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.

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

Lenovo's ThinkBook 13s is a deliberately intriguing combination of a business notebook with consumer flourishes, aimed at the vaguely-defined space...

The ThinkBook 13s is ultimately a notebook designed for small and medium-sized businesses. It doesn’t have the extra graphical grunt you’ll need if you plan on doing any serious video rendering or gaming.

Lenovo's ThinkPad family has a lot of fans, but not everyone can spend ThinkPad money on a laptop.

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 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.

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.

Affordable; Packs HDMI, USB-C, and USB-A ports; Decent screen; Impressive battery life

No SD or microSD card slot; No Thunderbolt 3 port; Keyboard layout not up to ThinkPad standards
