The keyboard is very impressive, soundless, and slappy as well. You will not see a single fault in the manufacturing of the keyboard as it comes up with dedicated keys also. Because of these keys, you will enjoy more convenient controls.

There is a buttonless trackpad present under the keyboard. If you are such a user that doesn’t like a button-free touchpad then he can use the TrackPoint cursor which is present on the keyboard.

Comprehensive Review Of ThinkPad L Series Laptop (L450)

The Lenovo ThinkPad L450 comes up with standard build-up quality that has a very robust and bulky design accompanied by a strong performance as well. The price range varies if you go for a ThinkPad L Series Laptop with high-end components but in Lenovo’s business laptops lineup it is considered as one of the best and pocket-friendly machines for the consumers.

Design & Build

If you are thinking that you will get a convertible or a compact laptop then your perception might be wrong. ThinkPad is a series that is designed to provide customers with the best quality spartan laptops.

The materials that are used in the build-up of this machine are plastic and glass fiber. The rectangular black case is made from matte style plastic and the chassis of the machine has a manufacturing approach of glass-fiber for being more durable.

Specs & Performance

The basic configuration of this laptop is that it contains Intel CPU and Intel GPU as well. With a fast and high-end SSD drive, you can get a very amazing and impressive performance rate as well. At such an affordable price tag this machine is not less than a working horse and is really a tough competitor for the same price range.

You can get two battery variants for your Lenovo ThinkPad L450. One is a 6 cell battery but it does not fit perfectly and makes a bump in the case and the other is the 3 cell battery. This battery fits the case but as a result the battery life of the laptop also remains half.

The webcam quality of the ThinkPad L Series Laptop (L450) is average and not up to the mark. With a resolution of 720 pixels, you will only get a very soft focus and definitely, the color and the definition of the image will be mediocre as well.

Keyboard & Trackpad

In making the laptop a hot product keyboard plays an important role. The keyboard present in the Lenovo ThinkPad L450 is honestly one of the best keyboards among most affordable laptops. The keys are shallower but very soft as well.

The trackpad is another plus point of this machine at such a mid-range price. It is roomy, extensive, reliable, and accurate. You will get the most precise cursor moves on this wide trackpad.

Screen & Speakers

As we have already discussed, there is no touchscreen in this laptop and the screen size is 14 inches. The FHD IPS technology display of this machine is not so good as compared to the other rivals of the same price.

Like many other ThinkPads, you will get dual stereo speakers in this device as well. The speaker is present at the bottom of the device and is capable of producing a fairly louder voice that is sufficient for a smaller room.

Comprehensive Review Of Lenovo ThinkPad L480

If you can adjust some of the features then Lenovo ThinkPad L480 is among such ThinkPad L Series Laptops that will not make any painful blow to your pocket. As it comes up with a core i5 Intel processor, you can enjoy impressive performance rates with this machine. But the downsides are the bad quality speakers and not good display quality of this machine.

Design & Build

Just like the other ThinkPads, you will get the same primitive but functional design that exhibits all in all black design made up from plastic. The device is not so compact means it is not as portable but even then you can get your job done.

The build-up quality and the materials are as same as are present in the predecessor models i.e glass fiber and plastic but the machine is durable to the next level.

Specs & Performance

This machine (Lenovo ThinkPad L480) has a core i5 Intel processor that is accompanied by 8 GB DDR4 RAM. Intel’s Graphics Processing Unit and a lightning-fast 256 Solid State Drive are present that ensure a perfect performance rate in this machine.

You can use this laptop to do your daily routine tasks and can perform other heavy jobs as well. This machine will serve you the best, breaking no sweat.

As compared to the other laptops in the same price range, ThinkPad battery backup is less than the other rivals. In our battery test, this ThinkPad L Series Laptop exhibited a battery backup of 7 hrs and 56 mins which is approximately equal to 8 hours.

However, it is a good battery backup but the other rivals of the same price have more decent battery life.

The 720p webcam of this Lenovo ThinkPad L480 is not good as it faded out all the colors when we took pictures. The focus of the webcam is very soft and it completely lacks details of the image. Our test cam shots clearly showed the inferior quality of the webcam in this machine.

Keyboard & Trackpad

The keyboard is excellently designed and is very impressive as well. It is completely spill-resistant, solid, and aesthetically beautiful as it is backlit. The distance of this appealing keyboard is 1.5 mm.

The trackpad of the machine is good but its response to the 2 finger commands is not so good. Sometimes it also refuses to capture the text that we wanted to copy. But for more precise cursor control, you can also use the TrackPoint cursor.

Screen & Speakers

The size of the screen is 14 inches and it is a non-touchscreen. The display is subpar and it can be improved in this model with increased color fidelity. With an FHD display that is accompanied by IPS display technology, you can visualize vibrant colors though.

In the Lenovo ThinkPad L480, the speakers are mounted at the bottom of the laptop but they do not have a loud voice even at 100 percent volume that you can use them in conference places or large rooms. At high volume levels, you may also observe some distortions.
