Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad 25

89.2% Lenovo ThinkPad 25 Anniversary Edition Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
Retro rewind. What's old is new again in this special anniversary ThinkPad that throws out the AccuType keyboard in favor of the classic layout and design. Outside of the new keyboard, there isn't anything particularly new about the ThinkPad 25 that we haven't already covered on the ThinkPad T470.
Lenovo ThinkPad 25 Anniversary Edition Review: Retro Style, Modern Performance
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
Some will certainly complain about the price; at $1,899 it's not a bargain machine. On the other hand, the ThinkPad 25 AE is meant to be a durable workhorse more than a gaming or multimedia machine, but it can handle a bit of both those tasks with enough gusto for most mainstream users. However, as workhorse laptops go, the ThinkPad 25 Anniversary Edition certainly lives up to IBM and Lenovo's legacy.

85% Lenovo ThinkPad 25 review: Sweet nostalgic design with modern specs
Source: Neowin English Archive.org version
I found Lenovo's ThinkPad 25 to be a thoroughly enjoyable machine, but the bottom line is that if you're considering buying it, get it for the unique features that it offers, or nostalgia. If you're buying it for the specs, ports, Windows Hello, durability, and other great but not unique features, there are better alternatives, like the ThinkPad X1 Yoga.

The satisfaction a user will feel with this notebook relies at least partially on their connection to the original. The ThinkPad is one of the most memorable brand names in notebook computers, and Lenovo knows it. They’re not about to let consumers forget it.

Lenovo ThinkPad 25 Anniversary Edition Review: The Best ThinkPad ever, and ready for the Fall Creators Update
Source: On MSFT English Archive.org version
At the end of the day, the ThinkPad 25 is one of the best ThinkPads ever. Though a bit pricey, it lives up to the hype and is a great option for those who want a nostalgic looking device. It also packs surprising specs, a familiar design and build, a mass selection of ports, and has a decent touchscreen display. There’s the added plus of throwback features like a classic keyboard, and also modern touches like Windows Hello and a Precision TouchPad. Battery life is great, and the laptop will last a user all day long. Originally on sale for $1899, supplies of the ThinkPad 25 are very limited, but you can sign up at Lenovo to learn when it is available by clicking here.

Lenovo ThinkPad 25 Limited Edition Laptop: Is It Worth It?
Source: Business News Daily English Archive.org version
The Lenovo ThinkPad 25 Anniversary Edition has the robust security features (including a fingerprint scanner and infrared camera for facial recognition) and the internal specs for heavy-duty business use, but its target demo is clearly die-hard fans of the ThinkPad line who want a special limited-edition laptop. It's not that the ThinkPad 25 is a poor machine – quite the opposite – but most business users value the ability to select from multiple laptop configurations, to avoid overpaying for features that aren't necessary.

Although we wish that Lenovo had gone a little further down memory lane by adding a ThinkLight, and given users the option of a non-touch screen model, this special edition laptop is a great choice for ThinkPad fans or anyone who needs to get serious work done.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


i7-7500U: Kaby-Lake based SoC with two CPU cores clocked at 2.7 to 3.5 GHz, HyperThreading and manufactured with an improved 14nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


82.37%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
