I love this laptop! The battery life is great, keys feel great and the screen is colorful and bright enough for my needs with no problems! The discrete AMD 540X graphics really help it be a true "bang for your buck" thin and light laptop. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13s is a laptop that I thoroughly enjoyed, and it seems like it's a perfect laptop to hand out to a team in an SMB. My biggest issues with it are that there's no USB Type-C charging and that the audio is just OK.

On the other hand, the ThinkBook doesn't blow away the HP Envy 13 or Acer Swift 3; it merely joins them on your comparison shopping list. I'm all for more choice, but it's hard to pick a standout.

Lenovo is marketing the ThinkBook 13S as a business laptop with entertainment features. It looks great, durable, and portable. And given our experience with it, I think they're right. It's basically for work, meaning MS Office applications, emails, and web browsing.

Lenovo has added a new sub-brand to its laptop stable: the ThinkBook , which aims to serve small and medium-sized businesses. ThinkBooks combine the slim design and connectivity that consumers want with business-focused elements like extended service and warranty, and good security features.

Lenovo's ThinkPad family has a lot of fans, but not everyone can spend ThinkPad money on a laptop. Designed for small business customers (and regular consumers who want a more privacy-focused machine), Lenovo's new Thinkbooks seem like an experiment to boil the essence of a ThinkPad down into its...

Modern; professional design; Physical webcam shutter; Fingerprint on power button; Standard FIDO authentication and TPM; Great keyboard; Solid performance

No IR camera; Only one display panel option (and no touchscreen option; No Thunderbolt 3

Lenovo has plenty of business-oriented laptops out there thanks to the ThinkPad series but as expensive as they can get, not all businesses - such as small businesses with a small number of employees aren't able to spend so a fortune on laptops they can't purchase. Enter the ThinkBook series.

Lenovo's ThinkBook 13s is for small businesses but forgets what they really need
