Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 3 review – can it beat the competition?
Source: Laptop Media
So, what is the purpose of the ThinkPad L15 Gen 3? Well, it is a business notebook from the small-to-medium segment of the market. It has an okay battery life, that may last you an entire workday if you are extremely lazy. In addition to that, it comes with a slightly uncomfortable touchpad, which is not only a bit small but also not very responsive. On the other hand, the keyboard is amazing with its comfortable typing experience, backlight, and spill resistance – the icon of the clumsy community worldwide. Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 3’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. Its backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, while the color coverage is quite limited (54% of sRGB). What we feel is really important to mention is the lack of TN display options. Finally! There are other high points with this machine. For example, the upgrade options are great, as you get two SODIMM slots for up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM in total. It also works in dual-channel mode. Well, the storage comprises only one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which works with Gen 4 SSDs, but only fits 42mm drives. And on top of that, it is hidden underneath some plastic tape. Generally, the I/O is one of the strong points. It features a LAN port, a Thunderbolt 4 connector, a SIM card tray (with optional 4G support), a MicroSD card slot, and more. It even gets another USB Type-C, which can be used for charging, so you don’t use up your single Thunderbolt 4 connector. Perhaps, the IR face recognition scanner, and the fingerprint reader will be compelling enough for you, but we strongly advise you to check out the Fujitsu LifeBook U7512, which has the option for 5G support, a better display, and a battery that will comfortably last you through an entire day worth of work.
