I have one of these for work. It is amazing! So very solid and powerful for the price and battery life keeps me confident in the ability to make it through a day of meetings.
Hello Lon, if you could make a comparison between hp pavilion aero 13 (you also reviewed) with this lenovo thinkbook 13s gen2, which one would you pick for photo editing with adobe lightroom ? Thanks, keep doing the great work !
Hey Lon, are you getting the Thinkbook 13s Gen4? This is the one with the new Ryzen 6000 APUs which have the RDNA 2 graphics! Would love to see a review of the new version of this laptop
i respect your opinion. i think the webcam is just crap and every 10 year old phone got a better camera. in times of corona virus this is no-go hardware, no matter if this is a business notebook or for private use.
Hi Lon - Unfortunately the $745 Intel model you mentioned and reviewed is sold out. There is a similarly priced AMD Ryzen 5 4600U version, but with a WUXGA (1920x1200) display instead of the WQXGA (2560x1600) featured in your video. It seems to me the AMD version is a downgrade given the different display but I have no idea how the processors compare. Do you agree, or would you say they're roughly comparable?
@@LonSeidman Thanks, I thought that to get lower performance with 11th gen that you had to go I3 1125G4. There must be an unlisted I5 11th gen or 10th gen is also available with this laptop?
Personally I think it would be cool if there was an AMD Ryzen version. Mainly because I like their integrated graphics better with the power of Radeon Vega
@@jackieboy1593 Ergonomics and fluidity of use. You have your hands in touch typing and "mouse" is always between your index fingers and your clicks are done with thumbs = You don't virtually ever have to move your hands out of typing position. It beats the living shit out of any touchpad. Plus for instance it's possible to use with ie. Fusion 360 to draw something in a tight spot, because of it's accuracy, which is way, way better than any touchpad. Now that's horrible experience to do even for couple of minutes using touchpad. But some people just don't get it.
@@jothain Interesting use case. I'm a software developer and have never seen even well seasoned vets do this, is there a particular niche where this is common? I'd love to learn more, as I clearly didn't know how to position my hands to use it effectively.
@@Raphaellllll Companies that do skummy things, lenovo locks specific hardware to their motherboards, for example you cant use any wifi card you want because the computer will reject it at boot

How's the display in bright areas
Is it good for graphic design software and accounting software?

Hey! Thanks for the review, especially for Linux part!

Special thank you for quick linux test!
Can you review a Lenovo Thinkbook 13s G4 with 12th gen intel i5 and 12th gen intel iris Xe graphic card
Hey Lon, how is the display for photo and video editing? Pretty accurate colors?
Thanks for always puting out great and trusted content.
i cant believe this man loaded up red dead 2 on a lenovo laptop.
I'm so early its still in 360p... been a while since this happened haha
5:22 Lon goes from :D to >:( hahaha
RUclips is taking a long time processing tonight for some reason..
@@LonSeidman Gotcha. Sorry for complaining.
@@dave4shmups RUclips is taking forever to process videos tonight for some reason.
@@LonSeidman No Worries!
@@LonSeidman there you go, youtube took its sweet time tonight eh? over 5 hours? well, i think i'll have to watch it again at 1080p!
360 Gang!

Every laptop camera sucks. I think the surface laptops and MacBooks only have good webcams
Back to the mother ship. Man I missed that saying lol
I said it for you! :)
Is it a 16gb ram ?
And an ios 7 ?
I don't understand the soldered ram units. What if it fails ?? Can we change that ? Or should we need to replace whole board ?
Hey Lon, just wanna ask, can this model be opened by one hand? Thanks
How's the Battery life? On heavy usage and normal usage??

I'm curious of this too
Is this laptop worth $1000? Anything else out there that's better, more reliable at the same price point?
Check out the acer swift x. It has an rtx 3050 ti with great colour accuracy and battery health.
Just bought one in excellent condition for 325! Feels like robbery lol!
Hello there, can we get a review for the 14s gen2 intel model of this thinkbook??
Lon where do you state the prices?
0:37 check the chapter markers
Lenovo is always on sale lmao
I would like to know if I can use Adobe Illustrator software as well as accounting software on this?
I have it for work. Provided by my employer.
I can't get the resolution any higher then 360p for this review.

I think you meant I3 version instead of I5 when you said that their was a lower performance version available.
There's a lower performance i5 available in some markets

@@glussier100 It varies based on region but I think they had one of the i5's without the Iris graphics according to Notebookcheck
@@LonSeidman Ah, ok then, thanks for the info.
Hi this model don't have touch screen

There is.
A TOUCH SCREEN? OMFG NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No trackpoint? Not interested.
Who uses that piece of crap nub?
@@jackieboy1593 all pros.
