[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I choose this one because I didn't have the time to wait for the newest version. However, so far so good. It is a bit on the heavier side and I would have liked a better screen resolution because I do a lot of photo editing for online purposes. But its satisfied my needs and I trust Lenovo.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the PC, but I detest Windows 10.It is certainly a bit massive, but I knew it would be since I have an older 17 inch laptop. Also, I wanted something that wouldn't (I hope) become obsolete next week.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it.
This is my second Lenovo laptop and my first ThinkPad.
Excellent speed, great graphics, and has the power to run my 3d cad programs (Sketchup Pro) as well as my pdf programs (Layout pro and Bluebeam) with ease.
I have it paired with a 27" monitor, with several programs and windows open simultaneously and it doesn't miss a beat.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This work station is a game changer! I am own a Welding and Fabrication buisness, and use multiple CAD softwares to design our projects, as well as run a CNC Plasma Table. I used an Alienware Gaming laptop for a little over a year, until the motherboard failed just outside of the warranty period.
The Alienware did...okay. It ran the programs, but I couldn't use multiple at the same time without it getting very slow. With intruicut drawings in flashcut, my CAD/CAM/CNC program, it was unbearable.
Excited to try out this new powerhouse, I went straight for a drawing that ok the Alienware had major issues. Before, I'd make one simple change to the drawing and would wait 5 minutes before it would apply. On the overpowerd think pad? About 30 seconds. Still a lag, but it was usable!
I then tried more day to day drawings. In solid works, everything was seamless. What I felt was fast and efficient before, became instantaneous and noticeably smother. The screen was vibrant and clear, and just overall more enjoyable to use.
One other note that is worth mentioning is the anti-glare screen. I've always had issues concentrating whole working in the car which I attribute to how difficult it is to see the screen. Even on the sunniest day, the laptop is extremely visible and was a pleasure to work on.

The keyboard has the perfect 'bounce' to it and the rubber red nubby thingy is exaclty what I wanted in my keyboard instead of having use the track pad. Everything's fast, can't wait to install all my scientific software on it.
