Lenovo ThinkBook 13s review – competitive 13-inch ultrabook (Core i5, UHD 620)

There's great value in this ThinkBook 13s as a competitively-priced ultrabook for everyday use, for multitasking and school/office work. It looks nice and it's well built, gets a good matte screen and a decent keyboard, handles daily chores without chocking and lasts for quite a while on a charge.

nice looks and excellent build quality; good matte IPS screen; fast and quiet keyboard; but rather shallow feedback; configurable and allows for RAM/SSD user upgrades; good thermals; properly designed cooling sollution; longer battery life tahtn I expected from a 45W battery; competitively priced

larger and heavier than most 13-inch ultrabooks; no Thunderbolt 3; card-reader or USB-C charging; rather small and clunky clickpad; and an always-on light around the finger sensor / Power Button; audible hum with daily-use; fans a bit more aggressive than they should; tinny speakers
