3 reasons to BUY the Lenovo ThinkPad L390

1. The keyboard

As almost every ThinkPad device the keyboard of this one doesn’t disappoint. It has long key travel, clicky feedback, and a backlight too.

2. The I/O

The ports selection is good. On the left side, we have two USB Type-C 3.1 (Gen. 1), a USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1), and an HDMI 1.4 connector. On the right side – a Mini RJ-45, a USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) port, an audio jack, a MicroSD card slot, and a strangely-placed power button.

3. The display part 1

The IPS panel (LG LP133WF2-SPL8) has comfortable viewing angles and it flickers at a very high frequency so the display is safe enough for long hours of work.

2 reasons not to BUY the Lenovo ThinkPad L390

1. The display part 2

Unfortunately, the display has a bad side too – low sRGB coverage (53%), mediocre contrast ratio, and not-so-good average dE values.

2. Hot under load

The other drawback is related to comfort during heavy load – when stressed the laptop gets hot. During testing, it reached 56°C which isn’t a good result.
