Specifications

Manufacturer

Based on the number of sold laptops, Lenovo is among the top 3 laptop manufactures in the world, besides HP and Dell. Lenovo is known for their renowned Yoga 2-in-1 convertibles, as well as ThinkPad business notebook PCs. They also make the widely used IdeaPad consumer laptops and Legion gaming notebooks.

Series

The renowned ThinkPad series business laptops by Lenovo include the ThinkPad X1 flagship ultraportables, the classic ThinkPad T and L series, ThinkPad P series mobile workstations and more.

Laptop Type

Business-class laptops are built for reliability and security. They feature durable designs, enterprise-level security features, and sufficient performance to support professionals in demanding work environments.

Performance

Laptops with standard performance are those with the widely used mid-range and upper-mid-range processors. They are an excellent choice for daily home and office computing, as well as slightly more demanding tasks like light gaming and light content creation. For hardcore gaming and professional content creation, high-performance laptops are the better fit.

Typical Use

The majority of laptops on the market, including the cheapest ones with basic specs, are suitable for the common everyday tasks like web browsing, emails, or document editing. Having a powerful and power-hungry laptop just to complete these tasks isn’t necessary.

Office and productivity laptop tasks typically involve word and spreadsheet processing, presentations, emailing, web research, and multitasking between business applications.

Laptops used for studying and online education offer reliable entry-level and mid-range performance, a good battery life, and support for multitasking and communication in a digital learning environment.

Web browsing and social media tasks don’t require high-end specs. They can be completed easily on entry-level and mid-range laptops with good network connectivity.

Unless you play the latest AAA games for which you need a gaming laptop, lighter games like Minecraft, Roblox, League of Legends, or Sims, you can run decently well on a regular mid-range laptop.

Laptops used for movie watching don’t have to include high-performance components, but they should offer decent screens with wide viewing angles.

For professional content creation such as high-resolution photo and video editing or music production, a laptop with high performance is recommended. However, for occasional light content creation tasks like 1080p video and basic photo editing, mid-range performance is sufficient, too. In both cases, laptops used for visual content creation should have at least decent screens.

In most cases, coding tasks like web development or app creation aren’t overly hardware demanding. But still, it is beneficial if your laptop provides at least standard performance and 16GB of RAM or higher for seamless multi-tasking and running OS emulations.

Screen Size

Besides the traditional 15.6-inch, the 16-inch laptop screen size is among the most popular ones. They both offer a great balance between display size and laptop portability.

Screen Resolution

This screen resolution provides a decent image sharpness and a lot of space on the display for the user interface and programs. It’s similar to the popular Full HD 1920×1080 but a bit taller. These resolutions aren’t as good as the premium-class 4K Ultra HD and similar.

Screen Features

Displays based on IPS technology provide much wider viewing angles than the budget-class TN screens.

Anti-glare coating reduces ambient light reflections, as opposed to the glare-type displays with more vivid colors.

Processor

The AMD Ryzen 5 230 is a mid-range laptop processor launched in early 2025. With 6 cores, 12 computing threads, a maximal clock speed of up to 4.9 GHz, and a base 15 Watt power consumption, the Ryzen 5 230 is suitable for use in the mainstream laptop models that are optimal for the daily computing tasks and occasional heavier duties like multimedia creation.

Graphics

As an integrated graphics processor, the AMD Radeon 760M offers basic performance. However, it is faster than many other IGPs, such as its 660M precursor. Overall, the 760M can offer decent smoothness for playing lighter games and select heavier titles on low detail settings.

RAM Size

16GB and greater RAM sizes are recommended for heavy multitasking, gaming, and specialized programs that require a lot of RAM.

Data Storage

256GB is a decent capacity. If you tend to download and store a lot of large files like movies and install many programs, 512GB or more is a better choice.

Keyboard & Touchpad

The keyboard has a separate numeric pad on the right side of the keyboard, but it has no keyboard backlight.

Battery Capacity

48 WHr Battery

Operating System

Windows 11 Pro operating system provides advanced security and business-focused features like BitLocker encryption and remote desktop access. For the majority of home and office users, the Windows 11 Home version is sufficient.

Weight

3.8 lbs

Year of Release

Laptop Condition

The brand new laptops, as opposed to open box, refurbished, and used, come sealed straight from the manufacturer. They are untouched and in pristine condition. The brand new laptops typically feature the latest hardware and offer full warranties.

Warranty

1-year is the most common laptop warranty period.
