Hi Bob. All I would like to know if this laptop with its graphic card is good enough to use Filmora video editing program? Nothing pro, just for home videos? Thanks

I got this laptop a little over a year ago for school work. I do some very light gaming and use photoshop as well, and it has handled everything wonderfully. I love the trackpad and mouse buttons and the keyboard is excellent, as you say. I got it on sale as well, so I'd say my money was well spent. I will probably get a Thinkpad for my next laptop as well.

For AutoCAD and design type of apps I’d go for a Workstation grade laptop that offers a dedicated GPU and decent power. These are heavier and usually give up battery life. FYI: We have a Lenovo P17 Gen 1 unboxing recorded and scheduled for release soon.

thanks for the well done explaining, do you recommend touchscreen or just a regular one for lifetime?

You should go for E14 Or 15 Gen3, it's got 57 wh battery. But Gen2 which video has got I think, 51 or 47 wh, don't clearly remember.

The processor is nice, and with the 8GB of RAM you do feel like the machine is speedy enough for most day to day office tasks (except if you are a graphic designer, gamer, or a CAD/Maya user, because if you are, stay away from this computer and its lack of a dedicated graphics card). However, it´s insane that, having such a large screen, the screen's PPI is so freaking low. Enough for office tasks, but it's UGLY. And for being a "productivity" machine, the fact that it only has two USB ports and no SD card reader is just not it. There are better machines out there that are more well rounded for a similar price. I just got this machine for work, and while I am grateful for the extra processing speed, I feel like I'm going to have to get used to the screen being so low quality :(

The motherboards have just one SO-DIMM slot, the plastic used for the chassis is of poor quality and breaks rather easily. I had both the first gen E15, and now I have gen2, both top specs with core i7 (issued to me at work) so... Not happy... The Gen2 tends to be rather noisy (coil whine).
