[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits my Lenovo ThinkPad T15 with no problem, despite not being specifically noted as compatible in the website description. Also appreciate the slim design and light weight for when I take the laptop on the road.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's not much to say about it, as it's just a charger and it does its job of charging devices. The compact design is nice and the red cable clip is a nice touch. It's impossible to know how well-built it is without opening it up, so I just hope it lasts, but at least it's fairly cheap, especially when purchased with the computer during the Black Friday pricing. The main issue I have with it is that USB plugs are somewhat fragile, and this is a straight plug that will stick out from the side of the computer, an issue exacerbated by the fact many Lenovo laptops have both USB-C ports on the same side. So there's a decent risk of the connector and/or port breaking, and if the connector breaks, the power supply brick, which is where most of the cost is (not to mention the resulting waste), has to be replaced, since the USB cable is permanently hardwired into it.
They could (and should) have made it modular, made the connector right-angled (or at least have that as an option), or even made it magnetic. I ended up buying some right-angle adapters (CC) to go between the computer and the charger, which seems to work well, still charges fast, keeps the cord from sticking straight out and doing a u-turn since the ports are often on the opposite side of the outlet, and will hopefully result in the adapter breaking instead of the charger if something happens, but it's annoying to have to spend the money on them and the time researching them due to Lenovo's poor design. To be fair, most, if not all, brick chargers are like this, but that doesn't make it any less stupid of a design and doesn't excuse them for not improving it, and a mediocre design deserves a mediocre rating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A charger that weighs 1/4 less than the usual brick is a welcome accessory!

Does not pass through the Lenovo USB-C 7-in-1 Hub.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is maybe 80% smaller than the stock power supply that came with my X1 Gen 4 Thinkpad. Out of the box the DC cord is over stressed where it exits the hard plastic strain relief. The strain relief should be soft plastic. The DC cord is way to stiff for the amount of flexing it needs to do and you end up with a "spring" rather than a cord which further stresses the cord at the strain relief.
This does not pass power through the Lenovo USB-C 7-in-1 Hub, Part Number 4X90V55523. So forget powering your X1 Gen 4 using the hub with an external monitor.
Get this if you absolutely must save a few square centimeters in your backpack, it is a nice design but made with cheap stiff parts that should be flexible. Buy a Lenovo stock power supply if you want reliability and interoperability.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
