Specifications

Laptop Type

Laptop PCs with Windows operating system are the most common notebook computers, followed by MacBooks and Chromebooks.

The traditional clamshell laptop design, as opposed to 2-in-1 convertibles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Processor

The Ryzen 3 Pro 7335U is a lower-mid-range laptop processor. It’s a great CPU for the routine day-to-day computing tasks. If you occasionally do heavier tasks like video editing, the pricier Ryzen 5 and 7 5000U options are a better choice. If you regularly do heavy tasks, you should consider the H series high-performance CPUs. Being a Pro-branded chip, the CPU provides additional business-use system management and security features over the base version.

Graphics

The AMD Radeon Graphics 660M comes integrated into the AMD Ryzen processors. It is a basic GPU capable of running only light games and select heavier titles on the lowest settings. The Radeon 660M is a precursor of the faster 760M.

RAM Size

The 8GB RAM size is the recommended minimum in 2025. It provides comfortable multi-tasking for the most home and office users. Keep in mind that 8GB may be not enough for some demanding programs and many newer games.

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

46.5 WHr Battery

Weight

3.9 lbs

Operating System

Windows 11 Home operating system is designed for everyday users who need a fast, intuitive, and connected computing environment. The Pro version is recommended only for select business users that need extra enterprise features.

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.

Other Notable Features

Customizable laptops allow you to choose different component and feature options before the purchase.
