Pros & Known Issues

Pros

• Ultra-light and rigid ThinkPad build quality

• Excellent keyboard and port selection

• Strong speakers and microphone array (notable improvement over prior gens)

• Ideal for business use: Tile-ready, TPM, modern connectivity

• Intel Evo platform for responsiveness and fast wake

Known Drawbacks (User Reports)

• Thermals: High CPU temps under load; chassis can get very hot, with occasional reports of fan noise or thermal shutdowns unless throttled or BIOS‑updated

• Battery Efficiency: Real‑world battery life is modest compared to ARM‑based ultrabooks; heavier usage and high brightness shorten runtime

• TrackPoint drift or instability reported by some users
