This feedback can be adjusted to your liking, and I found that cranking it up when I was first getting used to it helped the transition from a traditional pointer. Instead of having the usual moving parts inside when you click, the haptic sensors mimic a click wherever you push. This entire area is separated from the rest of the keyboard surround, and you can immediately feel the difference. It's very likely made by Elan who also supplies the drivers.
It's worth noting that this is not the same sort of Sensel touchpad we used in the ThinkPad X1 Titanium or Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio. Part of the Z16's magic is a new haptic touchpad with full glass palm rests (what Lenovo calls a ForcePad). The top finish does a good job hiding fingerprints. It's considered almost sacrilege to alter the usual flat black finish on a ThinkPad, but the Z16 is all about making changes. The lid has an Arctic Grey color scheme, something that we've seen on few ThinkPad laptops in the past. The lid can be opened with one hand (always a sign of careful engineering), though it can't sit back flat. It measures 0.62 inches (15.8mm) thin, with a beveled bottom that makes it seem smaller than it really is. Despite the change in material, the laptop still hits MIL-STD 810H durability certification.Īt 3.99 pounds (1.81kg) the laptop isn't exactly light, but it's well balanced and slim. Its body is made primarily of 75% post-consumer recycled aluminum instead of the more common carbon fiber and magnesium alloy, giving it a heavier but sturdier feel. The Z16 is the first of its generation, and it's quite a departure from the usual ThinkPad design. The ThinkPad series turned 30 this year, and Lenovo chose to mark the anniversary in part by launching the new Z series.
