Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G6 IRL 16" Review

The Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G6 IRL is a big-screen business laptop with a touchscreen. It's built for basic office work, not for heavy lifting or fun. You get a 16-inch display, a 10-core Intel CPU, and 16GB of RAM, all wrapped in a package that's likely built to last.

The Intel 1335U CPU lands in the 31st percentile, so it's fine for spreadsheets and emails but will feel slow for anything more. The integrated graphics are predictably weak, scoring in the 18th percentile, so don't even think about gaming. It's reliable, scoring in the 75th percentile there, but the screen and storage are both below average.

At $920, it's a tough sell. You're paying for the ThinkBook name and the big touchscreen, but the core components are mediocre. For this price, you can find laptops with much better performance and screens. It only makes sense if you absolutely need a reliable, large touchscreen for basic work and nothing else.

The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 is a more compelling business machine in this price range, with better build quality and often better performance. The ASUS Zenbook Duo offers far more innovation with its dual-screen design for similar money. And if you need raw power, gaming laptops like the MSI Vector 16 HX blow this ThinkBook away for not much more. This ThinkBook feels stuck in the middle without a clear advantage.

Only consider this if you're a business buyer who needs a large, reliable touchscreen for very basic tasks and presentations. Students, creatives, and anyone who needs performance or portability should look elsewhere. There are simply better options for the money.
