Good Video as allways! I have got the z13 gen 2 flax with OLED, Ryzen 7, 64GB RAM and 2 TB NVme - so maxed out configuration - for one week and it is marvelous!! Reserving 8GB UMA Memory in Bios makes it even possible to play Horizon Zero Dawn with the Ryzen 7 Graphics. The Keyboard, Screen, Touchpad, Overall Material makes it the best Thinkpad I have ever used in my 20 Years Laptop History.
Finally the z16 gen 2 is here, would eagerly await the full review. Also, please share your feedback on the haptic touchpad. I believe this year it is made by Sensel, so pretty excited to know how it performs.
Thank you, was waiting and looking for it, appreciate if you can create another video comparing it to Gen1 to know what exactly is the difference, thank you
I will wait with putting the trigger to buy a new laptop, we hope we get next year the first exelite qualcom cpu inside laptops that will be game changer.
Hey Matthew. This is Mark from Sensel, the company behind the haptic touchpad in the Z16. To answer your question - yes, the haptics will work on Linux! In fact, all Sensel touchpads work with Linux OS. We have a mouse mode that gets activated on a non-windows laptop, which is similar to an external mouse. The only thing that doesn't work the same on Linux is not all of the PTP gestures translate, since that's a Windows thing.
The Z line of the ThinkPad is so ridiculously overpriced that it makes absolutely no sense when you can get the exact same CPU and configuration for a T14/T16 Gen 4 at half the price. You'll also get a more tried and tested line of the ThinkPad with better cooling, a better keyboard, and an anti-glare screen. I know it's not the super thin and modern bezel-less laptop but if a ThinkPad is what you need, then you're probably looking for a workhorse anyways.
I can't get my head around why Windows OEMs are so behind in design quality. Even a 2006 MacBook looks better than this when design is concerned. The only reason I can think of is that designers are expensive, and the design won't show up on the spec sheet, which is all Windows people care about. In that sense, it's probably a good way to reduce costs for your target consumer. However, it isn't going to get any Apple users to purchase it.
Exactly my point. i don't know why most of the windows laptops looks so ugly. Look at this for instance. There is a notch, there is silver colour on top, black inside and on the bottom. why cant you stick with a colour scheme and replace a notch. I have seen some good designs in dell precision 5680 and ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 but then there are some other issues. I believe there is no money being spent on R&D or designers have become a status quo.

Stylish design - love it- thanks for this video.

Was waiting for z16 gen 2 review, thank you
How is the Sensel touchpad?
There has been a lot of hype around this. Does it match the Apple Macbooks?
It's been a month since this video release. Is there going to be a review?
Thank you, was waiting and looking for it, appreciate if you can create another video comparing it to Gen1 to know what exactly is the difference, thank you
An update is coming soon
Is the battery good
I'm upset the 16in model doesn't have the bronze color option
I would love to see Z 16 Gen 3 with Ryzen AI

Will the haptic still work if Linux is installed?

@@SenselInc That's great to know, thanks!
@@matthewfernando6197 You're welcome!
No 120hz option!?!?!?!?
do they not make these with gpus? I took auto cad in highschool and everyone wanted this. But, how could it even be useful without a gpu these days?
For the price Asus G634JY-XS97 destroys it. It was $3200 on black friday.
This is on sale right now for $2800
