Lenovo only offers the expensive business laptop ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 AMD with 60 Hz screens

[Redaktion]

The new ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 AMD left a good overall impression in our review. The situation is a bit mixed for the display, because the 1080p screen does not consume a lot of power, but it is only a 60 Hz screen and there is no option for a 120 Hz panel.

120 Hz is an absolute necessity for Excel spreadsheets.

exactly, do they expect us to play doom inside excel on a 60hz screen?

I don't think this is a laptop for excel sheets, but rather for coding?

I have recently ordered a top version of T14 with AMD, I absolutely loved the build, but I had to return it, as I got a literal pain in the eyes from trying do code on an 1080p screen. I don't mind 60hz, that much, although 120hz feels much better, but 1080p is just not acceptable in 2025.

I think the real goal is that many business laptops are expensive by default so cutting costs on the screen can be lucrative for a company. Business laptops were last to get rid of 768p screens. Most aren't even used as laptops but as Minipc with a battery. The screen is just there if they happen to go on vacation/business trip and need to check stuff on it.
