Post by: Redaktion on March 25, 2026, 18:29:05
Lenovo has released a 16-inch ThinkPad in North America. Equipped with up to 128 GB RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU, the ThinkPad T16g Gen 3 also features a 99 Wh battery. Other markets have received variants with 192 GB RAM, though.

The review could mention it is physically identical to the P16 Gen 3, potentially with different GPU options.
Hence the capability is not completely new in those markets.

A single type-C will not provide the horsepower you would expect from 5080. I'd love to see if someone could try using DELL's 280w type-C charger on this Thinkpad, see if it delivers the power it truly needs.

I'm not spending this kind of money for up to 128 GB RAM. I'm afraid LENOVO u will have to remove the artificial limitation off your P14s and P16s laptops (look, I'm not even saying that u have to do it on your T14 series, tho it would be nice of course (but P14s use the same chassis anyway)).

The APUs themself support up to 256 GB RAM:

But what laptop supports up to 128 GB RAM or even the full 256 GB RAM, you may ask? FRAMEWORK (and Clevo and Tongfang):

(type "128 gb" or "256 gb" into each' search)
