[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic machine; light, incredibly powerful, that great Lenovo keyboard and an EMBEDDED NUMBER PAD! [Key to a spreadsheet geek's inner peace.] 15.6" screen great for spreadsheets and DBs, and plenty of ports so no issues needing a bag full of dongles. My dream machine would have had a touch screen and 360 degree hinge, but on a 15.6" workhorse, how many times would it be used in "tablet" mode anyway? This one's an absolute keeper.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this one because it has a compatible mechanical dock available. Many of the new models don't have mechanical docks and that was an important feature. Size is good; big screen but slim. Will be interesting to see how USB-C charger works for the user.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this for work and it works great. Easy to setup, love the number keys on the side and the built-in camera cover.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought the p53s . it includes all the features I was looking for . and exactly in my budget . is maxed out with options . another great product that I have purchased from IBM.
wish the sweepstakes were available in Canada. the only downside I have found is that I wish it had dual batterys or a removable battery , battery life is not super great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had a windows computer in a very long time. I broke away from the Apple grip and got this machine. I can do anything on this with no problem.
Battery Life....Top/medium shelf. I'm teaching myself 3D Art and unplugged I am still getting roughly 5-6 hours without worry
School Work....i don't know what that is. The keyboard is super comfy once you get used to have the number pad in a laptop. When i go back to my desktop I reach for the nonexistent number pad often.
Gaming....I have't thrown many games at it just yet. i tested out one just to see what it could do. There were minimal issues in terms of lag or overheating
Heating/Cooling....The fans do their job. If you have proper airflow beneath it there shouldn't ever be a problem. The fans are "loud" but as powerful as this thing is it's expected.
Overall.....worth the investment. I would say upgrade to a 1TB SSD just to give yourself more freedom for everything. Don't forget to upgrade that RAM either
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only had this computer for about 2 weeks. I really like it for uses such as small amount of photo editing, a large amount of analytics and graph making. I am able to keep multiple browsers up and other documents with no issues. This works with my second screen flawlessly. My only gripe is that the function and control key are switched and it takes a little while to get used to it especially when I switch computers.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely the best computer that I've ever had and I have had many, many. The applications that Lenovo has provided for download to keep laptop up to date are to be greatly admired for their simplicity and ability to self correct and self direct. The laptop that I'm replacing is a little more than 4 years old and still running like new. I wanted the new technology of the USB-C Thunderbolt 3, Display port which is stunningly fast. The days of waiting to download or archive are over. I give it the highest marks in all categories. I use it for work.
