Lenovo ThinkPad L390 (13") Laptop Specs:

Processor
8th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-8265U (1.60GHz, up to 3.90GHz with Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache)

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64

Display Type
13.3" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, anti-glare, touchscreen

Memory
8GB DDR4 2400MHz

Hard Drive
128GB SSD PCIe

Graphics
Integrated Intel® UHD Graphics 620

Battery
3 cell Li-Ion 45Wh

Camera
720p HD

Fingerprint Reader
YES

Wireless
Intel® Dual Band 9560 AC (2 x 2) & Bluetooth® 5.0 with vPro

It weighs ONLY 3.22 lbs (1.46 kg). Not bad as it looks very light and portable for a sturdy business laptop.

Lenovo claims that the battery should last for 14 hours with 45Wh and Rapid Charge technology. But, definitely should take care of the work day is what I found online.

And, two Type-C ports with DisplayPort and Charging on both the ports - never seen on a laptop at this price range.

2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1** (one Always On)
2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1** Type-C (Power Delivery, DisplayPort, Data transfer)


Terrific deal, IMHO!

Youtube review for updating RAM + SSD. Looks very easy to swap it.

RAM can be upgraded to 32 GB and SSD upto 512 GB.

And, two type-C ports, which I have not seen in the $500 range laptops.

2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1** (one Always On)
2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1** Type-C (Power Delivery, DisplayPort, Data transfer)
Headphone/mic combo
HDMI 1.4
4-in-1 Micro SD card reader (SD, MMC, SDHC, SDXC)
Mini RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (Full-sized adapter sold separately)
Be very wary of Lenovo direct and these deals.

Recently bought an X270 on a similar deal, they advertised one item, delivered another and couldn't care less when contacted that they did a classic bait and switch. Pictures and description clearly showed features that were not included. Only one spec option & price to choose from so no confusion there.

Eventually, after escalating, they offered a further 10% discount or a free return - You should also check Lenovo-related forums about how long they can take to refund before you rely on that!

In this day and age, a big company like Lenovo is not going to simply do a bait and switch as they are NOT an ebay reseller. Maybe, a honest mistake by one of their package handlers as these things happen in any business.

Even if they do some mischief, do you really think that we can't go after them? We can dispute the charge, take it to BBB, etc. It's not as simple as you claim to be but these mistakes, like I said, do happen for time to time. They will eventually correct it.

FWIW, the order email that I received clearly says the part and describes the config in detail as shown below:

That bezel is humongous by todays standards. I have a T470 for work but the paint on the lid on the edges and corners are all gone. I wonder how much inferior these are compares to the X and T series. Good spec for the money though.

I would tend to agree that dealing with vendors like BB and Amazon are the way to go with electronics nowadays as the MFG doesn't have the same level of customer service or the ability to walk into a store if something should go wrong. Dealing with Western Digital and Razer right now and its horrendous.

ThinkPads are all around a great product, and I would buy this laptop if I were in the market for a 13in laptop.

Good deal. L390 Yoga would be hot, but this is still a good price for a solid, upgradeable machine.

Where ThinkPads lack in aesthetics, they make up for in build quality and cooling performance.

The general specs says it has an optional backlight keyboard but not sure about the model that is for sale. I believe it's not there. Even if it does have a backight keyboard, I usually turn it off in the BIOS as it's useless to me as I am NOT typing in the dark. Wink
