[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s very portable with high speeds and a sleek look. If you are typically a Mac user, you may struggle to download certain apps that are unique to Apple such as iMovie (which doesn’t have a Windows alternative). Otherwise, great product! I’m happy with my purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a wonderful machine that serves all my computing needs. It's fast, intuitive and a fantastic bargain for the price.
Everything is great so far. The only drawback is the display brightness it comes with, only 200 nits it's very low, just a little bit of direct light into the screen and you won't see a thing. I know this is a feature that can bee customized for a brighter display in some countries, but here in Chile there isn't that choice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great laptop, good battery life, Lenovo went out of there way to not fully support linux. Fingerprint reader and WWAN card not supported in linux. From what I can tell, the WWAN card will never be supported in linux. Lenovo simply needs to whitelist USB support for the card to allow full linux compatibility.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The laptop is light and has decent io output. Some dongles required but I like the ethernet port. No removable battery like previous generations of thinkpads and I don't like that. I immediately got rid of windows and replaced the os with initially ubuntu 18.04. There were issues with the screen brightness and after switching to linux mint then to ubuntu 19.04 was the screen brightness resolved. I wish lenovo would have better linux driver support for their products as the fingerprint pad is so far not useable on ubuntu. The camera has a built in webcam blocker which I appreciate a lot. This is the thinkpad so the keyboard is as good as ever. The Ryzen 5 3500u is powerful enough for graduate school research and battery life is very good once installing tlp.
