My old Lenovo laptop with integrated can only support 2 external displays. Included laptop would be 3.

Need it to support another external display.

so would be displaying contents on 4 screens.

usage would be for trading purposes..

Prefer windows 10 or 11 edition.

Any recommendations?

All are Intel (no AMD SKUs investigated)

Thinkpad T16 Gen 3
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenov...tery-but-not-big-on-performance.921381.0.html
(Lenovo SG is not offering the 2560x1600 IPS screen for SG, only the 4K OLED screen option)
HDMI + 2xTB4
Has optional 5G WWAN modem.

Thinkpad E16 Gen 2
https://laptopmedia.com/review/leno...tel-review-great-value-for-a-quiet-performer/
(choose the 2560x1200 IPS screen)
HDMI + TB4 + USBC3.2 with DP1.4

Thinkpad E14 Gen 6
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenov...-lots-of-problems-on-the-E14-G5.927075.0.html
(choose the 2240x1400 IPS screen)
HDMI + TB4 + USBC3.2 with DP1.4

Lenovo Singapore lists E16 and E14 with higher resolution 2K IPS screen. For trading, this is preferable for me, because then I don't have to worry about chart candlesticks burn-in on the OLED screen. However if you're not a daytrader, then OLED should not be a problem.

In addition, Lenovo's Premier Support Plus now comes bundled with international warranty, for only additional small amount. But make sure to buy direct from Lenovo SG website. Example below taken from Lenovo E16 Gen 2 (total SG$1,898.81 with Intel Core Ultra5 125H with all other options maxed out inclusive Premier Support Plus 3 years + GST).

Premier Support Plus
  • All benefits of Premier Support included*
  • Proactive & Predictive issue detection and notification**
  • Designated Services Engagement Manager***
  • Accident Coverage* and Hard Drive Retention*
  • Extended Battery Warranty (up to 4yrs from PC Purchase)*

  • International Services Entitlement
  • * Dependant on market, parts, and HW availability
    ** Customer authorization and Win10 or Win11 OS required
    *** 500 unit minimum
  • 1 Year
    -SG$261.40 Savings of 65%-SG$122.53
  • 2 Years
    -SG$129.40 Savings of 65%SG$254.61
  • 3 Years
    +SG$13.68
    Savings of 64%SG$663.37

Most Thinkpads
1). charge through one of their USB-C or TB4 port. Hence either
  • a. your monitor must provide USB-C passthrough charging, or
  • b. you need to also buy a TB4/USB4/USB-C3.2 dock with passthrough charging + HDMI/DP/TB port. Otherwise, you cannot charge your laptop if you want to connect all the ports to monitors only.

2). have only one HDMI port. Hence your external monitors must have the newer generation Displayport 1.4 or 2.1 in USB-C style.

- laptop's own display

You can try searching to see if there is a similar model now
