Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 review – brings performance to the table, but lacks in other areas
Source: Laptop Media
Of course, you get Wi-Fi 6 support, but the I/O is a bit puzzling. First of all, it is great to have a Thunderbolt 4 connector. However, as we just touched, you will need the power cord for continuous work. And this power cord – is in the form of a USB Type-C connector. Additionally, there are only two USB Type-A ports. One of which, works at 2.0 speeds, which is funny in 2021. To be honest, HP ProBook 450 G8 is far more superior than the ThinkPad E15 Gen 2, especially in terms of I/O. All of its three USB Type-A ports are 3.2 (Gen. 1), and it sports a MicroSD card reader, against no card readers for the Lenovo.
