Portability is excellent due to the small size and weight with great battery life (avg 10 hrs) with half screen brightness, keyboard lighting off, and bluetooth and wifi on, and I have no concern with peripherals due to the number and variety of ports available.The only thing that holds this back in a major way is the redesigned keyboard and trackpad mouse buttons, which are much more shallow and feel extremely mushy and provide much less feedback than previous ThinkPad keyboards. There's already been lots of times where I think I've pressed a key, but it didn't register, and I've been making a lot of typos and errors due to this, which has been heavily impacting my work flow. The same applies to the trackpad mouse buttons, which also have less defined sloping than my previous Yoga 14 and makes it harder to tell which button I'm clicking. I heavily utilize the middle mouse button to open and close new tabs, and I've normal clicked instead of middle clicked mistakenly much more than I did on my older Yoga 14.

I don't mind using an external mouse as that takes less space than a keyboard.I've been recommending ThinkPads to my colleagues at work who were thinking of getting new laptops, but everyone who's tried the keyboard on this one has decided to look into other options. If the keyboard was changed for the better or even provided a neutral benefit, this would easily be a 5/5 rating as I love everything else about this laptop, but with the heavy impact to my typing and workflow I would give this more of a 3/5 to 3.5/5 rating. I bought this online with no way to test the new keyboard, so I would highly recommend trying out the keyboard in stores if you are able so you can see if it is a dealbreaker for you.Lenovo, if you could update the keyboard or bring it back to the classic one the ThinkPad line is known for this would be a no brainer recommendation from me. Until then, I'd recommend everyone to try the keyboard out first before buying.

I'm keeping it. If anything, I like the keyboard better than my Lenovo X230. The screen (IPS, 500 nits) is bright and clear. I'm not a graphics designer so the color rendering is more than good enough for me. It stays cool during my use, which does not include gaming. I mainly do web browsing, streaming, writing, Anki review, spotify, etc. I went with the high end model (6850) because RAM and storage are not upgradeable and I wanted 32G and 2TB. The 6650 would have been enough, but no custom builds yet. I think it needs one more USB port, but I have a hub for speakers and my backup drive.Having nothing really to do with Lenovo, migrating was a bit of a pain. I prefer no Microsoft store account, but doesn't look like that was an option for Win11. Now for the ... MoreI'm keeping it. If anything, I like the keyboard better than my Lenovo X230.

I hope this isn't a lemon.Not having to do with Lenovo at all, my Brother L2340DW printer keeps generating a Windows error log entry that it went to sleep. No kidding, I might print 5 pages a week.

I'm a longtime loyal ThinkPad buyer. This is the 3rd Thinkpad I've owned over 14 years. I only needed to buy this T14s because the screen on my T440s died after 8 years. But I'm so disappointed in the T14s. I spend a lot of time in Zoom or Google Meet meetings. Zoom freezes on me almost every time. The video camera on the laptop will freeze and shut off almost immediately when I join a meeting. The audio will be garbled or have lots of artifacts and the speakers make a crackling sound. The exact same issues happen with Google Meet. So it's not an issue specific to Zoom. On my 8 year old T440s I never had any issues with Zoom or Google Meet. I also listen to music a lot on YouTube and the audio has been garbled/had artifacts and the speakers will crackle. Similarly, ... MoreI'm a longtime loyal ThinkPad buyer.

Similarly, I never had issues like this on my 8 year old T440s. I know it's not my internet & wifi because I have 1 Gig internet from Google Fiber and I'm literally 4 feet away from the router when this happens. I got the T14s version with 16gb of memory and the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro so it shouldn't be an issue with overtaxing the hardware. For a best-in-class business laptop where users will be on a lot of Zoom/Google Meet calls this type of problem is unacceptable. I expect better from Lenovo. They need to do better. The other issue is I have the 300 nits screen and at 100% brightness it's still very much on the dimmer side. Why Lenovo is even still offer a screen this dim in 2023 is beyond me. (My wife's 4 year old Google Pixelbook Go has a brighter screen.) I wanted to order the 400 nits screen but it would have been at least a month wait to get the machine. I'm most likely going to return the laptop because of these issues.
After suffering disappointment at the hands of the X1 Carbon, I'm here to say that this is a far superior alternative. Aesthetically, it's surprisingly lightweight, thin and sleek. Fan is pretty much completely silent- only kicks in when it's first plugged in to charge, and even then it's barely noticeable. Laptop stays cool as a cucumber. Battery life is comparatively excellent- I'm getting about 8-10 hours with screen at half brightness (which is enough for my purposes). Keyboard is snappy and easy to use, once you get used to layout. Trackpoint and trackpad both work excellently. Windows Hello face recognition is a great feature and super fast for login. Webcam is nothing special, but works fine for video calls if you're not picky. Qualms: I wish there was a ...

Webcam is nothing special, but works fine for video calls if you're not picky. Qualms: I wish there was a sliding webcam cover on the model I received, which there isn't. Fingerprint reader doesn't work great, but with Windows face recognition you don't really need it. Also, the matte screen is sleek, but colors are a tad dull and brightness at full level is not the best. However, I'll take the low power screen tradeoff for the excellent battery life, which is a priority for me. Overall, highly recommend this laptop!
Physically, after 11 months, the trackpad had worn down where I used it most and became over sensitive in those parts. So now it is uneven in its responsiveness. On top of this, the cursor disappears periodically. It is some kind of software error. I don't even use a lot of the resources -- mostly just the browser with a bunch of tabs open, and Spotify running. But it gets overloaded. I've used cheapo Chromebooks that have been far more reliable.You can fold the keyboard 360 degrees around to use the thing as a tablet, but then you expose the keyboard underneath, which isn't ideal. Much better to use an actual tablet.The lighted keyboard is useful.The screen does have good visuals. Bright and detailed.My screen cracked. No idea why -- never happened with any ...

