Lenovo ThinkPad L590 review – might be just the right pick for the corporate users
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
Lenovo ThinkPad L590 is probably one of the greatest options for corporate users. It combines both reasonable pricing, relatively good performance, and most importantly – versatility. It has all of the needed security features like a fingerprint reader, face IR recognition. Sadly, the ThinkPad L590 doesn’t feature some of the premium Carbon fiber or magnesium materials of this device. Additionally, we noticed some annoying wobble in the middle of the base, which takes from the overall good experience from the keyboard and the touchpad. Another positive feature of the ThinkPad L590 is its battery life. Despite the battery pack is only 45Wh, which is usually insufficient for a 15-incher, we were able to extract more than 11 hours of Web browsing and just under 9 hours of video playback. Then, there comes the lack of Thunderbolt connectivity and the frustrating M.2 slot adapter.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
