LenovoV15 Business Laptop • 32GB RAM • 1TB SSD • Intel 4-core Processor • 15.6" FHD • Ethernet Port • HDMI • Windows 11 Pro • Sleek Design • Effortless Elegance

It’s Lenovo! It struggles a little running Adobe Lightroom but that’s a monster bit of software and it does get it done.

I purchased this laptop from PC Outlets in late February, it was received in early March. In early August it stopped working, it would not power on. I took it to a repair shop , where I was told that it was a defective motherboard and I should contact Lenovo, since it was still within the 1 year warranty which comes standard with Lenovo laptops. However, upon contacting Lenovo, I was told this laptop was made in Nigeria and the warranty could not be honored in the US. My only solution in using the warranty would to ship this $400 laptop to Nigeria and I was told that I would be responsible for shipping costs. I reached out to PC Outlets who said " Sorry, you are past the 30 day return period" , and " we do not support or advertise warranties, we do not price in the cost of the warranty as well to provide the most competitive price." The expectation with a warranty included of the purchase is that a customer should be able to evoke the warranty if needed. If you buy this laptop or any other product from PC Outlets, you should investigate the origin of the product, do NOT expect this company to assist you when they sell you a defective product. It is clearly cheaper for a reason.

Sound quality is not the best. Keyboard is great. Color is fine its basic. It is super portable. It connects amazingly. Speed is fine as long as you arent gaming.

This is a review of: Lenovo V15 Business Laptop • 32GB RAM • 1TB SSD • Intel 4-core Processor • 15.6" FHD • Ethernet Port • HDMI • Windows 11 Pro • Sleek Design • Effortless EleganceSpeed: 3 StarsI’ve had this laptop for about a month now, and I have been using it almost daily, I am somewhat disappointed by this laptop. Since it has twice the RAM of my former laptop, I expected to see a significant increase in speed, but I haven’t. It works about the same as my laptop with 16 GB of RAM. It is pretty slow to download and upload. It is slower than my older laptop when it comes to downloads, so I know it’s the laptop, and not the internet connection. Also, the computer is pretty slow at transferring files. It took forever to get all my files off my external hard drive and onto the computer. Granted, it was over 10,000 files. But, there was no noticeable difference in speed from my old laptop, in spite of this one having better specs (More RAM, and, in theory, a faster processor). Disappointed that I didn’t see a marked increase in performance considering the upgrade in specifications.That being said, the laptop works fine for normal work functions. I can have several programs open at once without it slowing the laptop down. Searching the internet works fine. I don’t have any buffering issues when streaming media.Sound & Features: 4 StarsThe sound quality is pretty good. It’s not perfect- not a lot of bass, but only slightly tinny. The speakers get up fairly loud- my comfortable level of listening at close range is about halfway up the volume bar. So, you can get the sound across your living room if you are trying to show something to a crowd. The computer has two USB ports which both work well, plus a USB C end, so you can charge your phone directly from the computer.The power cord doesn’t plug in easily. You kind of have to wiggle and shove. Pretty sure that the charging port is what will break first. There is no place to plug in a micro SD card, or an adapter for one.The video quality is pretty good. No complaints there. The laptop is lightweight, and thin- it fits easily into a backpack. There is the additional, smaller number pad on the side, which is useful for some- kind of a waste of space for me. However, the keyboard is still spacious enough to type comfortably. I have to exert a little more pressure than I’d like to press the keys, such that long periods of typing do hurt my fingers.Brand new, out of the box, the battery is lasting for about 5-6 hours before needing a recharge. It takes probably 3-4 hours to charge back up, if you aren’t currently using it- a little longer if you are charging while using it.What I don’t like (buckle up, here comes the soap box):Setup: 1 StarSetup for this laptop was a pain in the booty. Plan on taking about an hour for setup. The computer has to restart several times. Also, you can’t set up the laptop without an internet connection. Maybe there is some workaround for the computer-savvy who can get into the inner workings of the computer, but for the layman, there is no option to “skip” and finish setting up your PC without the internet. No internet, not able to start the laptop for the first time.Microsoft getting in your business: 1 StarThe laptop also requires you to sign into a Microsoft account in order to set up the computer. You can’t even get to the desktop without signing in. There used to be an option to set up the laptop with a local account. That option has been removed. Again, maybe there’s some secret code for computer-whisperers, but the rest of us are stuck with the garbage options they give you. Even worse, once you sign into your Microsoft account the computer will, automatically, and without asking you, start backing up all your files to your OneDrive. I transferred my files to this laptop, and, the next day got the dreaded “you’re out of storage” for my Microsoft account. It had started backing up all my files, again, without my knowledge or consent, and completely filled up my One Drive. To add insult to injury, it automatically “syncs” your One Drive and your computer. So, when I started rage-deleting all the stuff it had uploaded to my One Drive, so I could send an email, IT DELETED THOSE FILES FROM MY LAPTOP. Again, there was no warning that you were deleting the file everywhere. Lucky for me, I still had copies of my files on an external hard drive.But, you should know that this laptop is thoroughly in Microsoft’s pocket. Create yourself a dummy MS account and set up the laptop with that account. As soon as you get into the laptop for the first time, unlink the PC from your Microsoft account. After that, you can go ahead and sign in with your regular account, if you want.Software: 2 StarsAs far as the software, this comes with Windows 11, just the basic. If you want any of the Office software, video players, or image editors, (besides paint) you have to pay for the subscription for those separately. This comes with a pre-installed version of Windows Defender, but you will probably also need to download your own virus software on it.As a side note, the search feature stinks. Trying to find one of your files? Good luck.Overall: 4 Stars for the laptop, 1 Star for MicrosoftMy overall impression is that this is a decent laptop for the price. It is not impressive, it will likely not last more than a couple of years, but it will function for basic stuff, and it comes at a relatively cheap price (currently priced at $399.00, in April of 2025). So, this laptop is worth it for students, household use, a small business, or as an alternate laptop. It is lacking in speed if you need it for serious gaming, video editing, or anything that requires more heavy-duty functionality.

Much faster than my old PC. I am no techie, but it was easy set up, and love it so far

Great product, honest sell of a used item.

I bought this to replace my work laptop.I use it for pictures and a library for parts & service manuals and electrical diagrams.I regret this purchase and will now spend the money to have my old laptop repaired.The picture quality is horrible even after playing with all.of the settings in an attempt to correct it.Scrolling through parts manuals as PDF files is is slow and clunkyMy previous laptop was much faster even being an older machine

Computer works fine for the basics (word, internet) however it can be slow if you have too many windows/tabs open at once. This laptop does not have the processor speed for video conferencing and will lag during video chats.
