Lenovo ThinkBook 15 Review! How does it stack up against the ACER or Dell?

Buy your own: geni.us/tjYSkTa
Today we review the Lenovo ThinkBook laptop to see how it stacks up against the ACER Aspire 5 or the Dell Inspiron 15.
Our review unit was equipped with:
-16GB DDR4 RAM
-11th-gen i5
-512GB NVMe (user upgradable)
Bang for your buck the ThinkBook is equipped very well with modern tech that handles every day tasks and then some with poise and grace.
LCD: The LCD is bright, colorful (100% SRGB Gamut), has good angles (it's an IPS display), is FHD (1080p), and while you can't touch it, it's solid for movies, as there is no noticeable backlight bleed.
Keyboard: Great tactile feel, responsible as hell, full size with a num pad in case you're doing a lot of data entry, and has a backlight for when you're typing in the dark.
Trackpad: Small, standard with nothing that stands out, and does ghost a little. They could have done with a better trackpad in this unit.
I/O: They included Thunderbolt 4. 'nuff said.
Features: Wifi 6, Bluetooth, a decent webcam with a built in privacy shutter, finger print scanner, TB4 and USB-C charging. For the price they gave you a some decent bang for your buck.
Speakers: They distort and are on the tinny side. Classic laptop speakers and they aren't anything to write home about.
*Mobility*: 6 hours of practical battery life, but its made of good plastics and clocks in at about 3.75 lbs so traveling with it should be no problem.
Who is it for? Businesses on a budget. It's a good quality machine with god serviceability. The Think Pad is a better computer (depending on what version you buy) but its also much more expensive.

Most solid reveiw I've seen in a while

[@ComputerStuff]

Thank you!

[@Onimusouka]

Thanks for the review. Definitely a solid machine, but your review sealed the deal for the people that could benefit from this. Thanks.

[@ComputerStuff]

Really appreciate the nice comment and support!

[@SriLanka0]

Like the presentation style and the subtle oratory variations. Talented. At the same time, informative.

[@ComputerStuff]

Thank you! I appreciate the nice feedback!

[@Tekz12]

I've been eyeing this model for a while now, but the small 43wh battery stopped me from buying it.

[@lewythepooie]

Great Review. I was really suprised how little likes you got the video. You should be famous!

[@ComputerStuff]

I'm trying! haha. Thank you.

[@tigradigra]

That's an excellent review! Thanks a lot!

[@ComputerStuff]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sauravl.c.4353]

How is the display? I've heard pretty bad reviews about its display. Would you recommend any other better laptop at this price range?

[@ComputerStuff]

I'd recommend Dell Inspiron 16 as an alternative.

[@MubinNoor]

I've found a listing for around $470 for the i7 version of this with 16GB RAM and 512SSD. Seems very solid but I'm most concerned about future proofing since my country isn't big on Lenovo repairs, Dell and HP parts are more accessible so yeah, kinda torn on it.

[@ComputerStuff]

Great deal but after market support is something to consider.

[@rohitkssahoo27]

Bro could you please tell me the website, where you got this listing of $470..?

[@aungyekyaw3712]

where can we find that listing bro

[@ComputerStuff]

Pricing on this model has increased since we shot the video. @@aungyekyaw3712

[@theking-hr6vt]

you are so lucky ibuy it whith 1500dollar

We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents. ... There's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.

[@tracyc.1005]

I am not finding this laptop anywhere. The link provided doesn't return this model. I have even tried the Lenovo website and they don't have it. I would have to customize which involves a 5 MONTH wait! I'm in school now, I can't wait that long. Unfortunate because I really want to buy this! Great video.

[@ComputerStuff]

Thank you! Sorry you can't find the machine, they may be having an issue with inventory on these. Maybe search eBay for them, otherwise Dell has some good sales going on now.

[@NathonHay]

I found it at Back Market 9/27/2023.

[@chandrasekhar630]

i am using i5 12th gen version of this laptop and its good

[@ComputerStuff]

Glad to hear! Thanks for weighing in!

[@techodisha4836]

Bro I am also considering buy ryzen 7 7730 version. Should I go for it. I am buying for study and a little bit of music making like fl studio. Which one should I buy Asus Vivobook S15 Evo series 12500h or this one.

[@techodisha4836]

By how is the battery backup

[@ComputerStuff]

My money, I'd go with the Lenovo! @@techodisha4836

[@KKhantWai]

Yes. I got one but not the 15, mine is 14 inches one and pretty good to do my daily tasks. One thing is that the laptop itself is pretty heavier than I expected and it makes me feel like carrying a rock in my backpack with the charger. But overall, no laptop can compare at this price.

[@ItsyBitsyAbby]

Been eyeing a Thinkbook 14 gen 5 i5 13th gen 16gb ram 512 ssd intel iris Xe. Do you think it's good for teachers?

[@ComputerStuff]

Great for teachers!

