The P16 mobile work machine comes with a revamped look. Normally the product line ThinkPad has its iconic all plain boxy edgy design made out of plastic. But this time around, the brand changed it with an aluminum build and with red accents located at the back which gives a gamer vibe.
The ThinkPad P16 arrives with a 16-inch display with 1920 x 1200 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. But there's also an option for a 3840 x 1200 OLED touch panel with pen support.
