[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have purchased the Gen 1 L15 Thinkpad for our team for a while. This is our first Gen 2 and it seems to be just as good as the original. We are pleased with the product and the value it provides.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's get the con out of the way first. The speakers on this thing absolutely suck. At max volume it's comparable to my old P50s' volume at about 40. Headphones are required for any Zoom meeting.
Ok, now that that is out of the way it's time for the pros, I LOVE everything else about this computer. Sizeable hard drive, a decent amount of RAM, the keys, while taking a little getting used to, have a nice tactile feel. I need a 10-key, so having a built-in one is a must and it does not disappoint. My old computer took 10-15 minutes on a good day to hit a usable state, this one is ready to go in less than 45 seconds. Ideally, I'd like 1 more USB A port, but as it's not been a terrible issue I'm not willing to dock a star for that.
All in all, if this laptop were lost or stolen, I would absolutely replace it ASAP.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop has the great value to buy. I am satisfied with the big storage and fast CPU. The only complain is the screen is a little bit dark, and the fan is noisy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This keyboard is amazing. No squish. Bough it for college and it is living up to all of the rave reviews of the ThinkPad keyboard that I bought it for. Looks like it will be easy to crack open if I ever need to modify it. One complaint I will make is that I wish the battery was better. For how hefty it is, they could have put a bigger battery in it, but it is very quiet, so I'm guessing a lot of that bulk is heat-pipes.
Oh, and I love the integrated camera cover. fantastic little feature.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've purchased many of these laptops for my co-worked over the last few years. The are a good value and pretty dependable. While we've had a couple with issues, overall they are built well and handle the day to day duties of an office worker.
