Lenovo Thinkbook is Better than You think 

Thinkbook is a bit more premium, ideapad 5 is somewhat too. Ideapad 1 - very basic, ideapad 3 - basic). Kinda like this)

Same here. Can't decide which one to go for.

I would buy thinkbook over ideapad 3 if it is 10-15% more expensive for same specs

Agreed

Same bro I came here a year after you and there is still not enough comparaisons

Always Welcome !

Congratulation !!! I really like thinkbooks too.

@@alegreviews Yes. I just bought a used HP G3 elite book and it has a horrible BIOS, wasn't compatible with *nix and the USB left side wasn't working. I returned it. I was torn between getting a used thinkpad or a more generic/consumer laptop with better hardware. Then comes along the thinkbook which is a hybrid between a business line laptop with respect to build quality and consumer grade laptop with respect to access to better hardware. An amazing job done by the team over at Lenovo. Truly hitting market niches with sniper like accuracy! Bravo 👏👏

Yes, Thinkbook is in a good spot. G3 elitebooks are pretty old now, G9 are already for a while on the market. Intel Elitebooks cost too much, however you can sometimes get a good on one with AMD, because people who buy elitebooks generally prefer Intel.

Yes

I think pretty standard for something like that. I never really expect much from a laptop. I almost always use external ones

I9 12th gen is great, gonna be good for another 10 years. I’m sure it that

What specs is your?

It works fine. If you load CPU to 100% all will heat

Any laptop is not worth much after several years of use. Same way as phones, or TVs. They get outdated quickly and lose value over time

@@alegreviews what I mean to say is, parts may be hard to find since this laptop is not in my country. What do you also think about ThinkBook G16p over this or Zephyrus base model?

I think G16P are more expensive. And ROG Zephyrus line is premium gaming and also a lot more expensive.

I think it’s average. I honestly never expect much from laptop speakers. I sometimes use a bluetooth JBL

Idk. I never anything at full price. Always on sale

@@alegreviews what's the price you paid?

Five hundred and change, don’t remember now

@@alegreviews ok cool

No, lowest specs and gonna be laggy. I think you can play gta 3-4

yes, and better build quality overall

Bottom is definitely plastic. The rest felt like aluminum, but I m not sure

feels like some metal, maybe aluminum

I would never buy extended warranty. First of all Lenovo has good warranty for 1 year of their own. Lenovo is easy to deal with. So if you buy like a 2 year warranty for like $100 - it's totally not worth it. Let's say it breaks down in 2 years - let's say it's a 10% possibility. Then you gonna waste time to deal with them and they repair it with sometimes 3rd party parts. Laptop will be 2 year old used worth maybe $250. So You want to spend $100 for 10% chance of it to repair a $250 laptop that broken may still cost like $100 or whatever. So $100 for 10% chance to save $150. That's like a really really bad gambling against yourself. I never buy any electronics warranties, warranties/insurances overall make money on you.

You are right, I didn’t notice probably because was looking to the phone screen I used for shooting the video

@@alegreviews Don't let this happen again.

I am sorry, all info I could find: 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) TN 220nits Anti-glare, 45% NTSC

When you ship laptop for repair - never ship in retail box and must be without charger. Repair people don’t ship it back. Same with all manufacturers. That’s how I lost one of expensive Microsoft chargers. Happened to be with Dell, when they supposedly replaced motherboard but problem remained. I feel sorry for you. You are really unlucky with it
