We estimate Windows 11 support will end in October 2031. However, this laptop may be compatible with a future version of Windows that gets support beyond this date Today, we ask the age-old question – how cheap is too cheap? There is a very thin line between cheap and affordable, and we’re going to see if the Lenovo V15 Gen 2 is going to provide the value it should.

This little something is called a specs sheet. You can get this laptop with up to the Ryzen 5 5700U, which is an 8-core CPU with multithreading, and a very fast integrated graphics card. It is really counterintuitive to find such a processor in a laptop that costs less than a set of tires for your car. While there is an IPS 1080p display option, we weren’t able to find one in our region, so we had to settle for a 1080p TN panel. If you have a choice, go for the IPS panel. Generally, using this laptop has been a pleasure. With the exception of the horrid TN display, everything about it begs you to go and buy it. If you are able to find an IPS-equipped model, you should definitely go for it. Lenovo V15 will keep your business productive and your data secure, while its thinner, smaller design and narrower side bezels put a clean, professional look on your desk - or wherever you choose to use it.The bottom panel houses two speaker cutouts, as well as a ventilation grill. You can see parts of the fan peaking through the vent. Hot air, respectively, is being exhausted from a slit in between the lid and the base. Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. On the bright side, the inside ports offer one SODIMM slot for memory expansion, an M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage, and a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay. AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Graphics push the Lenovo V15 Gen 2 (15" AMD) laptop through your to-do list. On top of that, up to 16GB memory and a hybrid combination of up to 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD and 2TB HDD storage allow for efficient multitasking, speedy data access, and plenty of storage.

One of the reasons for the good battery life is the efficiency. The AMD processors this laptop comes with are really lenient on the battery. At the same time, they are quite powerful. The fact that you can pair this notebook with an 8-core/16-thread CPU is simply mindblowing.Lenovo V15 Gen 2 doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. This makes it comfortable for long periods of work in this aspect. As expected from a TN panel – the viewing angles are terrible. We offer images at 45° to evaluate image quality. Unsurprisingly, the entire device is built out of plastic. It has a fabric-like texture pattern on both the lid and the base. Interestingly, they are both fairly resistant to flex, and significantly less bendy than the Vostro 15 3510, which we’ve tested recently. Traditionally, this series brings a huge amount of cost-cutting with itself. Through the years, we’ve seen plastic builds, slow hardware, and unattractive displays. However, there is something that tells us this year will be different.
