ThinkPad price surge: L14 Gen 7 and L16 Gen 3 start at $1,440
Lenovo’s new ThinkPad L14 Gen 7 and L16 Gen 3—previously considered the brand’s affordable line—now start at $1,440 with entry-level specs, reuse older 2024 designs, lack 5G, and rely on 57 Wh batteries; they’ll be available in May 2026, signaling a shift away from affordability in the L-series lineup.
