[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good solid product with typical Thinkpad build quality. Boots quickly and 6 cores can chew through lots of work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The laptop is a perfect balance of performance, size, weight, and battery life. Ordered with 16GBs of soldered RAM and a 120GB SSD and upgraded to 32 GB of RAM and a 1T SSD. The only downside is the Privacy Guard screen - it does work as advertised but even when turned off, the viewing angles and brightness are compromised. Unless you really need it, I would advise against that option.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Thinkpad. I carry my laptop with me almost every day and the units hold up well. I have never had a problem with computers function or programming when it is received. I work for a national company and have been working on a company Thinkpad for 9 years.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this laptop. The desingn and built seems robust. It is lightweight and thin. AMD processor is very powerful and reliable. It met all my processing needs and more. All features worked out of the box with my linux system.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed Manjaro and everything is working well. Minor cons: 1) I wish the laptop's case was easier to open and close. 2) The front edge and corners are sharp when you rest your hands on them. Neither of these was enough to take off a star.
The Privacy Guard Screen was very difficult to see and use on a daily basis. Otherwise the laptop was good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Track pad is not good and screen not very bright. However keyboard is nice and tacky, resolution is crisp and the laptop is very light.
