Model: The Lenovo ThinkPad L450-20DT0001GE is an all-round business class laptop with a solid build quality. Design follows the classic ThinkPad series with clean edges and a scratch resistant matte finish in black. The hinges installed are durable and hold the display in position well. The competitively priced Lenovo ThinkPad L450-20DT0001GE is ultra-light and has been tested against military specifications. The full-size, spill-resistant keyboard delivers an excellent typing experience and the touchpad is comfortable. The Lenovo ThinkPad L450-20DT0001GE's anti-glare 14 inch display with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) is bright and sharp.

The audio quality is also impressive with the stereo speakers tuned by Dolby Home Theater. Users can select from Windows 7 to Windows 10 depending on their business needs. On-board are an Intel Core i5-5200U processor, up to 16 GB of RAM and an Intel HD 5500 GPU. Storage comes in the form of a 500 GB HDD or up to a 256 GB SSD if faster transfer rates are required. Other features on the Lenovo ThinkPad L450-20DT0001GE are three USB 3.0 ports, a card reader, a mini DisplayPort, a VGA port and a 720p webcam. The battery rated at 48 Wh makes for a battery life of up to 7 hours.

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.

73%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
