Good laptop, but with a few small drawbacks: - No vapor chamber cooling, just regular heat pipes - Monitor has thick borders - Not 16:10 - Fn/Ctrl are swapped (all thinkpad laptops) - Thinkpad's fingerprint readers never worked reliably to me - I personally prefer USB-C network adapter instead of the bulky RJ45 - 720p camera, but most of laptops have a bad web cam... - I assume it will have very average speakers. Usually Lenovo puts a "DOLBY SOUND" label on laptops with improved sound quality.

Fn/Ctrl can be swapped in BIOS

  Yes, I do this with all work issued laptops.

    But if someone need to type on your keyboard, then they will have problems and this workaround only works with Laptops. You cannot swap keys on a standalone Lenovo keyboard.

      Ah, I don't think I've ever used a standalone Lenovo keyboard. At least that could be swapped out. Yes the laptop keyboard swap is a little confusing for the first 10 seconds until you explain.

      Stickers is what I ordered and put on all those keyboards. Why lenovo, why?

      Actually you can swap fn/ctrl keys on the trackpoint 1 USB keyboard. I wrote it down here: https://github.com/lentinj/tp-compact-keyboard/issues/32#issuecomment-687659110 https://github.com/lentinj/tp-compact-keyboard/issues/32#iss...

Large bezels to easily adjust the screen position without touching it, and RJ45? Exactly like I like them. Sorry! %) Unfortunately, putting a good camera into a laptop is a challenge. With the screens / lids being so thin, nothing really good, like a phone camera, can fit in. And I also don't trust biometry auth anywhere. Biometry should be a login, not a password, because you can't revoke or replace it.

Wouldn't the dongle be even bulkier than a built in RJ45?
