From what I can tell from the two Lenovo products we have in the house -- an all-in-one machine with a stylus (for my daughter for art) and this Z16 ... Lenovo (esp AMD Lenovo) has a serious software quality problem. Everything from BIOS & drivers up to their awful custom packaging of Windows. I'm a Linux guy but I keep a Windows partition around and on both machines life got a lot better after I removed the stock Lenovo Windows install and got a fresh install on it.

But firmware has been a total nightmare. Just one quality problem after another.

But hardware seems good.

Never used to be like this. Had older thinkpads and they were great.

Still I should say I prefer working on my Z16 vs the HP laptop provided by work. It has a different bag of problems, and a terrible keyboard and trackpad.
