- The screen is nice and everything appears vibrant and clear as you'd expect. There's a built in color tool application you can use to select a color profile (I just use P3)
- Performance is good and has never given me issues, even when compiling lots of code at once. Since it's a work machine I don't game on it, but I understand the 780m is pretty capable for light gaming.
- Form factor is nice and portable, even in the larger size I have. Easy to carry around.
- Battery life is so-so. The OLED screen is a power hog. I get probably 5-6 hours on battery with mild to moderate use, not sure how that translates to this smaller size and battery.
- Keyboard is great as you'd expect.
- Trackpad is as good as you'll get from plastic. Glass is still nicer, but it's not like this one gives me problems. It also has a TrackPoint for fans of it.
- The fans are a bit undersized, so they get noisy under heavy loads. I don't tend to hear them much under mild to moderate loads, but plugged in on performance mode and pushing it, you'll definitely hear them.
- The chassis is decent, though I have some creaking on the left side. It's not severe and mostly noticeable when lifting or moving it, but it's there.
- Driver & BIOS updates from Lenovo are always timely
Overall, good machine if it fits your needs.
As far as the deal, it's a great laptop with good specs. Everyone saying "16GB is too little these days", well here's your laptop with an excellent 2.8K OLED display, every port you need, and tons of RAM (slotted, even! Not soldered!).

I can get 6-7 hours of battery life if I really crank down the brightness on the OLED. Though honestly, I think I'd be just as happy with the IPS screen that uses much less power some of my coworkers have with the same processor but 32GB of RAM. They get 8-10 hours of battery life without fiddling much with screen brightness.

If you don't care about portability you can always get a gaming laptop for better specs.
That being said, I have the X1 carbon 11th Gen with the same OLED screen , Intel 1365U and 32Gb and the 57 W/Hr battery which is larger than this laptop and it lasts ~4.5 hrs. Really suprising that this Ryzen laptop can get 6-8 hrs with the same Oled screen which are notoriously power hungry.
