Lenovo has unveiled two new ThinkBook models as it looks to exert its dominace on the business laptops landscape.

The ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 and the ThinkBook 16 Gen 7+ bring major upgrades over their predecessors, offering cutting-edge hardware designed for demanding users, but catering to slightly different needs, especially in terms of performance, display, and other key features.

Both devices come with a 16-inch IPS screen, but while the former supports 2.5k reoslution, the latter supports 3.2k - and both also run on Windows 11 Pro and offer a Kensington Nano Security Slot for security.

The ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 is powered by the Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100, an ARM-based processor known for its energy efficiency and connectivity, but able to hit 45 TOPS for enhanced AI performance.

The ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 also comes with up to 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM clocked at 8448 MT/s, which ensures fast performance across a range of tasks, and offers up to 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD, which ensures fast boot times, smooth application launches, and ample space for most needs. For graphics, this model features a Qualcomm Adreno GPU capable of delivering up to 3.8 TFLOPs.

The ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 offers two display options: a 16:10 WQXGA 2.5K IPS display with 100% sRGB color coverage and 350 nits of brightness, or a more modest WUXGA IPS display with a 60Hz refresh rate, 45% NTSC color accuracy, and 300 nits of brightness.

There's also an FHD RGB camera with a privacy shutter, ensuring security during video calls, and Dolby Atmos audio technology provides immersive sound through the stereo speakers.
