[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This conputer is solidly build and pretty fast for typical workloads. I’ve shopped around long and hard but I couldn’t find anything that’s a better value than this. My only gripe is that this has a significant backlight bleed but I don’t really care since this won’t be used for graphic sensitive jobs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought to replace my trusted 8+ years old Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Tablet, which is still working but slow and microphones don't work well, unhelpful during this time of Zoom meetings.
So far, and it's only been a few days, I love how fast it boots (can start working in about 30 seconds on 64 bit Windows 10 Pro v. 2004), screen clarity, multi-tasking performance. Found the 2 USB ports of different revisions handy for charging and connecting variously aged devices. The HDMI port worked reasonably well for watching a movie on my TV, need to play around next time to see if I can eliminate some of the minor issues (hide pointer, picture size not filling screen size in either direction, currently I feel these should be automatically handled by Windows or the player app but there might be a good reason for not doing so).
Screen is dimmer (have anti-glare coated screen) so not sure it will work outside in broad daylight when the summer comes like my old X220 could (I had the bright screen, not the touchscreen). Fingerprint scanner on the old one worked 95% of the time, the new laptop <5%, even though I added two more fingers for a total of 3. I go through each in turn then have to enter my 4 digit PIN very nearly every time I log on. I get a message telling me the scanner might be dirty. It's brand new so I should not have to, but cleaning with an isoporopyl alcohol soaked cotton swab made no difference. Will be contacting customer support.
I don't use the touchscreen as I am not habituated to using it and I don't want to dirty it, but I tested it and it works, definitely easier to use for scrolling than the touch pad. The touch pad seems identical to my old one, so anticipating a love/hate relationship with some unintentional zooms and email deletions. So far not yet missed lack of stylus and ability to flip the screen and use it as a tablet, but that's probably because I am not giving any in person talks or presentations. Nobody complains about not being able to hear me at Zoom meetings anymore so I guess the microphone works, and speakers work well enough for that job.
It's also very quiet and doesn't get hot like my old X220, which absolutely required a laptop desk. I have pure SSD (1 TB) so I suspect that is the underlying reason.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good ThinkPad keyboard. Easily updated to Windows 11. Loads quickly. Graphics are good. Screen may not be bright enough for outdoor use, but I don’t plan to do that.
