| 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 affordable 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, budget-oriented E series and more. While the E series are affordable by the business laptop standards, you can also find good deals on more premium models, primarily refurbished. |
| Laptop Type |
Laptop PCs with Windows operating system are the most common notebook computers, followed by MacBooks and Chromebooks. Windows PC laptops offer the widest range of hardware options and price points, giving users more flexibility. The traditional clamshell laptop design is considered to be the standard one, 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. |
| 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 |
Even the cheapest laptops with basic specs, besides smoother running mid-rangers, 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. Studying, Schoolwork and Online Education Laptops optimal for studying, schoolwork, 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, such as IPS panels. 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 |
The 14-inch diagonal offers a decent screen real estate that’s close to the common 15.6″ and 16″, while enabling a compact laptop design. |
| Screen Resolution |
Full HD (FHD) is the most common laptop screen resolution today. It offers good image sharpness and a decent amount of screen space for the user interface and applications. However, it doesn’t match the visual clarity of top-tier 4K Ultra HD. On the plus side, FHD typically consumes less power than 4K, making it more energy-efficient for everyday use. |
| Screen Features |
Touchscreens in modern mobile computers support multi-touch finger input. On select models, they also support active digitizer pens for creative use and note taking. Touch-enabled laptops come in the standard laptop form with added touchscreen functionality or with 2-in-1 convertible laptop / tablet designs. Read more about pros and cons of touchscreen laptops. Displays based on IPS technology provide much wider viewing angles than the budget-class TN screens. |
| Processor |
The i5-1145G7 is a typical mid-range processor. It’s excellent for the daily home and office tasks, as well as occasional heavy duties like multimedia creation. The i5 is faster than the less expensive i3, but slower than the pricier i7 variant. Thanks to built-in Intel vPro system management technology, it is suitable for business use. |
| Graphics |
The Intel Iris Xe or simply Intel Xe graphics of the 11th, 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors delivers an improved, yet still basic, 3D gaming performance over the widely used Intel UHD. But, it greatly lags behind the gaming-class GPUs like the Nvidia GeForce GTX / RTX series found in gaming-class laptops. Overall, the Iris Xe is suitable only for light gaming. Check out how the Intel Xe compares to other laptop graphics processors on the chart here. |
| RAM Size |
In 2026, 16GB and greater RAM sizes are recommended for daily computing, multitasking, and gaming. Also, some specialized programs require a lot of RAM to work smoothly. |
| 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 | Keyboard without Dedicated Number Pad The keyboard has no separate numeric pad you can usually find on the right side of the keyboard on many laptop models. |
| Multimedia & Communication | Web Camera in 720p HD This is the most common web camera resolution in laptops. However, it’s low in comparison to camera resolutions of modern smartphones, so it can’t produce as sharp picture. 720p cameras are being gradually replaced by sharper 1080p in newer laptops. Stereo Speakers Modern mobile computers usually have built-in stereo speakers. Built-in Microphone The laptop has a built-in microphone, which is a common laptop feature just like web cameras. |
| Networking & Wireless | Wi-Fi 5 802.11AC Wireless The 802.11AC is one of the older wireless networking standards. It’s also known as Wi-Fi 5. 802.11AC is succeeded by 802.11AX Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11BE Wi-Fi 7 that offer data transfer speed and multi-device connectivity improvements. Bluetooth Bluetooth enables you to wirelessly connect the computer to Bluetooth peripherals like Bluetooth mice and keyboards, as well as to smartphones, and other compatible devices. |
| Ports & Slots | 2 x USB Type A The laptop has a pair of the traditional USB Type A ports. 1 x USB-C The device has a single USB-C port. 2 x USB-C The device has two USB-C ports. HDMI HDMI is a widely used digital video output port. You can find corresponding HDMI input ports on most computer monitors and TVs. Video Out via USB-C The device can deliver digital video output via USB-C. microSD Card Slot The laptop has a slot for MicroSD memory cards. These are small SD cards commonly used in smartphones. Combo 3.5mm Audio Jack This laptop has a standard 3.5mm combo audio jack that supports both headphone output and microphone input simultaneously. Thunderbolt Technology Thunderbolt is a high-speed peripheral connectivity technology for compatible devices. The Thunderbolt connection goes via USB-C interface. |
| Battery Capacity | 50 WHr Battery |
| Weight | 3.4 lbs |
| Thickness | 0.7 inches |
| 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. |
| Laptop Condition |
As opposed to brand new laptops, the refurbished ones may have cosmetic wear, older specs, and shorter warranties. But on the positive side, they cost less than the brand new. In comparison to laptops sold as used, refurbished models are tested and restored. |
| Year of Release |
Laptop models released back in 2021 don’t have the latest components, but are still very usable for daily computing. |
| Warranty |
