Excellent find and repped!
Sadly, not for me due to screen flicker (PWM) which is rarely used on the ThinPad line.
Here's an in-depth review of the Intel i5 version:

Although technically 2 generations old, these 5625U/5825U CPUs are still very good, they are based on Zen 3 architecture. The 7530U and 7730U processors are just rebrands of these processors.

If you have an Amex card, check your Amex Offers for $100 off $500 at Lenovo - that makes this really slick!

Quote from FAL :
Keep it if you use it seldom use, stick with 65 watt charging and you have a spare. I think Lenovo resolve some bandaid of it with bios reduce it 20-50% defective rate.

I reading that the early 95 watt usbc chargers were so bad lenovo did a massive recall on 90% of thinkpads. Dell business had similar issue with their usbc docks. Thanks to other SD members for pointing this out. Out-of-warranty repairs amount $300-500 since usbc is solder on MB.


Nearly all ThinkPads have defective USB-C ports: What to do now | Tom's Guide [tomsguide.com]


I never had barrel ports issues with 20 laptops the last 23 years from Lenovo, Dell, Sony Vaio, Toshiba, Acer, HP, Asus, Gateway, Apple. Charging port was never an issue until usbc pd. The extremely repair would cost $5 on most classic laptops vs $300 on usbc laptops.


when I use usbc charging it get super hot , always prefered the barrall charger. no way a power chip can handle power,data,audio for that long for 5-10 years. YMMV

My fav is Dell 7290, 7490, 7390, 7400, 7410 with Intel 8th or 10th starting at $200 for 16gb/512gb. You might something similar on Lenovo Outlet, Woot, HP outlet
Thanks for the reply!

I'll check out your recommendations. Appreciate it.

The USBC ports stop functioning, is that more hardware or software? If you Google it Lenovo looks to release a firmware that addresses the USBC issues like last year.

So these issues with USBC, are they physical hardware connection issues or software related? Lenovo makes it seem to update the new firmware and problem solved.

My Amex was charged for the filler, which was about $9, and the rest will be charged upon shipping of the laptop, which would be less than $500, so it voids Amex' offer?

Lenovo never really solved the issue. they used a cheap firmware/bios patch by limiting the voltage by 10-20% so usbc failure would fall outside of the1-3 yr warranty. Dell/Lenovo legacy rep for tank build quality is eroding. Classic Thinkpad used to last 10-20 yrs, the newer gen last 3-5 yrs. maybe 1-3 yrs with soldered ram/ssd.




Apples/MS solution was switching back or staying with separate magsafe. They were losing too much money having usbc short out with 65-95 watts

Received the laptop today. Unfortunately, the $499 Black one I bought DOES NOT have a backlit keyboard. Kind of disappointed by that, but otherwise a great laptop. Will let the primary user decide whether we keep it or return within Lenovo's 30 day free return window.
The $539 Intel version has a backlit keyboard.

Yes, I got it as well on the $499 + tax laptop. I did not order any extras to go above $500 since the taxes already put me above $500
