I have the same laptop. Keyboard squeaks, USB-C port doesn't hold the adapter in place - falls out all the time. Battery life is appalling for a 2022 model laptop. It runs hot all the time, like burn my legs hot - I cannot work with it on my lap. That's probably related to the OS (Windows 11 'Pro'). Feels cheap and plasticky for the amount it cost. Thank goodness it's supplied by work and I didn't buy it. Not my first experience with Lenovo, but not great. Edit: The trackpad is quite literally the worst I've every used - at times it's completely unresponsive.

interesting. i'll agree on battery life, mine is mostly on AC power (used as workstation) and i never bothered with https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop_Mode_Tools https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop_Mode_Tools but i hear it makes a huge difference, the 4k display on this doesn't help. my keyboard is okay (they're easy and cheap to swap, maybe try another one), but i do hear some subtle electrical noise from the mainboard when it's "doing stuff". i don't use the trackpad at all and generally hate all trackpads for any prolonged use -- a compact bluetooth mouse is the way to go (i use Logitech MX Anywhere). i don't use the use USB ports much except a USB-C for an external NVME, no issues with it or the others when i've had to use them. i opted for the integrated card reader. unfortunately only micro-sd is available and the latching spring is too stiff and too deep (so the card sits flush) and is basically impossible to insert or remove without a paperclip or credit card to push it into place. but this 4k calibrated display is amazing compared to what thinkpads always came with, even their 1440p matte IPS options were garbage.

  Mine came with the 1440p matte IPS, which I can concur is utter garbage! Previously, I had an x280. The USB-C, battery and touchpad all had issues, but it was a considerably better machine. "Business" laptops seem to be a crap-shoot to me.
