The Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 is a productivity-class laptop with a slim 12 mm profile and dimensions of 361 x 248 mm, keeping its overall volume at 1074.336 cm³ while weighing 1820 g. It includes a backlit keyboard for working in low-light conditions and carries a 3-year warranty. The laptop does not feature a fanless design, weather sealing, or a rugged build, and is not rated for harsh environmental conditions.
The ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 features a 16-inch IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, delivering a 1920 x 1200 resolution at 141 ppi alongside a typical brightness of 500 nits. The display runs at a 60Hz refresh rate and includes an anti-reflection coating to reduce glare, though it does not support touch input. It is capable of driving up to four simultaneous displays, making it well-suited for multi-monitor setups.
The ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 is equipped with 96GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6400 MHz across two memory slots, which also represents the maximum supported memory capacity. Storage comes in the form of a 2048GB NVMe SSD connected over PCIe 5, offering fast flash-based storage access. The CPU operates at speeds of 6 x 2.9 GHz and 8 x 2.7 GHz across 16 threads with multithreading enabled, reaching a turbo clock of 5.4 GHz, and is built on a 3 nm semiconductor process with 64-bit support. The GPU runs at a base clock of 300 MHz with a turbo of 2350 MHz, supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, but does not include XeSS (XMX) support.
In benchmark testing, the ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 recorded a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 17173 and a single-core score of 2897, reflecting the CPU's threaded and per-core performance respectively. On the PassMark suite, it achieved an overall score of 33969 alongside a single-thread PassMark result of 4472.
The ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 offers a well-rounded port selection, including two Thunderbolt 4 ports and two USB 4 40Gbps ports alongside two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, while there are no USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2, or DisplayPort outputs of any kind. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, and wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port. Wireless connectivity spans Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) down through Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Bluetooth 5.4, with AirPlay also supported. The laptop includes USB Type-C connectivity but lacks an external memory card slot and a VGA connector.
The ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 houses a 75 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is not in active use. It does not include a MagSafe power adapter.
The ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and a dual-microphone setup for audio input and output, though it lacks Dolby Atmos and an S/PDIF port. Security is covered by both a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition, while the front-facing 5MP camera supports video calls and conferencing. The laptop does not support ray tracing, DLSS, voice commands, or include an optical disc drive, and it has no gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, or GPS sensors.
The CPU is a laptop-class processor using a BGA 2049 socket with a 45W TDP, a clock multiplier of 29, a maximum operating temperature of 110 °C, and a 24 MB L3 cache, with big.LITTLE technology enabled and an NX bit present but no unlocked multiplier. It supports a broad set of instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, along with OpenCL 3 and OpenGL 4.6, while memory runs across two channels with a maximum supported RAM speed of 8400 MHz and no ECC support. The integrated Arc 140T GPU features 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 128 execution units, and the chip is built from 17800 million transistors. An overclocked PassMark result of 34411 is also recorded for this configuration.
