    Extended availability for a budget ThinkPad

    Lenovo has now increased the availability of the ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 to Europe and North America, meaning thier affordable 16-inch notebook is finally landing in these regions after a prior launch in Australia, East Asia and Southeast Asia at the end of May.

    Processor options and performance context

    The ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 can be configured in Europe with up to a Core Ultra 7 355 or a Core Ultra 5 336H. These chips shoud provide more power than the Core Ultra 7 255U-based Gen 3 model we reviewed in July 2025, though our benchmarks show that the Core Ultra 7 255H-powered sibling (currently $1,289 on Amazon) holds an edge over the Gen 4. Notwithstand this, the laptop also comes with these display options.

    Memory, storage and other configurable features

    You can get 16 GB or 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of M.2 2242 PCIe Gen 4 storage. A 48 Wh or 64 Wh battery is configurable, along with a fingerprint reader and Wi-Fi 7. Finishes include ABS or aluminium, but only in Eclipse Black colour. There is no mention of any other color at all sadly.

    Pricing and starting specifications

    In the UK, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 starts at £1,410, while Eurozone pricing ranges between €1,359 and €1,670, including taxes. The US price is $1,399 and in Canada it is CAD $1,939. All base models feature a Core Ultra 5 325 processor and 16 GB of RAM. Lenovo only sells a pre-configured unit in North America with 512 GB of storage, Wi-Fi 7, a fingerprint reader and its most basic display. Further details are available on Lenovos website.

    Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 Update and Context

Running alongside existing Arrow Lake options (curr. $1,299 on Amazon), these Lunar Lake models serve as cheaper options in Lenovo’s 16-inch ThinkPad portfolio.

    Gen 4 Variants and Core Ultra Configurations

    Now, it has complemented the ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 with Gen 4 variants. This time, Lenovo has switched to Intel’s newer Panther Lake platform, albeit without powerful Core Ultra X variants. Instead, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 starts with a Core Ultra 5 325 and can be configured through to the Core Ultra 7 356H as needed.

    Additionally, Lenovo offers its new 16-inch ThinkPad with 16 GB or 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage via an M.2 2242 drive. Moreover, the laptop comes with a choice between Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and 48 Wh or 64 Wh batteries, the latter of which is rated to last over 32 hours in official battery life tests.

    Display Options and Color Gamut

    By default, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 comes with a 1200p IPS display that peaks at 60 Hz and 45% NTSC, colour space coverage. Alternatively, Lenovo offers up to a 1600p and 120 Hz IPS panel with 100% sRGB colour space coverage and 400 nits peak brightness at its disposal.

    Currently, pricing starts at HKD 12,074, AUD 1,862, MYR 5,745 and SGD 2,525 (~$1,976) in Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore, respectively. For reference, Lenovo charges at least SGD 4,092 (~$3,203) for the ThinkPad P16s i Gen 5 in Singapore. Eventually, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 4 should reach more markets with up to 64 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen when that will be the case.
