[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the AMD 4750u, 16GB RAM, self upgraded to 1TB Evo Plus and 400 nits screen. It literally blew every Intel processors I have on Cinebench. Built quality is great and something I can take to a business meeting without hesitation. My only hiccup is the battery drain on sleep cycle, tried both modern sleep as well as S3 (linux sleep). About 13% drain over night which is not acceptable for a lot of folks out there. I was fine with hibernation just to save battery life since I am about 12-16 hours a day using this laptop. On hibernation, I started getting "config changed" error which ends up restarting the laptop. Considering my boot time is about 3 second, I am fine with just taking my chance on hibernation. My hope is Lenovo will fix this issue hopefully and I wont have anything to complain about.
On what shines about this laptop ... is the keyboard and how fast my node.js runs. Just perfect for coding all day long.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Laptop is exactly as described when I received it. Typing on the keyboard is a smooth experience. Love the addition of the backlight feature. Very responsive hardware and software. Connects to my other external devices such as Bluetooth devices and Wi-Fi without any issues. Initial software setup to Windows 10 Pro went very smoothly. Was given the option to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro and the upgrade also went without a hitch. Laptop appears to be responding very well to the upgraded OS without any driver issues. Laptop appears to be very sturdy and well made. Very smooth opening and closing of the laptop monitor lid. Also like that fact that it comes with a camera privacy slider to cover the camera. Overall, my I'm quite pleased with my initial impression on the laptop.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm on my fourth ThinkPad, a T14, and sadly this one is the worst. It worked fine for about a month but now is having numerous, repeated software problems. They began when the Lenovo software broke down and wouldn't open. I deleted the programs and tried to reinstall but the downloads wouldn't work. I received the same error message that appeared when the programs wouldn't open and another about a missing .dll file. I've had to reinstall the Windows 11 system three times and couldn't get stability until I used the recovery drive that I set up upon receiving the unit. Problems still exist. Now the Favorites folder in Edge keeps disappearing. I fully expect the system to go kablooey again. This is not what I expect from ThinkPads. I wish that I had saved my money on this one....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 14" laptop is a work horse. I used a Lenovo laptop at my previous company but it was a company laptop and I was laid off in September 2020, thanks Covid... Found a job with a new company in January and had to pull out my old computer that was previously Windows Vista and install 10 pro on it.. unfortunately due to its age and only 16 GB of RAM it couldn't keep up. I needed a new computer for my office work and came looking for a Lenovo. Found this one and mildly customized it with 24GB of RAM and I've been using it 3 weeks to a month and it has t lagged at all like my previous one!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best laptops I have ever gotten! I’ve installed pop os on it and this thing is a power house. Plus love the ability to upgrade!
