[Redaktion]

Lenovo has announced a refresh of the ThinkPad T16. Adopting a revised design that is also more repairable, the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 will be available in Q2 2024 globally with Intel Core Ultra processors and an optional 4K OLED display.

We don't need slow low TDP or super hot and noisy Intel. And we don't need glare, flickering and quickly burning out AMOLED. Often with lower color resolution than declared.

Give us 4k@120Hz(<7ms G2G/B2W) IPS with 1500:1+ and AMD Zen4 Phoenix+.

Two memory slots, if you can't solder 256-512 bit HBM3 onto the board (it's Intel and AMD's fault that they still don't have support for 256-1024 bit HBM3, and x86 cores, which are increasingly being suffocated with monstrously slow RAM memory, for which both companies are adding an ever-increasing crutch - L3 cache, which is no longer useful) a controller along with chips of at least 32, and preferably 64 GB. Preferably with configurations from the factory of 128GB-256GB. But so far, RAM manufacturers don't even have modules for 64 or 128 GB. Strange, right? Zen4 Phoenix has officially supported 256GB of RAM for a year now - but there is still nothing to put in the slots...
Well, about the same as the lack of DP2.0 ports with UHBR20, which are the only ones in the world that support 8k monitors as of 2019. But there are no 8k monitors, because not a single video chip supports UHBR20. Even in Zen4 Phoenix.

That's all we need.

Plus a full-fledged keyboard with a full numpad, key travel of at least 1.8 mm and elastic tactile feedback. Just like the old Thinkpads.

And bring back at least one eSATA port - it is extremely important on laptops.

Will there be an AMD version? Otherwise I'm not interested

For fools lol, who needs to buy a 3.5" HDD is a real problem.

yeah for those guys from 2010 who still buy hdds

Yes, normal people make backups on HDD, idiots store everything in the cloud with a monthly fee, and then lose everything at once. =)

people make backups on ssd

and don't start on that "ssds wear and tear" stuff, i had like six dead hdds and one dead hdd part of fusion drive, and zero dead ssds - and i actually still have sata3 intel series 320 from 2011 and samsung evo 840 from 2012 still working, and both were and still are used as always on linux system drives, so they get their asses written over and over.
if you are worried about durability, just watch TBW and replace your ssds - they are dirt cheap now, using crappy slow hdds isn't worth it

But only idiots

[lmao]

But only idiots

and thats all you can say because you have zero arguments lmao

and i have plenty, afr is failure rate, statistics taken on a cloud storage platform:

New intel's ultra CPUs lineup are the same noisy, power draining and hot processors like previous generations? Does anyone has already experience with other manufacturers?