[@mrbish82]

Nice review, difficult to find reviews for laptops that arent stock footage, text to speak videos that feel like they are just auto generated AI scripts.

[@ComputerStuff]

That's what we're here for! To filter through that crap!

[@user-fj7ws3hm2h]

I like this machine. I want to buy one. The Gen 4 models all come with a blue light filter on the 100% sRGB screens. Did your machine have a blue light filter? I hate those filters. Is there any way to remove the effect of the filters and return to normal colors? This filter is preventing me from buying the machine. Your videos are good quality. Keep it up. 👍👍

[@ComputerStuff]

Ours didn't have it. A lot of laptops are coming with them. I dont think there is a way to remove it because its baked in the glass or plastic of the screen :\

[@timothytumusiime2903]

The initial presentation made me think of eastern european dude with English as a forth language after, Serbo-Croatian, Russian and Italian 😅

[@ComputerStuff]

Hell yeah!

[@svideo780]

I do a lot of photoshop and CAD modeling and a lot of the Adobe suite and video editing here and there. Do you think this laptop is reasonable to buy if I can get it for 200$ used?

[@ComputerStuff]

Great deal.

[@abdullahibnehassan2004]

Is it the Lenovo ThinkBook 15 G4 IAP? I'm thinking about getting the corei7 1255u one.

[@ComputerStuff]

Good choice.

[@reshmafaithe]

Lenovo ThinkBook 15 Gen 5, Business Laptop (15, Windows 11, AMD Ryzen 7) - is it worth for a MBA student? ... I have no idea... Battery back up is important.. could u pls help me with this 😢. Tq

[@ComputerStuff]

[@user-ne9nz2pw6x]

What do you think about Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G6 IRL Intel i5 1335u wuxa 16" 16gb ram 512 ssd intel iris Xe?

[@ComputerStuff]

That is a solid setup!

[@user-xz7to5zg8b]

Does Thinkbook 15 g3 have backlit keyboard? I'm buying it tomorrow. If it doesnt,I wont buy it☹️☹️

Yes most of them do.

hi sir, can i do rendering with this laptop?

[@ComputerStuff]

You can!

[@debsonmp]

Are the speakers terrible?

[@ComputerStuff]

Great question. Does the video cover that?

[@bh4rgavfreefire222]

Can we play gta 5 in this laptop in high graphics smoothly?

[@ComputerStuff]

Not even close.

[@talesbysheero]

😂😂😂😂 Thank you!! I bought this blindly so Thank you for the review.

[@ComputerStuff]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@TheMaxymama]

How is it going so far? Do you have trouble with the hinges?

[@prabhuja7554]

Flat 180degree may help if u use for secondary larger display. lap screen may not block bigger display ...great review

[@ComputerStuff]

Thank you!

[@AndrewKwabula]

Aha. I am planning to buy it and use a Docking station to connect 2 23 inch monitors. I have been wishing the little screen was not there. Now I can floatten it and it will not obstract the screen that matter! Thanks, man,

[@mountfairweather]

Bobby Buchay !

[@ComputerStuff]

[@karokimbugua10]

Quick summary: The only good thing with the laptop is the battery life probably because of its size. The speakers are wack, and I mean wack! the screen also has this terrible reflection, you always have to adjust the angle anytime you change position

[@ComputerStuff]

Great summary!

[@omarmoran3097]

Oky thanks for the head up. It was one of the options of buying.

[@dr.strange6458]

it's a 350 dollar laptop at best..I Think it is overpriced

[@ComputerStuff]

Overpriced, perhaps. $350? Not quite.

[@takudzwamashamba7453]

This laptop is trash! Seriously the hinge is so messed up. It will break on you in the most unexpected ways and moments. Buy it at your own risk ⚠️

[@ComputerStuff]

Sounds like you got a 🍋!

[@OmeonOmeon]

I've had nothing but problems since I bought this crap, constant crashes to blue screen, freezes on standby, and poor performance. Support has been a complete mess and got the computer in a worse state than how I delivered it. After several attempts of repair (basically changing the hole motherboard twice), it's been returned for the third time now and they couldn't even manage to return the computer with it's charging cable. And this is just half of the story. Lenovo absolutely suck on so many levels that I will never bye any of their products ever again. Be warned!

[@H14307]

I've spotted you sending this exact same comment on a thinkbook 15 gen 3 ACL (AMD) review. While having a slow laptop sucks, it at least shouldn't be as bad as you said since modern processors are quite good. Anyways, the comment above doesn't make much sense to me as this is an intel system. Have a good day and hope you find the right laptop for you.

[@ComputerStuff]

I'm sorry to hear about your experience but it's an uncommon one and all of the customers we've sold these too have been very happy with them.

[@vulcanwolfopus4345]

Why would you replace a motherboard twice

[@OmeonOmeon]

@@vulcanwolfopus4345 Don't ask me, ask the idiots at Lenovo support.