Overall, a great laptop. This is my fifth Lenovo laptop, with the last three being X1 Carbons (gen 4, 6, and 8, all with i7 processors). This laptop is every bit as powerful as my gen 8 laptop and comes packed with features. Lots of memory, a large and fast SSD, crystal clear screen, etc. make working on this a pleasure. I regularly use SPSS statistical software as part of my work and this handles it easily. While it can be slow to load or process on other PCs, this launches SPSS faster than my gen 8 X1 Carbon and runs the analysis faster. I also do a lot of video editing and this runs my various programs faster and more stable than the X1 as well. Very small footprint - easy to travel with and when I'm home, the HDMI plug lets me add a second screen and run a dual ... MoreOverall, a great laptop.

Very small footprint - easy to travel with and when I'm home, the HDMI plug lets me add a second screen and run a dual screen setup. So far, no problems with the computer and to be honest, I don't expect any. With my three X1 Carbons, I only had to return one of them one time for a problem with a USB plug. Once it was fixed, it never went bad again. Lenovo won't like this, but I don't waste my money on the extra warranties as these machines are very well built and last!
Executive summary:Excellent Lenovo ThinkPad X series laptop - it's a keeper.Note that intent was a single ThinkPad for home and travel use, vs prior setupwith a T495 for home and older X220 for travel. Both the T495 and X220 are alsoexcellent ThinkPads, BTW. The X13 width and depth are almost identical to theX220, but about 1/2 the height and weight.Running with triple (Grub) boot, Win10 Pro 64 (unused), Slackware Linux 15.0 -currentand Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon (with Linux LUKS and LVM for everything but /boot).Likes:- Fast. Everything is quick and snappy and all components work well.- Display is excellent and easy on the eyes.13.3" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Touch, 72%NTSC, 300 nits- Sound is very good with Dolby Audio (best laptop sound ...

Note that I also use a 12"-17" laptop cooling pad and onlyrun the cooling pad fans occasionally as needed.- Custom Lenovo system was delivered in under 2 weeks and exactly as ordered.Dislikes:- Bright white power light next to the power/fingerprint reader button is annoying.Prefer that it be green and not as bright.- Touchpad is not quite as nice as T495, but still quite usable.- Miss the old ThinkPad notification lights for WiFi, Disk I/O, etc., which areon older ThinkPads such as T510 and X220s, etc.- Prefer slightly larger keyboard as on T495, but X13 has a very good keyboard.
The first time I powered on this laptop after receiving it on December 24th, it took me directly to the Windows 10 Pro display. then presented update for Windows 11 Pro. I updated it instantly. This military horse just needs some preparation before going into battle.This device is incredibly strong and efficient in terms of performance. My daily work, from light to hard work, can be completed with an Intel i71280p processor, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD.I adore the timeless design of this thinkpad series. furthermore a very helpful webcam cover for me. When using the camera, I have no trouble protecting my privacy. My phone may be charged via USB-C as well. now I don't have to carry two chargers.The capacitive touch screen that is being used is excellent and ...

Overall great upgrade from my 10 year old T430s.Likes: Similar in portability/weight to the top-of-the-line X1 Carbon but with AMD CPU, which means it's even better. The touchpad is very smooth and pleasant to use so much so that it is the first ThinkPad I will not be disabling it on (despite occasional palm activation while using the classic TrackPoint; Lenovo can you make the customizable Fn-F12 key toggle the touchpad on and off as an option?). The 400 nit screen is beautiful, the laptop is cool and quiet, and the integrated graphics card is more than sufficient for light gaming. On top of that, Lenovo is certified to run Ubuntu Linux 20.04 (with the OEM kernel variant), and it runs quite smoothly as well.Dislikes: For some reason the laptop boots very slowly ...

On top of that, Lenovo is certified to run Ubuntu Linux 20.04 (with the OEM kernel variant), and it runs quite smoothly as well.Dislikes: For some reason the laptop boots very slowly when I have a lot of USB devices attached; it's as if the BIOS is taking a long time to enumerate all of the devices. My workaround is just to be more patient, or to unplug USB until Windows starts to boot. I am also not a fan of Windows 11 for many reasons but have massaged it to be usable. When none of the installed applications are misbehaving in the background, I can get 8-10 hours of battery life, but sometimes it's only half of that, although that probably has more to do with the specific applications I installed myself more than anything else. Other small details: I would prefer to have kept separate volume keys since I actually use my F keys routinely, and for them to have orange or green LEDs instead of white, since white is a little harsher in the dark. I prefer the old power status indicators on the lid; the pulsing red dot while in standby is sleek, but it means I have to stare at the laptop for a good 3 seconds to figure out if it's in standby versus straight on or off.Neutral: The keyboards aren't what they used to be (compared to a T430s or similar era) but that seems to be related to the necessity of making a laptop thinner too. The biggest thing I had to get used to with the keyboard was that the keys bottom out below the frame, so if I hit a key too close to the edge, my finger will run into the frame. The most obvious time this happens is when I press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to bring up Task Manager. I'm used to pressing Ctrl-Shift together with the thumb but when I do that now, the frame hits the middle of my thumb and I might not fully depress both keys so easily. But otherwise the keyboard is pleasant to type on.
