Lenovo officially announced a new generation (3rd) of their most powerful ThinkPad P16. Some of the important changes:

- CPU up to Core Ultra 9 285HX

- GPU up to RTX PRO 5000 (Blackwell)

- 3.2K 120Hz Tandem OLED display option

- 3x 4TB SSD option

- RJ45 port is back

- A bit lighter than previous gen (starts at 2.4 Kgs)

- Thunderbolt 5 port

- Up to 196GB memory

The probable downgrade could be the switch from the proprietary charger to USB-C PD (which is limited to 180W)

Guess that might be due to EU, where mandatory USB-C charging[1] is extended to encompass laptops in February 2026.

Probably not the space for both?

You're probably right. But the issue here is that they are providing a 180W USB-C PD rather than 240W.

Yeah, that's a solid step down, and a bit weird given USB-PD supports 240W[1].
