This is a very good laptop at a fair price that will meet the needs of most people in most situations. I purchased it primarily for work and school, and it fills those roles well. Especially with the new aspect ratio for the screen (16:10 vs. the old 16:9), I feel a big change from the widescreen standard of yesteryear. I like too that the shutters are standard, and though I am a bit paranoid regarding staying connected due to privacy I can appreciate the thought and effort Lenovo has put into designing the extra features the camera and other peripherals support (face recognition etc.).My biggest qualm about this machine is that the batter lasts about 10 hours, which is as long as my 8 year old X240 which has never had the battery replaced.

So it's not designed to be an entirely portable, on-the-go machine, but it will survive while out and about. And the fact that there is still an upgradeable RAM slot in 2022 on the board means I see this as an investment well worth the cost. Kudos to Lenovo for another great design!

I purchased this ThinkPad as a replacement for my wife's current daily-use computer. The first thing I did was to shrink the space allocated for Windows 11 and install Ubuntu MATE 22.04 as the primary operating system. There were no issues at all with the Ubuntu MATE install. A couple of the special keys (eg display brightness up/down) are not currently working but that is easily taken care of with a MATE applet. The laptop is more than fast enough for the purpose intended. The screen is sharp, bright and large given the overall dimensions of the laptop. Because the keys on the keyboard (US standard) are slightly sculpted, typing is more comfortable than flat keys (in my and my wife's opinion). The build quality of the laptop appears quite solid.

The performance on this is great. I had a newer Intel laptop that I didn't like because Intel has been doing terrible with laptop CPUs lately. They gained performance by just running hotter and wasting battery. This is the only line with AMD unfortunately, otherwise I would have looked at the X1 Carbon line, maybe even Yoga. My machine runs quietly with long battery life and is fast.The main complaint I have with this PC is the chassis. I have a X1 Yoga gen1 that feels more premium than this laptop. Despite using magnesium and being durable, the lid feels the same as generic laptops like the Dell Latitude (yuck) by having rounded sides. I like the chassis of my older ThinkPad's which were flat and not tapered/rounded.The second complaint is the lack of SD or ... MoreThe performance on this is great.

I do appreciate having a Ethernet port now, which is very rare in laptops these days.My machine has the 2.2k 16:10 display which seems to be the sweet spot. 4k runs hotter and wastes battery for very little visual gain. I do wish they went a little higher to match the DPI of older 1440p/WQHD displays. The ppi of this machine is ~189ppi while older 1440p displays were 210ppi, which looked beautiful on my X1 Yoga. The resolution is sharp enough to not really notice any pixelation and low enough to not have HiDPI issues in Linux. I would have selected a touch screen option at this resolution if it were offered, though I do prefer matte displays (no glare or reflections).The keyboard is still good despite having lower travel than their older legendary keyboards. I especially appreciate the Track Point I use it more than I use the Touch Pad. Unfortunately, they designed the buttons for it to be flush with the laptop, so when I click them, I also tap the Touch Pad with my thumb, double clicking. I usually end up disabling my Touch Pad completely because of it. I don't know if this is an issue in Windows as I am running Linux and not dual booting.Overall, I am happy with my purchase, but I hope that future options in the ThinkPad line will include AMD, 210ppi 16:10 touch displays, SD slots, and a premium feeling flat lid.

This is my first Thinkpad and overall it is a near perfect laptop aside from a few things. First, the reduced quality compared to previous Thinkpad gens. I use a gen 1 T14 at work which inspired me to invest in one for myself. The quality in material seems less solid and robust in the gen 3, for example, the plastic around keyboard is flimsy, and the thunderbolt outlet is loose when connected to charger. Companies using "recycled material" seems to translate to less quality and durability, but hey its better for the environment. All and all not a deal breaker for me.The main concern however is due to the battery length, which can barely make it a few hours with just light browsing on best efficiency power saving mode. This appears to be a widespread issue with the ... MoreThis is my first Thinkpad and overall it is a near perfect laptop aside from a few things.

This appears to be a widespread issue with the model from what I have read online, and is far from "all day use" advertised. After a week I decided to reset the battery gauge however afterwards it indicated the battery now only has a charge capacity of 47.98wh out of the 52.4wh battery size it was advertised as, which again is concerning to see an almost 10% reduction in battery capacity after a week of use.
Excellent performance out of this machine. I got the 6850U and 32gb RAM, makes it a breeze to do any amount of productivity + internet browsing + image processing. I am surprised at how well it tackles everything. I enjoy the keyboard layout, trackpoint, and trackpad. I wish the Control key was the bottom left key instead of the Function key, that is taking some getting used to, and annoying.Main drawback in the keyboard feel. Last laptop was X1 Carbon gen 2 (yes old, but last like a champ). The keyboard on that machine was by far the best I've ever felt: durable glossy finish, high travel, nice click. LENOVO, you NEED to focus on your keyboard quality, it is one of the main reasons people are drawn to your computers. I still give 5 stars because I will get used ... MoreExcellent performance out of this machine.

