Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad E16

Lenovo is one of the best laptop brands, especially when it comes to designing sturdy business-focused laptops. The Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is a good example of that. It has an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U processor teamed up with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. For work purposes, I’d prefer to see 1TB at this price, but there’s always cloud storage if you deal with a lot of large files.

More of a highlight to the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is its screen. It has a 16-inch WUXGA display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. It offers anti-glare properties, 45% NTSC, and 300 nits of brightness, so it’s a good all-rounder. Its big highlight is its size, as it means plenty more screen space while on the move, which is great if you’re often commuting or traveling rather than using the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 at home where you can connect it to a monitor.

Above the screen is a 1080p full HD webcam with dual microphones and a privacy shutter. The keyboard is backlit and offers a number pad, and there’s a fingerprint reader too for added security. Each component is the kind of thing you’ll see from the best laptops. The laptop also has audio by Harman, and there’s Dolby Atmos support so it sounds good when relaxing with a movie or some music. The Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is also sturdy thanks to meeting the US Department of Defense’s military standards.

Normally $1,649, the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is down to $989 for a limited time only as one of Lenovo’s last minute Cyber Week laptop deals. It’s perfect for business plans or a student who wants something reliable. Take a look for yourself by tapping the button below.

macOS 26.2 puts a light trick on Macs, and it surprised me in total darkness
For the Mac warriors who prefer darkness, there's some useful light trick to hunt within macOS 26.2 update.
Edge Light on MacBook Air.

I just finished a group video call with my siblings in an utterly dark cabin surrounded by pine trees. And for the first time, I didn’t hear a complaint that goes something like “please turn up the brightness, I can’t see your darn face.” 

It was the same Mac as usual, my go-to video call app, and a familiar cellular internet situation. The only difference this time around was the new display-driven light fill feature that has arrived with the macOS 26.2 update, which is now rolling out widely to Mac users.

Google Lens is becoming part of Chrome’s native AI interface
Google is testing a new AI-powered side panel experience in Chrome
Google Lens brings visual searches to the phone.

Google is trying out a major tweak to how AI works inside Chrome, specifically by mashing up Google Lens with the browser's native AI side panel. Right now, this is popping up in Chrome Canary - the experimental playground where Google tests new features before they go mainstream.

The big shift here is that Lens isn't just acting as a standalone tool for looking up images anymore. Instead, it now triggers Chrome's full AI interface right in the side panel, blending image search, page reading, and chat into one unified spot.
