Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2 review: The ThinkPad of the future is still held back by AMD
It's still my favorite ThinkPad
Lenovo's ThinkPad Z13 is my favorite of the company's business laptops. The second-generation model is very similar to the first, with only a new finish and Ryzen 7040 processors as its key upgrades.
Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 (Gen 2) review: Futuristic ThinkPad falls behind in some notable areas
The ThinkPad Z16 (Gen 2) primarily received a performance upgrade; is it enough to keep it relevant in 2024?
Lenovo gave its ThinkPad line a bit of a shakeup at CES 2022, unveiling Z13 and Z16 models with a more modern design than some of the longer-running stables. I tested the original 16-inch model and was mostly on board with the new look, and Lenovo has now sent me a second-gen refresh to test. The design and features haven't really changed compared to the first generation, with Lenovo focusing mainly on a bump to performance.
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook review: Surprisingly good and affordable
With a great FHD touchscreen and lightweight design, the IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook packs plenty of value for a device under $400.
You don't need a lot of money to get a great Chromebook. ChromeOS is a great, lightweight operating system, and because you don't need powerful specs to accomplish basic tasks like web browsing, you can get a Chromebook for less than $1,000. If you're on an even more limited budget, there are Chromebooks for you, too. One of them is the new IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook for a little over $300. Even though it's not the most premium when compared to some other devices and ChromeOS tablets, it still manages to impress.
Lenovo ThinkPad T14s (Gen 4) review: A more mobile version of the T14 workhorse
The fourth-generation ThinkPad T14s hasn't changed much compared to its predecessors, but it remains a stalwart option for professionals
Lenovo's ThinkPad T14s, now in its fourth generation for 2023, launched earlier this year after an unveiling at MWC. It was revealed alongside its ThinkPad T14 sibling, which is a more affordable but thicker and heavier alternative (among other minor differences). The "s" in the T14s signifies its slimmer design, which is ideal for those who need a workhorse business laptop that's easier to carry on flights or back and forth between the home and office.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga (Gen 8) review: A business convertible without compromises
The convertible ThinkPad X1 Yoga has now entered its eighth generation, and it's holding strong as the best business convertible around.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga, refreshed for its eighth generation in 2023, can be viewed as the convertible counterpart to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. It's one of the most premium laptops that Lenovo has to offer, with an eye-watering starter price that doesn't get any more reasonable as you add performance and features.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 review: Still finding ways to improve the best business laptop
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is better than ever as it enters its 11th generation.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is Lenovo's flagship premium business ultrabook, sitting at the top of the best Lenovo laptops alongside the convertible ThinkPad X1 Yoga. The X1 Carbon is now in its 11th generation, with refinements to the look, feel, and performance. This is the laptop I always recommend first to busy professionals, at least as long as they have fairly deep pockets.
Lenovo ThinkVision P32p-30 monitor review: A big screen to boost your productivity
The 32-inch Lenovo ThinkVision P32p-30 is an excellent productivity monitor with great connectivity options. But it's very expensive.
Let's cut to the chase: the Lenovo ThinkVision P32p-30 is an excellent monitor for productivity. Its large panel makes it great for multitasking, and its very sharp 4K resolution helps you see everything on screen. Plus, it provides a wide range of connectivity options, so it's easy to build your setup around it. Most notably, it supports Thunderbolt 4, so you can connect it to your laptop using a single cable, and it can even charge said laptop at up to 96W.
Lenovo ThinkServer SR250 V2 review: Mighty performance in a compact package
A capable business machine for small to large applications.
When shopping around for rack servers for business applications, there are fewer options than excellent consumer-grade desktops. One such option is the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V2, which has a compact 1U chassis and powerful specifications. Models start with four bays and cap out at a massive 10. It's a little pricey when moving into the realm of NVMe SSDs, but many businesses may view this as a worthwhile investment.
Lenovo Legion Go review: I want to love it, but I can't
The Lenovo Legion Go should be one of the best gaming handhelds, but it's just nowhere near it.
Gaming handhelds have been all the rage over the past year, with the Steam Deck leading the charge and companies like Ayaneo, Asus, and Lenovo all wanting a slice of the pie. We've put two gaming handhelds from Ayaneo through the ringer already, and for my money, the Ayaneo Kun is the best out there. The Asus ROG Ally is also good, but it has a few issues that prevent it from taking the top spot. Now that Lenovo is here with the Legion Go, how does it fare?
Lenovo Legion R45w-30 monitor review: Making me an ultrawide display fan
Lenovo's Legion R45w-30 monitor is an excellent ultrawide monitor with tons of features that'll help you feel the action while playing games
There's nothing wrong with a traditional flat-panel gaming monitor, but if you're a serious gamer with a ton of desk space, then you know that picking up an excellent ultrawide monitor is the way to go. Ultrawide monitors can help you see more of your in-game action and help you feel like you're in the game. They're also good for productivity since you can fit more things on your screen at once. So, the best ultrawide monitor is one that ticks both of those boxes.
