Overall a good build, but 2 unneeded flaws: (1) swapping the places of CTRL and Function Key, (2) terrible finger scanner -- iPhones had the tech down for years, why can't Lenovo? Would be a perfect laptop but for those two, easy fixes. A shame. Look elsewhere for perfection.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] there should have instructions included otherwise a highly functional machine with lot of versatility. Battery life is less than advertised
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a a decent computer but I couldn’t believe it wasn’t touchscreen. Even the most inexpensive computers today are touchscreen. It must have been difficult to build a non-touchscreen computers these days
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything is good. The laptop overall is good-looking, very firm. Monitor looks really good. Battery is 52Wh, my workflow takes 9-10 Wh on average, so it lasts about 5h. It is a little less than I expected, but it's ok.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super light. Fast startup. Super thin. I had a Mac before and glad I got a Windows computer this time. For business and personal purposes, Windows wins. I bought this with a full warranty coverage and Office 365. Glad I got this laptop and for a good price.
I've always wanted this exact computer since i had it for 20 years with my corp job. Love it and so far it's the best thing I've had in computers for a long time.
