[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased a ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 (15”, Intel) Laptop. It has the 11th Generation i7 at 2.80GHz , 16GB, 500GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro, & fingertip scanner. I am very pleased with this laptop, so far. I have not found anything negative to say about it at this time. It is a very good PC for work (it has a built-in camera and speakers for teleconferencing & I installed MS Office 2019 Pro, which runs flawlessly) & leisure (plays streaming videos without any problems & runs my photo & video editing software flawlessly).
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Laptop is very quick, battery life is good, but there is a graphic glitch when using PowerPoint on some of the standard presentation backgrounds. Not sure if it is a Microsoft issue or a graphics card issue. Haven't figured out how to reload Microsoft yet since I purchased the system with this software installed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced my 5 year old ThinkPad. Significant upgrade with Intel i7, solid state drive and super fast boot up. Good value for the money.

I got my ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 (15”, Intel) Laptop just before Christmas, even though was told when ordered it might not come until after. That's was a nice surprise. Was just as I ordered and please with purchase. I use mostly for accounting business. Somewhat lightweight but that is ok. Started up fast and was easy to set up. Was a bit more than I wanted to pay but bought more to get a system that I could use a few years. My only issue was the directional plastic pointer key above touchpad keeps coming off and won't snap in place. You not get any extras like a case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compared to more compact Tiger Lake laptops, this is a cool-running Intel thanks to the 15" chassis and cooling system. However, even compared to the smaller E14 Gen 2 AMD that I am now using (and keeping over the E15 Gen 2 Intel), it is noticeably hotter while I do Unity 3D development, and battery life isn't the greatest (surely due in part to the 15" screen instead fo 14"). Unfortunately, I wound up returning the device due to two reasons:
1.) The E15 Gen 2 Intel's RAM runs in single channel mode, as there is only a single SODIMM slot with nothing else soldered like in the AMD variant.
2) I thought the 300 nit display would be the 72% NTSC panel, but it looks like the touch-enabled variant is much less vibrant, closer in color coverage to the 250 nit panels.
Still, overall a solid laptop (for an Intel). I really tried to like it, but some of the benefits of the Tiger Lake platform are lost on this particular model. For example, the support for quad channel LPDDR4X RAM that you see in other compact Tiger Lake laptops is noticeably missing here. However, the platform has other advantages. Thunderbolt 4 is really nice, as I was able to connect it to my eGPU (Razer Core X with a GTX 970 inside). However, when connected and playing middling demand games like XCOM2 or even low demand games like League of Legends, the machine is noticeably hot. The fans are pumping out some decent heat, although not that noisily. Consequently, it is a bit warm for keeping your hands on the laptop keyboard. I wound up putting the machine in a tent mode to let the hot air dissipate away from my USB-connected keyboard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is incredible. The display resolution and speaker sound is like sitting in front of a 4K HD television. The battery lasts me almost the entire day and a full recharge took maybe 15 minutes tops. The biggest shock was when I saw that my WIFI connected at a speed faster than my beefed up, directly wired (1GB) desktop computer. Everything on this machine is lightening fast and my Zoom and Google Meet connections are crystal clear in sound and display. Would rate this amazing laptop higher than 5 stars if it were an option.
