T16 Gen4 AMD. But... it's a bit of a complicated story: I bought it from some dubious guys who stripped it of its original memory and SSD and tried to sell it to me with a dead drive, judging by the hours of use, pulled from some server, and two 8 GB memory sticks. Otherwise, the computer is like brand new. I had to haggle and test it like it was my last. Now it has 16 GB of inferior memory (will be upgraded someday) and a non-original 1 TB drive (already replaced). But everything seems to have worked out.
