ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 · 21WT001QZA
A bigger canvas for the working day.
Bring documents, spreadsheets and meetings together on a 16-inch, 16:10 workspace. This South African ThinkPad configuration pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 355 processor with 32GB memory, a 512GB NVMe SSD and Windows 11 Pro, with wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and built-in 4G LTE for different ways to connect.

Room to concentrate
See more of the document. Keep the numbers close.
The 1920 × 1200 screen gives documents and spreadsheets a 16:10 working area. Its non-touch IPS panel is rated at 400 nits, with an anti-glare surface and 60Hz refresh rate. A backlit keyboard includes a numeric keypad for figures, while the TrackPoint and three-button trackpad offer two familiar ways to navigate. The 45% NTSC colour specification is intended for everyday business work rather than a claim of wide-gamut creative accuracy.

Work, connected
From a desk setup to a mobile connection.
Two Thunderbolt 4 connections support compatible USB-C docks, displays and power. HDMI 2.1 provides a separate display output up to 4K at 60Hz; two USB-A ports accommodate existing accessories. Use Gigabit Ethernet at a desk, Wi-Fi 7 with a compatible network, or the installed Snapdragon X12 LTE modem away from one. Mobile service requires a compatible plan and coverage; no physical SIM is included.

ThinkPad details
Make meetings and sign-in part of the same flow.
A 5MP camera with a separate infrared sensor supports Windows Hello, alongside a match-on-chip fingerprint reader in the power button. Close the physical camera shutter when the lens is not needed. Dual microphones and two 2W speakers handle calls and audio; a 3.5mm headset connection remains available. Discrete TPM 2.0 is enabled, while this configuration is explicitly non-vPro.

Performance with a clear upgrade path
Know what is fitted. Know what can change.
The Core Ultra 7 355 has four performance cores and four low-power efficiency cores, with eight threads and a maximum P-core turbo of 4.7GHz. The installed 32GB memory uses a dual-channel LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X module running at 6800 MT/s, rather than conventional soldered DDR5. There is one memory module position and one M.2 2280 storage position: expanding either means checking a compatible replacement, not assuming a second free slot.
Power and ownership
A business specification, down to the support details.
This exact model lists a 60Wh battery and a 65W three-pin USB-C adapter. Battery life depends on workload, screen settings, connectivity and battery age, so results from a different ThinkPad configuration are not a runtime promise for this one. Lenovo lists a three-year courier/carry-in base warranty with one-year battery cover and an included three-year Premier Support upgrade; confirm the supplied serial-number entitlement and local service terms when ordering.
