Plus, the laptop’s thin bezels, carried over from the Gen 3, give you the maximum amount of screen real estate (without a quirky notch). The chassis surrounding the keyboard and trackpad has a soft rubberized coating that’s pleasant to the touch. Of course, it also boasts the iconic “ThinkPad X1” logo on the lid and just the basic “ThinkPad” logo on the right side of the interior palm rest area. The ThinkPad Gen 4 model I tested sports a solid matte-black design all around, though other configurations offer the black weave design on the lid. This is a win for anyone who was a fan of the previous generation’s dimensions. Kevin BonnettĪlthough the Lenovo aesthetic isn’t the flashiest, you’ll soon forget about that, as this laptop does a tremendous job of packing a bigger screen and lots of impressive components into what’s pretty much the same chassis as the Gen 3. And while the Gen 4 is incredibly powerful and reliable, with its components set up exactly the way they need to be to work well, it’s very much still the iconic black rectangle Lenovo fans have come to either love or hate over the years. In the grand tradition of Lenovo’s ThinkPad line, the latest iteration focuses on function over form. If you’re wanting a laptop with a modern, lightweight design, this ain’t it.
