The fleet decision
Touch WUXGA or lay-flat 180° hinge
The 21MN00E7UK gives you a touchscreen and a 512 GB drive on the 125U; the 21MN00EDUK trades touch for a 14-core 125H with Intel Arc, Wi-Fi 7 and a hinge that folds flat to share the screen. Both keep two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots for mid-life memory upgrades. We help you split the estate by role and quote both in one order with volume breaks.

📦 65 W USB-C power adapter and power cable in the box; smart card reader and nano-SIM slot only on selected models.

Common questions

125U or 125H — which of the two stocked builds should we pick?

The 21MN00E7UK Core Ultra 5 125U is the 12-core touch build with a 512 GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6E and NFC — the pick where a touchscreen and larger drive matter. The 21MN00EDUK Core Ultra 5 125H is the 14-core build with Intel Arc graphics, a 256 GB Opal-encrypted SSD, Wi-Fi 7 and the 180-degree lay-flat hinge — stronger multi-core and graphics for the same 16-inch chassis. Both share the memory slots, keyboard and security stack, so a mixed estate stays manageable.

Is the memory upgradeable?

Yes. Unlike soldered ultrabooks, the T16 Gen 3 uses two DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM slots (dual-channel capable) and supports up to 64 GB. Both stocked builds ship with 16 GB, leaving headroom to add memory mid-life — a real total-cost advantage for fleets that keep machines four or five years.

What is the 180-degree hinge on the 125H build for?

The 21MN00EDUK folds flat to 180 degrees so you can lay the screen on the desk to share or review with someone opposite you. It is a lay-flat hinge, not a convertible or tablet — the laptop does not fold back on itself. The 125U build (21MN00E7UK) uses the standard clamshell hinge with a touch panel instead.

Does it have Thunderbolt and wired Ethernet for docking?

Yes to both. The T16 Gen 3 has two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C, Power Delivery 3.0, DisplayPort 2.1) plus a native RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet jack. That means single-cable docking via a Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C dock and wired networking with no dongle — a genuine difference from thinner laptops that drop the Ethernet port.
