Once again, the Lenovo V15 greets us with mixed feelings. It comes with a decent performance package in the form of Intel’s Alder Lake U-series processors. The cooling is quite capable, even though it prefers to keep it quiet, rather than give the full performance it has on the table. Although, we are really happy with the short-load clock speeds the Core i7-1255U posted. Nevertheless, there are a couple of things we would like to address. First – the construction. Its plastic body is prone to flex, especially in the bottom half of the base, which has zero support. The part beneath the keyboard has a metal structure, which prevents the chassis from twisting. Furthermore, the speakers don’t sound very good, and there is no SD card reader to be found. Lenovo V15 Gen 3’s TN panel has a Full HD resolution, quick pixel response times, and a non-flickering backlight. On the other hand, its viewing angles are very narrow, the contrast ratio is super low, and the color coverage sits at a mere 50% of the sRGB color gamut. You should avoid this display option at any cost. Even if that means downgrading to a lower-tier processor, you should pick the IPS option instead. On the bright side, the keyboard and the touchpad feel pretty comfortable. Well, with the exception of the nonuniform feedback of the keys, and the small size of the touchpad. And while we mentioned the lack of an SD card reader, the I/O is pretty fine, with the USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 1) port supporting both Power Delivery and DisplayPort outputs. This machine is sold with two battery options. A smaller 38Wh package, and a 45Wh one. Our configuration was equipped with a smaller battery, and it lasted for 8 hours of Web browsing, or 6 hours of video playback on a single charge. This is pretty fine, considering the small capacity of the battery. At the end of the day, our opinion of the V15 series hasn’t changed. The only positive, compared to last year, we see is the introduction of a fully-fledged USB Type-C port.

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.
