This budget Lenovo ThinkPad competes with laptops that cost twice the price

• The Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 6 has configurations that start at $800.
• It's a solid budget business laptop with a wide range of configurations.
• The display and webcam might not be good enough for most users, and opting for higher-end hardware can nearly double the price.

On the surface, Lenovo's sixth-generation ThinkPad E14 doesn't look much different from the previous model; it's a quintessential ThinkPad with the familiar red TrackPoint button and left/right mouse buttons above the trackpad in a compact, matte black chassis.

The E14 is a budget productivity laptop with a focused use case: the office. It brings many of the ThinkPad's unique features but keeps the hardware on the modest end, making it a solid workhorse for most workflows and a reliable laptop for teams that don't need high-powered, specialized devices.
