[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago as an upgrade from a T450, and I'm very happy with it. I work in the tech industry and I love Lenovo/the Thinkpad line for the reliable workhorses they continue to churn out. This is the 3rd Thinkpad I've purchased as combo personal/work machine, and the first is ~8 years old and can still run Win10.
So on to the things people actually care about--the keyboard is Lenovo's usual chicklet style with nice travel and reassuring click. It's great to type on, but there's one supremely annoying thing that's standard across Lenovo laptops: the backlight does NOT come back on once the screen goes off. Please Lenovo, people have been complaining about this for years, and I spent a solid 30 minutes going through menus trying to find a system fix but no dice. You can hit Fn+Space to turn it back on, but really?? Anyway...
Other than that the fingerprint reader is a little finicky--at least more so than the old raised style. Just make sure your fingers/the reader are clean, or log in using another method
Overall I'm very happy with this purchase, and I love how quickly it starts up with the M2 memory. I'm looking forward to getting several years of use out of this. I'm a Lenovo customer for the long term
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is so fast and intuitive. Imagine my surprise when I accidently touched the screen. Yup! It's also touch screen capable. This is the perfect device to handle all my chrome windows and multiple apps running all at the same time. No lag, no kidding!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great device overall and feels wonderful to use. However, it is sad to see some spectacular features like the removable battery disappear.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a T410 for 10 years, it served me well. It was time to upgrade and the natural choice was to go with the new T14 Gen1. Did not regret the decision!
