60 Hz refresh rate for a clear and smooth picture. You also get a 3.5mm audio jack that supports headsets and mics.
Enhanced Security Options
Ensure your information remains safe and secure with an array of built-in security solutions. You get a high-quality user-facing 1080p webcam with a privacy shutter to prevent unauthorized viewing. A touch-style fingerprint reader found on the power button uses biometric data to log you into your system quicker. A discrete TPM 2.0 chip prevents startup in the event of unauthorized access to your internal components. Additionally, a Kensington Nano security slot enables you to use cable lock mechanisms to prevent physical theft.
Windows 11 Pro
Microsoft simplified the design and user experience with Windows 11. It has a modern, clean design with a new Start Menu position. Snap Layouts, Groups, and Desktops allow you to multitask with ease. Microsoft has also integrated some of their apps, such as Microsoft Teams. The redesigned Microsoft Store makes it easier to look for supported apps. The Pro version of Windows 11 includes all the features that Windows 11 Home offers plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access.

Lenovo E16 G3 16" Reviews

Great laptop!

Great laptop, well built, has all the advantages of a classic ThinkPad. Was surprised to find this at such a good price. Can still use the FN Shift F10 trick to setup with a local account. Choose Update later when it prompts.

Nice Laptop, but...

Very nice laptop as well as a positive ordering and delivery experience. However, be careful as B&H sells this model without a backlit keyboard. My bad for not calling them to confirm this feature. I had already loaded software and started using it before I realized the keyboard was not backlit. Feel like B&H could do a better job clearly indicating this--YES or NO--in the Overview and Specs. But as I said, it is a very nice computer and would recommend it.
