Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

20VE00G0RU A 63-year-old Lenovo ThinkBook 15 G2 ITL was purchased in January 2022. The keyboard is extremely irritated. You can get an external one, but why use this laptop when a system unit would be two times as affordable? I had been using a Lenovo ThinkPad before that. I am aware that habits are difficult to overcome because I am used to them. But it goes too far. But one day, I'll get used to it. It doesn't really matter which manufacturer, I thought as I examined the new ThinkPad's price tag. I looked at all the models while adjusting the parameters: keyboard backlight, ethernet connector (now irrelevant because I'll use a thunderbolt expander with several usb3, rj45, hdmi, and cards-readers), camera curtain, additional memory slot or from 16GB soldered, and the i3-i5 processor of the most recent generations is not BGA (like so that you can change the percentage to i7). which I probably won't do). While searching for typical models in response to the request above, I also wanted to put a 2.5-inch hard drive (although if I removed the ethernet, I might have found something). There is a summary table for models, which is a major bonus for Lenova. By selecting your location, you can download it to Excel and access it there by the internals (what type of memory is used, how much is available, can an HDD be used, and which screen). None of this exists at Acer. A number of reports on how they purchased a laptop revealed that he unexpectedly lacked a keyboard lighting. The trick behind 7 seals is knowing the complete specifications before purchasing (yes, at least what matrix and whether it will flicker). Everything is available to Lenova in this regard.

Pros
  • - in particular, 20VE00G0RU does not have a screen that flickers. "Pencil test" was entirely passed: - the mechanical shutter of the camera, which has a flaw in the shape of a red eye in closed mode that is very similar to the hue of the lens flare. The laptop is light, but also a bit weak and bends a little when you grab it from one corner. The camera is actually closed, but it glares red and appears that this is an open lens. This Lenovo ThinkPad feels like a plastic toy in comparison to the monumentality of the previous model. - the full-size SD card reader's presence (but no microSD reader)
Cons
  • - There is only room for an SSD; there is no room for an HDD; there are only two full-fledged USB ports. - The minimum screen brightness is too high to function in complete darkness. One of which will be taken up by a mouse wire or a mouse transmitter (a thunderbolt port expander can fix this). But why do you bring extra wire garlands with you? A laptop is purchased for portability, not to be hung from external devices. Furthermore, it's very difficult to find a standard Bluetooth mouse (without USB transmitters) because they get hot when used. Summer will be even worse because there are no indicators for the SSD or Wi-Fi, and the keyboard backlight only has two settings of brightness that hardly differ from one another. It is challenging to figure out why a computer suddenly freezes. Evidently, it is believed that, unlike HDD, SSD cannot have a long response time. The keyboard is the main drawback. The keyboard backlight has a hard PWM (flicker), which is annoying when reading from the screen at night (keyboard flicker is noticeable with peripheral vision). The keyboard backlight has a cold shade, very different from the screen and the power button (seen in the first photo). The screen and the power button smoothly illuminate, and the keyboard buttons still have an intermittent loop evident in the second blurred photo. - The F1–F12 function buttons are not separated into groups. With a completely unnecessary and ineffective numeric keypad to the right, it is impossible to find, for instance, F5 in this row of buttons without peering into the letters. It and the arrows both have identical Home and End buttons. The way text editors operate varies. Then you must press Ctrl + Fn + Left Arrow to make Home work as it should after "7" is printed for End instead of "1" for Home. Editing and reading the text results in trash. The Ctrl+Alt+End combination cannot be sent via RDP. Fn must be blocked before switching NumLock on or off. This is not a problem on the older Lenovo ThinkPad.
