Product Overview

Lenovo ThinkPad L15 GEN2 i is an entry-level 15.6-inch business laptop powered by 11th-gen Intel Core processors. Like its predecessor, the GEN2 model adds a Thunderbolt 4 port, switches the optional graphics to an NVIDIA unit, and upgrades the memory to DDR4-3200MHz; otherwise, it inherits the chassis, display, and battery of the GEN1 model.
Despite its market positioning, the ThinkPad L15 GEN2 i still retains robust build quality, having been tested against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure their robustness. For enhanced security, the ThinkShield security solutions and the discrete Trust Platform Module (dTPM) encrypts your data.
Unlike many 2021 (GEN2) ThinkPad models, the L15 GEN2 does not offer WiFi 6E, staying with the WiFi 6 for now. Still, it can be configured with LTE WWAN like other ThinkPads.
Naturally, Lenovo also introduced AMD-powered L15 GEN2 as well as 14-inch L14 GEN2 / L14 GEN2 i for 2021.

Reviewers from notebookcheck have found the following***:
The ThinkPad L15 G2 can clearly be recommended to all those who are looking for a robust laptop for office tasks and who might want to upgrade it later. The Intel UHD Graphics Xe G4 48EUs integrated into the processor is responsible for the display of image content. You can achieve an improvement in the performance by using a second RAM module, allowing for dual-channel operation.
