Lenovo launches ThinkBook 16+ with Core X7 Panther Lake CPU and LPCAMM2-8533 memory at around $1240

Lenovo ThinkBook 16+ with 32GB LPCAMM2 listed in China

Lenovo has listed its first LPCAMM2 based laptop in China. The retail name for this laptop is ThinkBook 16+ (2026) and it includes 32GB of LPCAMM2 memory. This memory reportedly reaches the speed of 8533 MT/s.

LPCAMM2 is a CAMM2-based module that uses LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X chips, but keeps memory on a removable board rather than soldering it to the motherboard. JEDEC’s CAMM2 covers both DDR5 CAMM2 and LPDDR5/LPDDR5X CAMM2 in one spec, with a shared connector concept while keeping DDR5 and LPDDR pinouts distinct.

The main point of LPCAMM2 is combining LPDDR-style power characteristics with a serviceable module format. Retail LPCAMM2 is also starting to look more mature than early prototypes.

Lenovo’s ThinkBook 16+ (2026)

  • Memory: 32GB LPCAMM2, 8533 MT/s
  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra X7 358H
  • Display: 16-inch 3200 × 2000, 165Hz, 100% DCI-P3
  • Storage: 1TB SSD (M.2 2242), listed as PCIe Gen5
  • Battery: 99.9Wh

Beyond memory, the laptop itself targets a higher performance tier. The system uses a 16-inch 3200 × 2000 display with a 165 Hz refresh rate, paired with Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H Panther Lake processor. This chip integrates Intel Arc B390 graphics, positioning the device above typical business notebooks relying on lower Xe configurations. The specification also lists a 99.9 Wh battery, close to airline transport limits, alongside Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and PCIe Gen5 storage.

The platform also supports Lenovo’s MagicBay modular accessory system, which connects magnetic add-ons such as enhanced webcams, LTE modules, lighting accessories, or secondary displays through a pogo-pin interface mounted above the display. Lenovo has recently expanded MagicBay compatibility across newer ThinkBook 14+ and 16+ systems and opened the ecosystem to third-party accessory development.

Taken together, the combination of 32GB LPCAMM2 memory, a high-end Panther Lake processor with Intel Arc B390 graphics, a 16-inch high-resolution display, and a 99.9 Wh battery is unusual at roughly $1,240. At the time of writing, this configuration appears to be limited to the Chinese market, and Lenovo has not outlined plans for a global version.
