ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 (Intel)
Processor and Performance
The Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 (Intel) is powered by 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake processors, including Core i3-1115G4 (dual-core, 4.1 GHz max), Core i5-1135G7 (quad-core, 4.2 GHz max), or Core i7-1165G7 (quad-core, 4.7 GHz max). It delivers strong single-core performance (Cinebench R20: ~600 for i7) and decent multi-core performance (Cinebench R20: ~906–971 for i7), suitable for office tasks, light video editing, and multitasking. Users praise its CPU performance but note the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U variant offers better multi-core results (~1069). Ideal for business users needing reliable performance.
Graphics and Display
The laptop features a 15.6" IPS display with 1920x1080 resolution (250–300 nits, ~65% sRGB). Graphics options include Intel UHD Graphics (i3), Iris Xe G7 (80EU/96EU for i5/i7), or dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (2GB GDDR5, ~25W). The MX450 handles light gaming (~40–60 FPS in *Valorant* High) and boosts creative tasks. Users appreciate the display’s clarity for office work but note color accuracy is modest for design work. Optional touchscreens and privacy shutters enhance versatility.
Design and Connectivity
Weighing ~1.7 kg with an aluminum top, the E15 Gen 2 is MIL-STD-810H tested for durability. It includes 1x USB-C (Thunderbolt 4), 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB 2.0, HDMI 1.4b, RJ45, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Wi-Fi 6 (AX201/AX200) and Bluetooth 5.1 ensure fast connectivity (receive: ~1335 Mbps). The 45Wh battery lasts ~6–7 hours (web browsing/video playback). Users note the outdated USB 2.0 port and warm chassis under load (~60°C bottom). Ideal for portable business use.
