This year ThinkPad celebrates 30 full revolutions around the sun. And while we believe it’s important to acknowledge your history with any major occasion, we find the more intriguing approach is to look forward. To ask, where will you go? What will you accomplish?
Meet the
Z13 is a 13.3" ultramobile business device, while Z16 is a 16" performance powerhouse.
Both laptops run on Windows 11 and boast AMD Ryzen™ PRO technology.
Z Series is ThinkPad through and through, built on the same core pillars of trusted quality, purposeful design, and relentless innovation.
But it’s so much more than that.
ThinkPad Z Series doesn't just look to the future.
It empowers you to reimagine it.
Reimagine.
For those who demand change for the success of the planet, we’ve done just that. Z Series is engineered sustainably.
Recycled Vegan Leather.
Recycled Aluminum.
Glass ForcePad.
Even the packaging is 100% rapid-renewable and compostable.
Sure it looks good. And it feels even better.
Collaborate with the world.
The Communications Bar isn't just a camera—but for sure it has the best FHD webcam on any ThinkPad to date. It's a way to experience your surroundings.
Explore.
Capture.
Create.
Engage with the world from anywhere in the world.
Meet your colleagues right in your local café or at your kitchen table—no matter if they're physically in Mozambique or Bangalore or San Francisco. Combined with a Dolby Atmos® Speaker System, the Communications Bar extends a world of inspiration and collaboration to wherever you are.
Meet a real game-changer.
There was only one thing to do when we hit a milestone like 30 years. And that was to look ahead to what's next and reimagine it, without limits.
Even breaking out beyond the traditional black box.
Even beyond the classic red nub.
Why?
Because we can't wait to see what you do next with it.
Enter the evolution of the TrackPoint.
Just double-tap to launch a quick menu. Adjust the contrast or the brightness on the Communications Bar. Optimize the mic for your environment and enjoy enhanced experiences powered by Dolby Voice®. Set notifications to warn about speaking when muted.
Even access a Dictation Toolbar for convenient speech-to-text transcription—how's that for creating meeting minutes?
Of course, you can stay old school and use the TrackPoint as your primacy navigation—we're not taking away functionality, just enhancing it.
ThinkPad Z Series makes it so easy to work from anywhere.
With the Z13 starting at just 2.78lbs, this lightweight device goes everywhere your work calls you—and it’s built to endure. Both Z Series laptops are tested against 12 military-grade standards and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions—from desert dust storms to the Arctic wilderness to zero-gravity—so you can trust the quality.

Ground-breaking security.
Built-in hardware and software security in the ThinkPad Z Series works to protect your system and your critical info. The Z13 and the Z16 laptops are the first in the industry to implement a security processor that’s embedded in the CPU, which helps to eliminate exposure to threats and prevent physical attacks. This new chip-to-cloud technology security is the result of a partnership between Microsoft and AMD that works in conjunction with data encryption and biometric safeguards as unique as your individual DNA.
Our security works behind the scenes so you can focus on the important work of doing something amazing with your Z Series laptop.