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i (2023) review: An affordable everyday convertible
Lenovo's latest budget convertible comes with solid performance and battery life wrapped in a design that features some premium elements.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i is one of the company's latest endeavors in making an affordable convertible laptop, and it checks all the boxes you'd expect. The 13th-generation Intel processors are fast and efficient in delivering great battery life, and the screen is decent, if not overly impressive. It also has a nice design, with an aluminum top shell that makes it feel more premium than it actually is.
Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga (2023) review: A performance update with few other changes
Lenovo updated the fourth-gen ThinkPad L13 Yoga with new processors and RAM, but the rest remains mostly the same.
Lenovo's L-series of ThinkPads include clamshell and convertible models designed to suit professionals on the move. They aren't as expensive as many of the best ThinkPads, with the L13 Yoga (Gen 4) I'm reviewing here sitting at a price between $1,200 and $1,600. The lower cost means you miss out on some of the advanced features compared to more expensive ThinkPads, but you still get proven durability, class-leading keyboard, plenty of security, and snappy performance with competitive battery life.
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15 (2023) review: A value-packed laptop
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 15 isn't the most sophisticated laptop, but it does pack a lot of value for $330.
The best laptops you can buy are often the most expensive. Usually priced at over $1,000, you get bang for your buck with fancy features like a high-resolution display, a large trackpad, touch screen or pen support, and so much more. But none of that matters if you're on a budget and need a cheap laptop. You probably just want something to browse the web or complete office work on, and that's it. Well, look no further than the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15 (2023).
Lenovo LOQ Tower 17 review: A cheap gaming desktop that's just good enough
The Lenovo LOQ Tower is a relatively affordable gaming PC, and it does the job well. It's not the best in terms of value, though.
Lenovo makes some of the best gaming laptops on the market, but translating what works to a great desktop PC can sometimes be difficult. The Lenovo LOQ Tower 17 is a budget-oriented offering, and for the most part, it's pretty good. It doesn't offer mind-blowing performance, but it can handle modern gaming tasks just fine, even with the low-end configuration I have for review.
Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16 (2023) review: A thinner Legion Pro alternative that doesn't sacrifice power
The Legion Slim 5 16 (Gen 8) is a great bridge between portability and a powerful gaming laptop.
Lenovo's Legion series of gaming laptops offers some of the best gaming PC hardware available on the market today. The Legion 9i we recently reviewed currently sits at the top of our picks for the overall best gaming laptop, but it's certainly not the only Legion laptop worth your attention.
Lenovo Yoga AIO 9i review: A stunningly beautiful PC that puts the iMac to shame
The Lenovo Yoga AIO 9i is one of the most beautiful PCs I've ever used, and it makes the iMac look embarrassing.
When most people think of a really great all-in-one computer (AIO), the iMac is what comes to their mind first, but as I argued the same week that Apple launched new M3 iMacs, you can't forget what Windows PCs can offer, either. Whether it's something for working from home, or even for gaming, or just basic multimedia experiences watching YouTube, Windows AIOs can really excel for your needs just as well as an iMac can, even though they might not always be so powerful.
Lenovo ThinkPad E14 (2023) review: Big generational changes make this a top budget business PC
New displays, more ports, and super performance make this a better value than ever
The budget-minded ThinkPad E14 is nothing new for the ThinkPad family, and it's been a popular choice for those who need the ThinkPad's trademark durability, security, and keyboard without spending thousands. Lenovo makes plenty of high-end ThinkPads and other great laptops — like those from the X1 series — so it only makes sense that there are some quality options at the other end of the spectrum.
Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14 (2023) review: The 14-inch gaming laptop to beat
A balance of price, features, and performance in a thin and light laptop.
Lenovo has been on an absolute tear lately with its Legion gaming lineup, and its 8th-gen models for 2023 have a wide selection of hardware to suit many different needs. There's the top-tier Lenovo Legion 9i we recently reviewed, which Senior Editor João Carrasqueira called "the best gaming laptop on the market right now," for those with deep pockets. Then there's the Legion Pro lineup for a mix of outright power and functionality, with a wide range of available hardware and displays at varying price points.
Lenovo LOQ 15 review: Cost cutting done well
A budget gaming laptop with fewer compromises than I had thought.
Lenovo is pushing into the entry-level gaming market with some aggressively priced PCs as a part of its LOQ brand. Most manufacturers use their fresh lineups as an opportunity to reinvent the wheel and deliver something new and unique. Lenovo hasn't gone that far, though. It's instead selling laptops and desktop towers that look and feel very similar to the existing ones in its Legion lineup. As a result, you get solid gaming laptops that not only have a premium design but also some solid specs for the money.
Lenovo Legion Y25-30 review: A solid 1080p monitor jampacked with gaming features
The Lenovo Legion Y25-30 is a solid monitor for under $350. It's packed with plenty of features that'll make gaming in 1080p amazing.
There are all kinds of great monitors you can buy these days, but if you don't want things to get too extravagant, a 1080p resolution display will do the trick just fine for a decent price. Most 1080p monitors are pretty basic, though, but the Lenovo Legion Y25-30 monitor isn't.
