21SA000WZA
The Lenovo ThinkPad L16 Gen 2 is designed for modern professional and business environments where productivity, security, connectivity and upgradeability are essential. Its spacious 16-inch display, full-size keyboard and comprehensive connectivity make the 21SA000WZA particularly well suited to office productivity, accounting, administration, Microsoft 365, data analysis and hybrid working.
At its core is the Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 225U processor, featuring 12 cores and 14 threads in a hybrid configuration of 2 Performance cores, 8 Efficient cores and 2 Low Power Efficient cores. With boost speeds of up to 4.80GHz and 12MB cache, it provides responsive performance across professional applications and demanding multitasking workloads.
The processor incorporates an Intel® AI Boost NPU capable of up to 12 TOPS, providing dedicated hardware acceleration for compatible AI workloads. Integrated Intel® Graphics handle everyday professional graphics, presentations, multimedia and external-display productivity without requiring a discrete GPU.
The notebook includes 16GB DDR5-5600 memory in a 1 × 16GB SO-DIMM configuration. Two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots provide dual-channel capability and support up to 64GB DDR5-5600, leaving a second slot available for future memory expansion.
Storage is provided by a spacious 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe Opal 2.0 SSD, delivering fast Windows startup, responsive application loading and ample capacity for business applications, documents and professional files.
The 16-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) IPS display features a productivity-focused 16:10 aspect ratio, 60Hz refresh rate, anti-glare treatment, 400-nit brightness and 45% NTSC colour coverage. The larger 16:10 workspace provides additional vertical screen area for documents, spreadsheets, web applications and professional software.
One of the standout features of this configuration is integrated 4G LTE CAT6 mobile broadband through the Quectel EM061K-GL modem, complete with embedded eSIM support and a Nano-SIM slot. This allows compatible mobile data connectivity while travelling or working away from conventional Wi-Fi networks.
Connectivity includes Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211, Bluetooth® 5.3 and Gigabit Ethernet. Two Thunderbolt™ 4 / USB4 40Gbps ports support USB Power Delivery 3.1 and DisplayPort™ 2.1, complemented by three USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, RJ-45 Ethernet and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combination jack.
For hybrid meetings and collaboration, the ThinkPad L16 Gen 2 features a 5MP + IR camera with privacy shutter, dual-array microphones and stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos®. The IR camera supports Windows Hello facial authentication, while the Match-on-Chip fingerprint reader integrated into the power button provides an additional secure biometric login option.
The backlit ThinkPad keyboard with dedicated numeric keypad makes the L16 particularly suitable for spreadsheets, finance, accounting and data-entry workloads. Business security is enhanced by biometric authentication, an Opal 2.0 encrypted-capable SSD and ThinkPad’s business-focused security architecture.
Finished in professional Black, the ThinkPad L16 Gen 2 measures approximately 357.2 × 253.4 × 10.96/19.67mm (front/rear), with a maximum thickness of 24.75mm, and starts at approximately 1.79kg.
