[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic lightweight notebook, great compatibility with Fedora (and Manjaro) so far. Decided I wanted a rolling update Linux distro so after a few days with Fedora I installed Manjaro. Hardware runs great and the battery handles most of my workday.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fast processing speeds but loud fan noise. I wish the price point came with a dedicated graphics card.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchase several of these a month for our tech start up and have had great experiences. The only downside is that several have been prone to have camera issues after a year or so. Overall, highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this device for about 3 weeks, and it is a phenomenal device. My last Lenovo product was an E531, which lasted me 10 years and is still running, so I knew I wanted another Lenovo product. This has not disappointed. The lightweight design is a huge plus for anyone traveling and using this computer on the go. I have used both 15" and 13" screens, and I think the 14" is a great compromise between the two, as you get some extra screen, but the computer does weigh as much or take up the majority of your backpack.
Battery seems solid, and I appreciate being able to have the selective charge feature that allows for you to only charge to 80% in order to reduce battery deterioration for people that are plugged in most of the time.
People have complained about the fan noise on the gen 10, but for this gen 9 it is very quiet 99% of the time, and only ramps up during peak load when rendering a video or backing up your computer. The chassis does get rather hot, but if you don't have it in your lap, that isn't something to be concerned about. The ports they kept on this device feel perfect. Enough USB A ports to get by, but also 2 USB C for the heavy data transfers and docking stations.
Speakers are super loud, best I've ever seen on a computer. I love my music, and when on the run they are great for video calls.
Speaking of video, the camera is sub-par and rather disappointing. Probably the only hardware part they really cheaped out on 720p really gets grainy in low light. Will want an external camera if you do more than just the occasional meeting online. Privacy shutter is nice though.
Overall, this is a solid device! Sadly, MS has a glitch on their updates, and I had to reinstall Window 11 a few days ago in order to get a Win10 era update to go onto my device. Not a Lenovo problem hardware problem at all, but do be aware that you may have to do some update work simply because MS hasn't fixed their update system properly in Win11.
This is a pricey computer, but I would say that the durability and quality of the product pays for itself in a very short time.
