Great Value for a general purpose do-it-all laptop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this item on a decent sale. At MSRP it is competitive, but when on a good sale, the specs cannot be matched by the competition. Combination of AMD's CPU/GPU mean its great for just about anything, even modern games. Being all AMD, most Linux distributions install with no problem and run smooth as butter. Including a pen and having a touch screen lets people with an artistic side shine. The convertible function isn't something I use often except for when setting up with an external keyboard - the laptop bent back on itself means the screen is closer, and it can cool itself better while I game on it. You might think turning it over into a tablet would be convenient, but at its size, it is a little too large to use as most of the 10" android tablets, and gets heavy quickly. Don't expect to use it as an e-reader for long sessions - but in a pinch, the ability to fold it around to show someone something is great.
My only real complaints with the product are 1: the price fluctuates WILDLY on Lenovo's site, and if you don't catch it while it is on a sale, the sales team will not come close in trying to match the price. Secondly, the choice to include a co-pilot button where right control should be is infuriating to me, as someone who often uses the control key. I would have preferred the odd arrow cluster be removed so they could fit a more standard alt/win/fn/ctrl arrangement, and if they wanted to swap out the windows key or function key for co-pilot, that would have been much better. Of course, after a while of using you do get used to it, but as soon as i go back to my full size keyboards, i go right back to right control, and have to break the habit again if i go back to the laptop keyboard.
Overall I really like it. I hope Lenovo keeps updating this basic model for years to come. Aside from wishing the co-pilot key didnt replace a key I use a lot more, the only other thing I would like to see in the future is a version of this that adds the Thinkpad's Trackpoint? Eraser mouse in the middle of the keyboard.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great purchase! I am very pleased with this product. It does everything perfectly for what I needed. The touch screen is so convenient. The 16" is actually a tad too big for me personally but it's getting the job done.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid laptop. Great keyboard, screen is very clear and colour is good. Battery life is more than enough for my use. Currently only using it for some 2D and 3D CAD work, light photo work and web browsing. Haven't tried any games on it yet but my partner has a similar laptop from lenovo that handles games very well. Only cons so far is that the battery included with the pen did not work, even though it showed 1.6v on a multimeter. Also if your using it outside on a sunny day, the screen could be a little brighter, but thats a lot to ask.
Did a lot of research before buying a laptop and I think I made the right choice. Very pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great performance, good battery life and the build quality is very good. I appreciate that the USB-C port works with my docking station and can display to my two external monitors. Only Issue I have is with the touch pad. When I dock and close the laptop, the touchpad has "ghost" touches where it's initiating a mouse click or moving the mouse, so I have to go into the windows settings and shut the touchpad off when I'm docked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish my work lenovo came with the same size screen - this one is great! And it has a 10-key. It's probably overkill for what we need at home, but it's nice.
