   Go for it
   Great laptop. Delivered on time.First impressions -1. Great build, lid is metal, sturdy and robust.2. Looks good, handy, not that heavy.Boot1. First time gets booted with windows 11, start it up and do product registration pretty straight forward.Linux1. Obvious, booted it with ubuntu 22.04, got the FP drivers installed manually (again very straightforward)2. I got the 8GB ram it works fine, but i have juiced it up with 16gb so total 24gb3. 2 type c ports, all the ports ull ever need its built into the laptop.4. Two external monitors works smooth along with built in screen5. Keyboard is good, I really enjoy typing, tho it could have been little better. Yep its backlit works fine.6. Battery backup is not that good, couple of hours I get with normal usage, charges quickly, but have to keep charger handy7. On linux bluetooth and wifi gives you issues, which should be fixable with a usb wifi stickFinal thoughtsAfter considering a lot of laptops, and specifically for linux, this one was a perfect match. you get 8 and 16gb variant go for 8 you get it for 48, I got it for 45 (with offers). Totally worth the money, and it truly is an amazing laptop. #thinkpad.

   Decent Laptop
   I bought this laptop for my wife, who is a doctor with fairly light usage. Despite her profession, she’s quite tech-savvy, frequently using MS tools and exploring AI applications. The sound quality is good, and the battery lasts around 4–5 hours. The matte finish adds a nice touch to the overall design.

   An Ideal Laptop for Writers!
   I’m a writer, and I write novels. My previous choice of device for writing my books was an 11″ iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard. However, despite the immaculate hardware, the biggest shortcoming of that setup was iPadOS and limited professional writing apps like Scrivener. This is where the ThinkPad comes in. This is a reasonably light and portable laptop, but certainly not thin. Don’t let anybody fool you into thinking that this is a thin and light laptop because there are other offerings like the Asus ZenBook 14, Acer 14, Dell Inspiron and XPS, HP Aero, and MacBook Air, however, those offerings are significantly more pricey than this one. Technically, this sells at an MRP of 90-100k, but I bought this at 56k during a sale, and very often, the AMD variant is available for under 70k without sales.So, what do you get for that price? You get a laptop that is reasonably portable and light without compromising battery life and performance. With my usage, which is long reading sessions on a few tabs of Google Chrome and at least two hours of writing on Scrivener, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on and screen brightness at 100%, I’m comfortably getting to the end of the day with 6-8 hours of usage and around 30-40% battery still left. There was this one day where I didn’t charge the laptop before leaving home and still managed to get in a full day’s work with just 30% battery and battery saver on. Your mileage may vary, but I’m very satisfied with the battery life of this product.But, it’s not all roses here. The screen is a little dim and can be hard to view on bright days under direct light. The matte finish does help to keep reflections off, but it can collect dirt and grease over time and make the picture a little smudgy. Charging is great in that it does support PD USB C charging, however, it can be a little picky about which chargers work. For example, the 20W Apple iPad Charger does not charge it well, neither does a 33W Moto PD 3.0 charger work. A 45W Samsung PD charger does work just fine, however. The speakers are really bad on this; don’t expect any base or mids, like genuinely bad speakers. If you haven’t used a ThinkPad before, the typical trackpad orientation isn’t followed here because the click buttons are placed above the trackpad, which can take some time to get used to. While the Ryzen 7000 series chips are great in power management, they might not perform similarly to 13th-generation Intel processors but still have much better value than the Intel variants. Lastly, the keyboard backlight can be a little dim, not that experienced typists require one, so this works just fine for me. Lastly, sometimes an older stock can be shipped to you, and in my case, the laptop overcharged in the first charge cycle and didn’t switch on. I thought there was something wrong with the motherboard, but in fact it was just overcharging, which caused the sudden unresponsiveness, which I learnt of after a trip to the service centre. Though this isn’t specific to this model, you should know about it.Otherwise, the laptop is a great performer with great portability and a great feature set. If you find yourself writing a lot, or you are a developer writing long code, very few lines of laptops rival the ThinkPad series of keyboards. This laptop is all about business as usual, and I think you can’t go wrong with any variant if you choose to buy one. Just skip the AMD 5000 series and Intel 11th gen variants if you can and avoid spending cash for the 16 GB RAM – an extra user upgradeable RAM slot is available for an extra 32 GB and an extra M2 slot for an SSD up to 2 TB.

   Fantastic laptop
   Edit after 1 year: It started having a weird problem where it’s not turning on sometimes. Warranty expired just one month ago. Diagnostic test is showing no problem. Took to two different service centre but to no avail. Regretting buying from Amazon.The laptop is great to use. It’s lightweight and that is one of its perks for me being a college student.Performance is good. I have played GTA V on low settings and FIFA 19.Battery is what you would expect. If you keep it on “Best power efficiency” and use it for normal office work then it will give you 8 hours of usage. Although this will reduce with time.One thing I dislike about it is that it’s a fingerprint magnet. So now I’m looking for a cleaning kit! But other than that I’m happy with my purchase provided it runs fine for a few years.

   A good product to invest in.
   Excellent laptop for office work, it was recommended by most of the people to me… Don’t worry for the 14 inch size, it looks really impressive and also very easy to carry.. you won’t regret buying it, unless you have much higher expectations from the processor… I have also asphalt in it and it played seamlessly, sound is not very loud but yeah satisfactory.. I was also concerned about 300nits display, but it came better than my expectation… Overall for me it is value for money… But still I would suggest you to list out your priorities first then search for laptops… As for this one, it perfectly matches with all my need like MS office, work, my research work, littl bit of gaming, internet surfing, etc.

   Nice sturdy laptop
   Satisfied with the use. No heating issue so far. Battery lasts for 5-6 hr. Although I use it only for web browsing and other light work.

   Best in price segment
   Bought it at 55k, build quality is great, great keyboard comparatively. Works pretty smooth after all drivers are updated.
