ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 Business Laptop, 14" FHD+ Display, AMD Ryzen 7 7730U (Beat i7-1255U), 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, FP Reader, Backlit Keyboard, HDMI, RJ45, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11 Pro, Black

Love how fast the system itself is. This machine will last for some time. very quite plus lasting battery life. I do charge it till 100% and unplug it so I am not letting the battery drain it's charging capacity. CPU usage is down to below 10% no matter how much browsers are opened. Download speed is excellent. W11 Pro updated to 24H2 took only 5 min. including restart. Restart system is so fast plus finger print to logon is even better. I'd highly recommend this machine. Ryzen Gen 5 7-7730U is awesome processor with 8 core. You can't also beat 40 gigs memory.

The size is perfect for me because I travel a lot. It's not heavy, it fits into my carry on (personal item) easily. I am not sure about battery life, it looks like I have to recharge the battery during the day, but then I have been using it nonstop from morning to late intothe night.

Love it. Just what I need. Fast and easy to use. Especially love the lighted keyboard. Great when I work on a flight.

I bought a refurbished item. It appears indistinguishable from a new one. Pros: Lightweight and fast for its class. Good battery life. Cons: It will not boot from a USB drive. I've tried updating the BIOS and changing the BIOS settings. A web search suggests this is a common problem with this model. If you are planning to install Linux or some other operating system this is not the laptop you want. Update: It took a little persistence but I finally got my Thinkpad to boot from a USB so I could install Linux. Here's what worked for me: 1) Update the bios using the Lenovo support page 2) During startup enter bios settings and disable secure boot 3) Use a version 3.x usb drive. Old usb 2.0 drives didn't work for me. 4) Download the free rufus application and use it burn your boot drive. 5) During startup hit F12 and then choose USB 3.0 drive. I hope this helps.

nice and best laptop ever

I purchased this computer in May 2024 from Amazon. The computer stopped working approximately 6 months after purchase, at the end of November 2024 - blue screen. I first worked with Microsoft, and they did try various approaches, all to no avail. They believed it was most likely a hardware problem. Lenovo refused to consider it under warranty because my receipt from Amazon did not have the serial number on it. It was provided by a third party, PCOnline, whom I also contacted, and they verified that serial numbers are not shown by Amazon for "confidentiality" reasons. I had many emails back and forth with Lenovo, to no avail, as their sell date for the computer was when they sold it to a third party, and the fact that I bought it from Amazon within the normal time for a warranty was not considered as valid as I couldn't produce the serial number on my receipt. I also had registered the computer with Lenovo in May, my date of purchase, but that did not affect their position. At a loss, I bought another computer, and brought the Lenovo to a local repair place, who confirmed it was a hardware failure. After again trying to work with Lenovo, I brought it to another local repair store, who are trying to find a motherboard on Ebay to replace my faulty one. So far, no luck. I was a loyal Lenovo user before this treatment, and had bought several before with good results, but this experience has turned me against Lenovo going forward. I think machine failure may have been a fluke, but the "customer service' was non existent. Therefore, I cannot recommend purchasing a Lenovo from Amazon.

Finally a nice solid laptop, not... chintzy like so many laptops are built. Seems like it will last a while. Not a ton of bloatware, started right up with no complications. Has a nice port selection, runs fast, looks good. No complaints from mom either, which is key!

It is a great laptop at that price, had to return it since my laptop was recovered after 2 days
