Lenovo has finally released AMD-powered versions of the ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 globally. For context, the company announced successors to the ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 (curr. $1,999 on Amazon) in March during MWC 2026. Then a month later, AMD and Intel versions of the ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 arrived in Europe.
Summary of Availability Across Regions
Now, AMD versions have joined Intel alternatives in Australia, Canada and the US. However, Lenovo has released different versions in Australia from those sold in North America. Currently, AMD versions of the ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 can only be purchased in North America with a Ryzen 7 Pro 250, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, a 75 Wh battery and a 500-nit IPS display that resolves at 1200p and 60 Hz.

At the time of writing, Lenovo charges $1,639 for this configuration in the US. By contrast, the laptop has reached Canada for CAD 2,279 (~$1,651). Unfortunately, Lenovo has not confirmed when it plans to expand configuration options in North America.
Regional Variants in Other Markets
Meanwhile, Australia has received Ryzen AI 5 Pro 440 and Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450 variants with up to 64 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage.
