Ready to Work, Anywhere
We use the US Department of Defense's MIL-STD 810H to create a balance of reliability and durability for all of our ThinkPad laptops. Meeting or exceeding 12 standards, 26 procedures, and 200+ quality checks ensure that these devices run in extreme conditions, including harsh variables like Arctic wilderness, desert dust storms, extreme temps, pressure, humidity, vibration, and more.

Recycled Components & Eco-conscious Packaging
Even with all its productivity and collaboration-enhancing features, this ThinkPad was designed with recycling in mind. We used recycled post-consumer content (PCC) in various components. The battery pack is made of 25% PCC recycled plastic, which is a big step towards sustainability. The speaker enclosure is 30% PCC recycled plastic, while the AC Adaptor rocks a cool 90% PCC recycled plastic composition. Plus, the packaging is completely plastic-free and 100% recyclable - and is Forest Stewardship Council certified, so you can feel good about choosing this laptop.

Safe & Secure Computing
Biometrics provide extra protection on the ThinkPad E16 Gen 2 (16" Intel) laptop - from the optional fingerprint reader integrated with the power button to the facial recognition software that works with the optional IR camera. Our robust suite of security solutions, ThinkShield, includes discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) 2.0 that ensures the encryption of vital data. Moreover, it uses AI-enabled Intel Threat Detection Technology to proactively guard against threats such as ransomware and cryptojacking. With ThinkPad, rest assured, that your security and asset protection are our utmost priority.
