Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 laptop Ultra 5-225U 8GB DDR5 512GB 16.0" touchscreen

ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 overview

This Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 is a 16.0 inch business laptop running Windows 11 Pro. It uses an Intel Ultra 5-225U processor with a 4.8 GHz turbo frequency and 12MB cache. The system includes 8GB of DDR5 memory and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. Integrated Intel Graphics drive the 1920x1200 IPS touchscreen display rated at 300 nits.

Suited for office work and mobile professionals

The 16.0 inch WUXGA touchscreen and 3.8lb weight suit users who need a larger workspace while travelling. Thunderbolt 4, HDMI and USB 3.2 Type-C ports support docks and external displays. The fingerprint reader and 802.11ax Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 5.3 meet typical corporate security and connectivity requirements. Buyers who want more memory or discrete graphics should look elsewhere.

Sustained load behaviour

The 65W Type-C power adapter and 48 WHr three-cell battery feed the Ultra 5-225U during extended sessions. Under continuous multi-threaded workloads the processor will settle at speeds below the 4.8 GHz turbo to stay within its thermal envelope. The integrated graphics share system memory, so prolonged GPU-heavy tasks reduce bandwidth available to the CPU. Fan noise increases as the chassis dissipates heat during long renders or compiles.