Quite happy with the laptop so far. Its fast, can run many applications and perfect for my use case. Really like the amount of I\O ports and types that are present as well (ethernet, USB A and C especially). The downside I have been having is that I am presently using almost every port with something:External monitor, external webcam, USB c device, power, and ethernet.When using all ports and running the laptop with work intensive apps, sometimes the internal bluetooth adaptor will simply shut itself down. The only way to get it back and running again is to completely shut down the laptop, unplug all I\O devices and do a "power flush" by holding down the power button for 30-60 seconds. This is a huge annoyance because I am using most of the I\O ports and have to ... MoreQuite happy with the laptop so far. Its fast, can run many applications and perfect for my use case.

At least I found a workaround for the bluetooth issue, otherwise the laptop would be getting returned. Happy with everything else.
As you would expected with a Lenovo thinkpad, the build quality is definitely there. I would definitely recommend this build to someone looking for something they know they can rely on for years to come. The 4:3 ratio is turning into my ideal screen ratio, especially when I am reading through pages of PDF's. The hinge is solid, the speakers are tuned, and the non reflective screen is fantastic in all lighting scenarios. The touchscreen is extremely intuitive to use and is extremely responsive, I do have a slight hiccup that I will discuss shortly.Now the bad...Great keyboard typing experience, although because I chose the 14" model, I do feel like my hand are pulled in a little closer to each other than I had originally anticipated. I typically get between 4-6 ... MoreAs you would expected with a Lenovo thinkpad, the build quality is definitely there.

I typically get between 4-6 hours of battery life which is a little less than I had expected but the charging is wicked fast. Because of the narrowness of the laptop, it does tend to warm up a little after heavier use. The fingerprint reader tends to miss more than I would like. Lastly is the touch screen itself. This laptop uses a capacitive touch screen, not a resistive touchscreen; meaning it does not function with a stylus regardless of the quality of manufacturer.
I am very happy with this machine. I was skeptical about things I'd heard about the heat of the Intel processors and keyboard redesign (less key travel, apparently). I would have taken an AMD version if I could have gotten the 400 nit low-power screen with it but that wasn't offered when I was ready. I got the standard i5 processor and am very very happy with the results. I have no heat problems running the machine on my lap (I'm a writer - the machine is used for writing, a few graphics, research and watching videos). The keyboard feels like the traditional superior Thinkpad keyboard to me and the build quality feels much more solid than my previous T490 and T470. The screen is great, it's fast and the new form factor is a better typing surface than the previous ... MoreI am very happy with this machine.

Very happy.
The battery life is awful and the build quality is okay at best. The machine is simply unimpressive. The BIOS is proprietary which sucks. I'd prefer an open BIOS. The speakers are okay as far as laptops go. The ThinkPad logo and red light make me happy for some reason but the rest of the machine is lacking. I'm young and never got to experience the old ThinkPads but that is the type of machine I was hoping for. What I got is clearly a pathetic attempt at a business quality laptop. The battery can't be swapped (which is necessary given how disgustingly pathetic the battery life is.) My five year old laptop gets twice the battery life easily. The charging cable is excellent at least (the length being the best part) which is fortunate given how often I need to charge ... MoreThe battery life is awful and the build quality is okay at best.

The ports are okay but adding a USB charging port to the other side as well would have made a lot of sense. The touchpad is mediocre but the physical buttons are nice to have (although also mediocre in quality and accuracy).Just buy something else. I won't buy another ThinkPad. They are all hype and clearly not what they once were. All the things that matter most are trash on this model and none of the others appear to be any better. They should have just retired ThinkPad and called these something different. This is a 1967 Impala vs 2000's Impala situation.
Everything is great so far. I needed a lighter, larger screen laptop, with much better battery life and this was a good candidate. The 16:10 ratio screen is great for the extra space compared to my old 16:9 laptop. Magnesium construction is very lightweight! Even though it’s a bigger laptop, it was lighter than my 13” HP envy. Battery is the best I’ve seen on a windows (with some optimization for power). I have the Ryzen 7 with the 39.3Wh battery and it’s good for now with my use, but the there is 52Wh battery for this laptop available online that can be upgraded later, in the 39.3Wh models the extra space is just filled with a plastic place holder.THE ONLY CON is that Lenovo has been lazy in implementing support for S3 Sleep in Windows 11(watch Linus tech tip video ... MoreEverything is great so far.

PLEASE unplug your Laptops before putting it to sleep/close the lid, this is the best solution so far. This is my first Lenovo and I must say it’s a pretty good laptop!
