The ultralight subnotebook has surprisingly long battery life and respectable performance considering the weight and small size, but cut features elsewhere are notable.

With HDR enabled, the latest ThinkPad workstation can reach brightness levels up to three or four times brighter than most other laptops in the market.

The latest model ships with a 140 W USB-C AC adapter instead of the 170 W adapter that shipped with last year's model. Fortunately, performance has not been negatively affected.
