• Good deal. Go for it.

  Pros- Sturdy Fast connectivity Fast processing Quick to boot Impressive technical specs Good audio quality Beautiful machine. Quiet. Do remember, pros are with respect to class. For the money you've paid, you are getting a good deal Cons - Brightness Limited ports. You'd need an external memory card reader. Otherwise, yeah, isn't really a deal breaker but one extra usb port would have been awesome. Going to list a con but I think that's for windows and not for drivers but somehow many software installation dialog boxes are blurry. I have scaled it to 125% and that has helped but I don't know whose problem this really is. Also, damn, the battery settings are complex. You can't just keep it simple now a days like windows 7 or 8 where you could choose between - save battery, lower brightness and performance OR high performannce and increased brightness plugged in. And one last con.. again not sure lenovo or Amazon .. but here is the thing, back in 2008, I bought my first laptop, lenovo y41077578cq and it came with a nice bag. Then in 2013 I bought lenovo essential g505s and I got a bag too. Now in almost 2021 I bought a laptop and I just got that despite shedding 45k .. I mean throwing in one or two accessories would be great. A bag atleast. All I got was laptop. That's all. I mean it's fine, but whatever happened to the extra goodies. Even my grocery vendors throws in some lemons and coriander with main vegetables

• A beast!

  Best laptop under Rs. 50,000 Period. One thing you should do after getting this is to turn of the vari-bright setting from amd radeon software. It changes the monitor gamma settings to compensate for the brightness. It is very jarring and weird. Over all a beast. Edit: When you go for a RAM upgrade for for a 3200MHz CL-22 model.

• Good performance but bad hardware and build quality.

  Saurabh Raut on Amazon.in | 01-01-1970

  This laptop is amazing at this price range as far as performance is concerned. But the hardware quality is low as compared to other Thinkpad models. Maybe the product I got has the manufacturing date in Nov. 2020 and I got the latest piece. No backlight keyboard is the biggest drawback of this model. the keyboard doesn't meet ThinkPad standards. I can easily identify the difference as I have already used the Thinkpad series in my office. Performance: It is amazing in this price range. Ryzen 5 is pretty fast. I can do all the office work along with the use of some heavy software. 8GB RAM can be an issue for some of the buyers. Front camera: Worst. Even my 5 years old laptop has better camera quality. Booting time and read-write speed: Pretty fast Overall if you are a performance-oriented person then this laptop is fine despite a few drawbacks. But the price range is pretty low and you are getting Ryzen 5 in 45K. So worth the price range.

• Devil in Disguise

  Guys, if you are here then you already know about Ryzen 4000 series. My god, I am in love with this one but unfortunately I bought ThinkBook 14 just three days ago, I am so pissed. Best Specs combination having Ryzen 5 4500u, Samsung SSD I guess with 3.5 GBps readwrite speeds, IPS FHD Panel, ThinkPad Model. It is just Wowzaa..Close your eyes and click the buy button.

• Great business laptop

  Hindi Reader on Amazon.in | 01-01-1970

  Great all-round performance. So let me start with what the problems could be with this machine. First is, it does not have a backlit keyboard. Second is, it ships with a 256 GB SSD There's an empty SSD slot but it didn't work for me Design: The laptop looks premium. The bezels are reasonable for a laptop in 2020. The top lid has 2 brands though, Lenovo and Thinkpad. The size is pretty compact for a 14 inch laptop. It comes with a fingerprint scanner built into the power button. Ports: It has a USB-C port with power delivery, making it possible for you to travel with it with just your phone charger. However, there are only 2 USB type A ports, out of which, only one is USB 3.1 Display: It comes with a beautiful 1080p IPS display. The screen brightness is pretty good when plugged-in. However, when the laptop is running on battery, it doesn't go very bright, making it difficult to work in outdoor conditions. Keyboard and touchpad: Keyboard is frankly quite amazing. The layout is a little different and gets a little getting used to. It doesn't however have an right click menu key. Performance: 4500U processor performs really well. With a reasonably heavy load while coding or handling large amounts of data, it doesn't get bogged down. Also, the fans run absolutely silent during regular web-browsing, running an IDE, playing videos etc. While gaming, it performs fairly well on last gen games 2013-2019 with 40-50 fps in the couple of games I threw on Hitman and NFS Rivals. I noticed a significant bump in performance when I upgraded to 16 GB RAM it ships with 8GB and you can buy another 8 GB for 3-3.5K. Long story short, you should upgrade the RAM if you want to play any games. Battery Life: Honestly, the battery life is pretty amazing. Even with a 45Wh battery, it goes on for 7 hours at 'Better Battery' mode I have attached Battery Report generated by Windows with the review. In real world usage, I get 10 hours of battery life with medium brightness with regular productivity tasks, like web browsing, sending emails etc. Build quality: The build quality is great. The Thinkpad E14 Gen 2 in India ships with top lid made of metal and the rest of the body made of plastic but good solid plastic. However, by Thinkpad standards, the build quality is below average. Bottom line: For 46k or even 57k it's a great deal. You get a fast processor, upgradable RAM and SSD, great build quality, USB-C charging and decent display making it a great work-horse.

• Perfect Work Laptop

  Iresh J. on Amazon.in | 01-01-1970

  The laptops good for work. Only a couple of issues - 1. No backlight on the keyboard 2. Its heavy, dont expect a macbook air 3. Its plastic, but solid 4. Touch pad is good, but not in the same ballpark as a macbook. All gestures work fine. Awesome things: 1. Upgradable ram 2. Upgradable storage 3. epic keyboard 4. Good battery life 5. 13.3 in laptop size you can easily fit it inside an amazon basic 13 in sleeve
