Biometrics provide extra protection on the ThinkPad T16 Gen 2 laptop — from the fingerprint reader integrated with the power button to the facial recognition software that works with the infrared (IR) camera. ThinkShield, our comprehensive suite of security solutions, is integral to our laptops. Features like discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) encrypt your data. Human-presence detection works with the IR camera to automatically lock your device when you move away. And with AMD PRO Security, you get real-time, full-system memory encryption via AMD Memory Guard — and more.

The ThinkPad T16 Gen 2 laptop features a number of environmentally responsible components including post-consumer content recycled plastic in the enclosures for the speaker, battery, and AC adapter. Packaging is 90% recycled and/or sustainable content, and the manufacturing process for essential parts uses low-temperature soldering. Available in Thunder Black or Storm Grey, both models feature 90% magnesium in the keyboard frame, while the Storm Grey version includes certified recycled aluminum (50% top cover, 55% bottom cover).

We use the US Department of Defense's MIL-STD 810H standards to create a balance of reliability and durability for our ThinkPad laptops. We test against 12 standards and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions. These tests cover harsh variables like Arctic wilderness and desert dust storms, including temperature, pressure, humidity, vibration, and more.
