Product Overview
Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 with AMD is a 15.6-inch business laptop powered by AMD Ryzen 4000 U-series processors. Released with the E15 Gen 1 (powered by Intel), the E15 Gen 2 with AMD is the successor to the E595, despite the naming.
An entry-level model, the E15 Gen 2 with AMD is nevertheless tested against military-grade requirements for durability like all ThinkPad models. It offers most of the optional features found in the Intel-powered variant, though more storage space, memory, and FIDO (Fast Identity Online) authentication are supported as a tradeoff for the missing Thunderbolt 4 port.

Reviewer score 61% (normalized by Neofiliac)The ThinkPad E15 Gen.2 is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U processor. It is twice as fast as the E15 with a Core i7 CPU in the multi-core benchmarks. Under load, the bottom of the device becomes too hot to touch. The E15 is unfit for any sort of professional photo/video editing.
Pros
- Matte IPS panel
- Good input devices
- Good battery life
Cons
- Poor colour reproduction
- Mediocre speakers
