Quote from santy83 :
I don't need the advise as I am typing on the prior gen of this exact same laptop and 5-6 hours is consistent with my "real world usage" and not 1 or 2 random tests done by reviewers.
You need the advice as you're comparing last gen with certain different components to this gen.
Also, not just 1 or 2 reviews but there are several reviews of this exact gen, each stating battery life to be one of its highlights.
Even notebookcheck, which isn't a "random" review platform, tested the 57Whr of this which lasted around 13 hours and stated that the 42Whr model would last around 8-10 hours easily: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Len...866.0.html

I have linked the official page from Lenovo of this particular model in the comments above that you can easily find and read.
The other manual (the one you're referring to) is a general manual stating all available options of this series but NOT this particular model.​

If its in fact 1366 x 768, never, i repeat never ever buy a laptop with that resolution. We are in 2024 and 1920x1080 should be the minimum resolution sold for all laptops

If I wasn't sure of this being FHD I wouldn't have posted it in the first place.
Yes, 768p is criminal.

eBay app says this is the exact same I ordered a couple weeks ago.

I just looked at it and it shows 1080 resolution (recommended in display settings) and it's touch.

Vantage shows 1yr warranty starting the day I placed the order so that may mean Lenovo factory refurbished.

The only complaint until now is that it came with a pretty old version of OS and drivers, WiFi wasn't working and had to plug Ethernet to get Internet working after a bunch of drivers and windows updates.

It came with windows 11 Pro

Is it possible that these are off lease from a business with batteries that will not last much longer?

That's my main worry on these refurbs.

I don't know why you guys are making a simple thing rocket science.
Lenovo's official website and their listing at Newegg for this particular model 21C6X01200 clearly mention this being FHD IPS Touch. eBay listings can be wrong and have been in the past as well, but the official website's listing is hardly wrong, if ever:
https://www.lenovo.com/us/outletus/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadl/thinkpad-l14-gen-3-(14-inch-amd)/... [lenovo.com]
https://www.newegg.com/p/1TS-000E-1ANV0
Then the specs tab on that Newegg listing says Touchscreen: No, and Refresh Rate: Hz.

I would not do that if I was you. For just $50, you get Premium business product line (EliteBook), double RAM 32Gb (vs. 16Gb), and Windows Pro (vs. Home)

I bought one. It is indeed touch and FHD. Uses a smaller SSD (not 2280). Tried to upgrade RAM with sticks from older laptops but would only take my 4GB stick and not my 16GB.

Going to return it because it has a coil whine problem. It makes sounds similar to a hdd seeking whenever it's plugged in. I say that because it's most apparent whenever there's disk access but it even makes the sound when off and the charger is plugged in

Edit: Windows didn't want to reset normally, so I had to use a bootable usb. The noise is still there and now even when the laptop is off
