[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great business laptop. I use this particular model for vehicle maintenance (base vehicle software). It's reliable and compatible with all the software and apps that I use. Performance is good for what I need. Pricing is fair as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this laptop a few days ago to replace my old t440 and I've really enjoyed it so far.
+ The screen (I sprung for the 1440p) is very nice, though pretty glossy. A matte option would have been nice.
+ The keyboard, touchpad, and touchpad buttons are a dream, even under Linux. Having the top discrete touchpad buttons is so much nicer than the under touchpad buttons on the 440, and having the middle mouse button as well is amazing. The keyboard feels good as well.
- Opening the laptop was very difficult. It uses phillips screws instead of torx, which is nice, but the clips around the laptop body were extremely stiff and I was worried about breaking the bottom plate several times. I was able to get it dis- and re-assembled without incident, however.
+ Easily upgradable: there's only one RAM slot and one NVME SSD slot inside, but both were easy enough to upgrade. I put a 32G ram stick and 1tb NVME SSD in for much cheaper than I could have gotten stock (~300 total).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good battery life, and I really like the touch screen. However, there’s a lot of hot air coming out on the right side, which is annoying when you are using a mouse. Hopefully it lasts a long time and doesn’t overheat too often.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually I'm use any traditional laptops, thinkpad is my father recommendation. First impact is different from my thinking - robust, solid, high performance. That's key word which I received from my fother. My thinking, it should be designed like solid cube, heavy weight. But it's not at all. Quite impress this.
