I type all day on this
Coming from a Mac, the keyboard alone sold me. Light enough to forget in a bag, and the ports mean no dongles. Worth every cent for work.

Pro through and through
Durable, light, all-day battery, and the OLED is a nice touch. Speakers are just OK and it is not cheap, but for business it is the one.

From the community
QHow durable is it really?
It passes MIL-STD-810H testing for shock, temperature, and pressure, and the carbon-fiber lid resists flex while keeping weight low.
QIs the OLED bad for battery?
It uses a bit more power than the IPS option but Lenovo's tuning keeps all-day battery comfortable for office work.
Frequently asked
Is it good for enterprise deployment?
Yes — vPro, dTPM, self-healing BIOS, and broad management tooling make it a fleet favorite for IT departments.
Does it really have a great keyboard?
It is widely considered the best laptop keyboard available, with deep travel and the signature TrackPoint for precise control.
Can I get cellular connectivity?
Yes — optional 4G/5G WWAN is available on supported configurations for always-connected work.
