[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The laptop is a beast. It feels more like a desktop in terms of power. The fan is a little loud at times but it keeps the CPU and GPU rather cool. I am a software architect and this compiles code super fast and I never get lag. The WiFi 7 speeds are incredible if you have the right network hardware in your home. The keyboard and trackpad are perfect, I don't know anything I would change about them. The aesthetics and feel of the chassis are great but be ready for fingerprints on the lid if that bothers you. The charger is 170 watts so be prepared to shell out a lot of money for a dock that can deliver that much juice and the charger itself is the proprietary lenovo style, not usb c like we've come to expect from most modern equipment, so a second charger is likely going to be expensive as well. I'm not a computer gamer but I couldn't resist trying out a couple of games and it didn't disappoint. The new Intel Core Ultra 9 185H is not really a performance upgrade from the previous i9 series but it is less power hungry and has the NPU for AI workloads so it is a fair trade with no noticeable lag under load. If you are a remote worker and find yourself working from different locations or even kicking back in the recliner for the afternoon to finish your day, this is the laptop for you. I run windows 11 as the primary OS VMWare Wokstation Pro with a Ubuntu VM for development because I prefer that over WSL and this machine runs both flawlessly. I was a huge fan of the MacBook pro until they switched to the ARM architecture because... well, who doesn't like a mac, but these days a good linux OS will feel very familiar as an alternative without being forced to buy everything else Apple to connect with it. I've also recently started using Blender to create 3D models for my 3D printer and this also runs that software like a champ!
tldr; If you want a great Windows laptop that will handle all of your high performance needs, this is a fantastic device.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can either build out, or just buy this one. This is everything I wanted with storage, graphics card, and RAM.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice laptop for whatever your needs are but not having a number keypad seems like a huge miss on a laptop of this caliber.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick and can handle several powerful programs running at once on multiple monitors. Only reason I for 4 instead of 5 stars is that the screen flickers continuously when I remove the monitors, forcing me to restart for a clear screen.
