[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BAD POINTS/DISAPPOINTMENTS: -- The number keys, such as Home, Delete, Insert, Page Up/Down, have been moved over, so it's not like the vast majority of keyboards. Home was always two keys above the number 7, but no longer is. -- I also had to go into BIOS to swap the Ctrl and Fn keys to make them like the vast majority of keyboards for the last 20-30 years. There is a specific switch in BIOS to do this, probably because many people want it. -- The built-in slider to cover the camera lens is almost useless, because it's so hard to see when it's closed. Not good human factors-design.
GOOD POINTS -- Much faster and lighter than my 5 year-old Lenovo. -- The Page Up/Down keys next to arrows keys have little ridges on the keys to help find them without interrupting your work to find them. -- Left/Right click buttons north of the touchpad have ridges to help find them quickly. -- Red mouse pointer stick responds well.
These characteristics are important to me because I do a lot of hand-movements by habit, without looking at the keys and searching.
Overall I only give it a 4 out of 5 because I wish the keys were like the old standard layout and the camera cover is not really good. It these are not important to you, then just enjoy a reasonably fast and light laptop.

Sharp edges - literally!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The plastic edges around the laptop is really sharp, I like to hold my laptop in my hands on the couch, but on the P15S the edges is so sharp I cant stand it. How do you miss that in the design phase?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The performance aspect of this machine is great. The battery doesn't seem to last as long as Lenovo states. Also, the design of the computer is great...but the black casing shows every bit of finger smudge. Customer service was great. Overall, I'd recommend this model.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great computer for business or personal use. Very light and compact. Awesome purchase, very happy with this computer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was likely a blazing option at one point, but now it is below average, and the battery lasts up to 4 hours. It's big, heavy, performs poorly, and has a bad battery. There are much, much better options out there for the same money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
