Lenovo has already released multiple ThinkPads this year. Of those, many have been 16-inch options, including the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 that landed earlier this month in some markets. Now, Lenovo has swiftly followed this release up with the ThinkPad T1g Gen 9 as a replacement for the older Gen 8 model we reviewed in January 2026 (curr. $2,599 on Amazon).

For the time being, the company is only offering its latest ThinkPad T1g in Australia, East Asia and Southeast Asia. However, a PSREF listing from earlier this year indicates that a global release is on the cards.
