Description of 15.6" Lenovo ThinkBook 15 G2-ITL 1920x1080, Intel Core i5 1135G7 2.4 GHz, RAM 8 GB, SSD 256 GB, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, Windows 10 Pro, 20VE009BRU, Mineral Grey
- Minimalist in design; no bloatware prevents installation of your preferred operating system.
- The Windows 10 installation process is not documented. In the following comment, I address this flaw:
- To be more exact, the display on model 20VE00G0RU does not flicker. "Pencil test" results: a perfect 100 - a camera having a mechanical shutter and a flaw in the shape of a red eye when the shutter is closed; the eye is the same color as the lens flare. The camera is shut, but it shines red and looks like an open lens; the laptop is lightweight but frail, bending slightly if you pick it up by one corner. After using the previous generation Lenovo ThinkPad, this one seems cheap in comparison. - It supports standard-sized Secure Digital (SD) cards but not smaller microSD cards.
- Only an SSD can be added inside, and there are only two total USB ports available. The minimum screen brightness is also too high for use in complete darkness. Which means you'll need a port extender for your Thunderbolt cable or wireless mouse if you want to use both. But there's no reason to bring along more wire garlands. A laptop computer is not intended to be permanently attached to other parts of the user's environment. The keyboard gets warm when used frequently and it's hard to get a regular bluetooth mouse (without usb transmitters). Worse still, there are no visual cues to indicate whether or not the SSD or Wi-Fi are functioning; this will be especially problematic come summer. It's not always clear what causes a computer to freeze solidly. It seems people automatically think that SSDs can't have a slow reaction time (in contrast to HDDs). The keyboard is by far the biggest 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) and has a cold shade, very different from the screen and the power button (seen in the first photo). This is most evident in the second blurry image, where the screen and power button flash steadily while the keyboard buttons intermittently loop. - The F1–F12 function buttons are not organized into subsets. A entirely unnecessary and barely functional numeric keypad sits to the right, making it necessary to peek into the letters to locate buttons like F5 (the "File 5" button). It and the directional tabs both feature Home and End buttons that are identical. The functionality of text editors varies. When this happens, pressing Ctrl + Fn + Home and subsequently Ctrl + Fn + Left Arrow will make things operate as they should (instead of Home, "7" is printed; for End, "1" is printed). The text becomes useless to edit or navigate through. Sending Ctrl+Alt+End is not supported in RDP. You have to disable Fn before activating or deactivating NumLock. This works perfectly on my ancient Lenovo ThinkPad.
- The ideal combination and proportion of a laptop's many different parts for use in an office setting. to a sufficient degree, free from deficiency in any quality, and offered at an affordable cost. In general, the offer's competitiveness is at its highest right now.
- There are not any evident problems with it.
- - construction and installation - rock-solid! - Claudia, with her two-tiered illumination, has eliminated the competition! - screen matrix - fantastic! - an impressively potent processor and graphics card both manufactured by Intel - connections a simple process for hardware upgrades
- rather than generalizations, they are more specific.
- Lovely, well-equipped, and with everything in its correct location.
- Wi-Fi, a Plastic Case, and a Battery
- reasonable price. I chose the cheaper variant without an operating system. I already had the Windows license key. Also, based on my views, purchasing Windows separately—even from the Microsoft store—is more cost-effective than purchasing one already installed. good construction. Nothing squeaks or jerks. Although composed of aluminum, the lid and deck are surprisingly thin (although nothing bends anywhere). It appears to be thicker in my Toshiba Satellite 2022. Expandability: You can include an additional memory bar and M2 SSD. Quiet. Due to the Ryzen 3 CPU series' excellent heat management, the 4300U is completely silent when idle. The keyboard is quite cozy. also excellent lighting. like a lot of Lenovos. Outstanding compared to all tested keyboards from HP, Acer, and notably ASUS. Only the keyboard from the MSI gaming line is marginally superior (GF75, for example), but we did not like its look. RJ-45, 2 USBs, 2 USB type C, HDMI, and cardReader make up a good collection of connectors.
- The margin for screen brightness is limited, which is the only big downside I have so far discovered. Instantly went into the brightest setting. 250 nit Matrix (LG Philips LP156WFC-SPD1). Matrix IPS (TN changed colors depending on the viewing angle, this one only changes the brightness from the viewing angle). The soldered memory is not the fastest, which is the second relative drawback (8gb DDR4-3200 SDRAM, 22-22-22-52 CR1). Yet, there is room for expansion, and this has no impact on daily operations. The third relative disadvantage is that this approach is not used in retail sales (to feel it). just internet retailers.
- Superb in appearance and strength Rapid NVMe SSD Screen protector made of metal (bottom and body - plastic) Inviting backlit keyboard with FN key operation selection and a dedicated RJ45 network jack There are sufficient USB ports. The Type C port allows for use of any 65W TypeC PD charger from a third party: No need to lug about your Energea or Baseus anymore; you may leave it at home or at the office. Excellent IPS display, delivering a full sRGB color gamut at a comfortable level of brightness. Expansion possibilities that are both viable and attractive The preloaded Windows 10 Pro version has a serial number that is permanently affixed to the motherboard's BIOS. Quiet
- Because of the wagon-like shape of the inside, the battery compartment, the manufacturer could have simply put a more robust battery. I'd want a more robust chassis design.
- Fast and high-performance processor
- A little torn
