"I tested the 16-inch, loaded with 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, 512GB of local storage, and an AMD Ryzen Pro 350 CPU, running at 5 GHz, a solid configuration for a pro device, with plenty of bandwidth for multitasking, running industry-standard productivity apps, local AI tasks, and a nice selection of I/O."
"The laptop's flexible form begins with the selection of I/O ports. You've got two Thunderbolt 4 USB4 ports (both of which support power delivery and DisplayPort 2.1) with a 40Gbps signaling rate, an HDMI port, a nano lock slot, USB-A, a third USB-C port at 10Gbps, a nano SIM card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack. I appreciate when laptop designers differentiate port speeds based on their positioning, and this is a thoughtful example."
"The two USB-C ports on the left support DisplayPort 2.1, allowing me to connect my external monitors there while keeping my mouse or headset dongle on the right side. All three support power delivery. The laptop's physical design is as neutral as you can get, featuring rounded edges and a spacious, full-sized keyboard. My review unit had some physical de-seaming of the plate below the trackpad, which didn't enhance my initial impression."
A 16-inch business laptop offers wide configurability, with options for AMD or Intel processors and a focus on power efficiency, cooling, and performance. A tested configuration included 32GB DDR5-5600 RAM, 512GB local storage, and an AMD Ryzen Pro 350 up to 5 GHz, suitable for multitasking, productivity apps, and local AI workloads. The device provides abundant I/O: two Thunderbolt 4 USB4 ports with DisplayPort 2.1 and 40Gbps, an HDMI port, USB-A, a 10Gbps USB-C, nano SIM, nano lock slot, and 3.5mm jack. Pricing scales from about $849 to over $2,400, and the physical build is neutral with a comfortable keyboard and some minor finish flaws.
