Laptop won't hold a charge and it's not clear which charging port to use. Online tutorials are no help. Have not had issues with any other models until this one.

Pleased

I love that the computer feels solid, like it might be around awhile. I am a school principal and I bought this as my personal computer. I am surprised how pleased I am with the sturdiness of the keyboard. I can go between several sites doing may different things using a second monitor and the computer feels like it can keep up with the several things I have going. It is small enough to fit in my bag, but big enough to comfortably get the job done. There is plenty room for me to do my work and have enough memory to to store items for my work and personal life. Also really enjoying that it has so many different ports. I haven't tried the credit card slot yet, but it will make fundraisers easier. Purchasing a Mobile Workstation was a fluke, but it was on sale, and I could not be more pleased. I feel like I have a computer that will be able to keep up with me and the times for several years

Quite powerful, and lightweight for as heavy duty as it is. Was not a bad price either.

Good heavy duty laptop

Good heavy duty laptop. It might be a bit heavier than others, but I like getting these laptops because the large vents that they have. This prevents it from overheating

5 Stars For School

It gets the job done for any college student. Make sure to keep the charger on you as often as possible, and don't forget to monitor the battery during use even if battery saver is always on!

Best laptop I have ever owned!

I have been around technology since the late 80's, and this is by far the best laptop I have used. My last laptop was from a company that starts with a "D", and it was on the other end of the spectrum. I highly recommend the ThinkPad.

Exactly what I was looking for

Loving my laptop so far. The screen brightness is fantastic, which was high on priority list since I enjoy working outdoors every now and then. Keyboard is responsive, like you'd expect from a thinkpad. It's quite a bit heavier than the Carbon X1 I transferred from but I'd happily trade a little extra weight for the added screen size.

Slim, fast, and reliable computer that is stylish

Slim, fast, and reliable computer that is stylish. I use this computer for school, streaming, business, and everyday tasks. The screen is nice and bright enough for any condition. I find myself turning down the brightness often, a problem with previous computers that has been resolved due to higher nits. Keyboard layout is well spaced, and the backlit keyboard works flawlessly. The computer is well built and feels like it will last transportation for years to come. Very pleased with my purchase and would not hesitate to buy another Lenovo product.

Good mobile workstation for college student

Chose the Thinkpad based upon build quality and not disappointed. Prices have gone up more than I expected, but wanted to send soon to college with more than he needed. Son is happy with new laptop, and so is Dad. Having had mobile workstations in the past, was pleasantly surprised at it being lighter than expected. The screen size and keyboard are excellent for computer science student.

Well pleased

By Randy C.

This was an upgrade from a Lenovo Thinkpad P51s. I ordered my P15s with a i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The screen is the default option (no upgrade). So far, the speed is impressive. The keyboard is clean, meaning it's not clunky or overly soft. The fingerprint is quick to recognize me. I paired this with a thunderbolt 3 gen 2 dock which is a great combination. I'm running 2 external monitors plus the laptop as the 3rd monitor. Once I receive the necessary diplayport cable, I'll...
