Reviewers from notebookcheck have found the following***:
The ThinkBook 15 Gen2 starts up programs extremely quickly, and data access also occurs without any delays. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs used here is an internal graphics unit that is suited for low to medium demands on the graphics performance. Lenovo continues to develop the ThinkBook discretely, mainly using more modern hardware inside.
