[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an upgrade from a Lenovo Thinkpad P51s. I ordered my P15s with a i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The screen is the default option (no upgrade). So far, the speed is impressive. The keyboard is clean, meaning it's not clunky or overly soft. The fingerprint is quick to recognize me. I paired this with a thunderbolt 3 gen 2 dock which is a great combination. I'm running 2 external monitors plus the laptop as the 3rd monitor. Once I receive the necessary diplayport cable, I'll add a 3rd external monitor and no longer use the laptop screen when docked. No bloatware that I could find. The screen could be brighter but it won't be used everyday for my use. The speed of the processor / RAM / SSD combo is more than sufficient. I usually operate with 7-9 GB of RAM in use. The speaker quality was a pleasant surprise - definitely an upgrade from the P51s. The pointer is sensitive but I can adjust that. The weight is light for days of travel. So far, the laptop is not overly warm and I don't hear the fan. It seems to be a great solution for those of us wanting power without sacrificing portability. That is why I choose this over the P15 which seemed a bit heavy for travel. I also didn't want the extra heat that the P15 generates.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are simply fantastic machines. Durable, quick, they get the job done and done well. These and the X1 Carbon series are the to-go for my company.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent so far. Happy with the speed and performance. Intel i5 and 16 GB RAM. Great value on a high performance laptop.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sharp edges - literally!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to use my laptop in my hand on the couch, the only problem is the edges of this laptop is so sharp it hurts my hands. How is something like this missed? The most important aspect about a laptop is portability and comfort, it should be at the forefront of the design phase! I'm speechless! The 11th gen CPU is amazing, if only I could hold the it long enough to enjoy it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought to use with Ubuntu, normally works with well thinkpads but I ran into the issue where the laptop would overheat and shutdown. Apparently it is a known issue.
