Performance scores
Modern CPU and maximum RAM, graphics off the menu
The ThinkBook 16 G6 (2023) at $466 prices about 57% above the business-class median, and the measurements explain the bet: an i7-1355U with 64GB of RAM — a pro-tier memory ceiling 60% above the class norm — against a graphics score of zero, below every measured threshold. The verdict labels it premium-priced for the class, and the sheet is honest about where that premium lands and where it does not.
A memory-and-processor purchase
Thirteenth-generation Core silicon plus 64GB is the strongest general-compute pairing in its price row: heavy multitasking, large documents, compilation and virtualization all fit comfortably. The zero graphics score is a data floor rather than a defect verdict — no GPU axis registered above threshold, so anything graphics-loaded is simply outside this machine's remit.
The price of newness
The trade is straightforward: $466 buys 2023 silicon and a big memory ceiling but no measured graphics and no reliability premium — the index sits in the same band as much cheaper stock. Buyers comparing against $300 machines with similar office scores should see this clearly as a pay-for-the-CPU-generation decision.
Youth depreciates fastest
From a $1,300 anchor the price has fallen to $466 at 10.62% per year — the steep slope typical of recent models — projecting to $372 in two years, a further 20%. That is the cost of buying young; the benefit is a machine whose capability floor stays relevant well past the curve.
What neighbors offer
HP's EliteBook 1040 G9 ($536) and Dell's Latitude 5540 ($524) ask more; HP's ProBook 470 G8 ($409) and EliteBook 840 G8 ($417) cost less with older silicon. The ThinkBook is the memory-and-generation play of this row — none of the four carries a graphics story either.
Bottom line
A honest pick for CPU-and-memory workloads on a 16-inch desk: newest-generation Core, maximum RAM, and nothing else claimed. Anyone expecting measured value beyond those two axes — graphics in particular — should spend less elsewhere; for the memory-first buyer, the premium is defensible.
