日本Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 4 (Intel) review – sturdy business notebook that offers good comfort under load
The Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 4 (Intel) is a device that will not try to impress you with its design because it’s a typical business laptop that is meant for work. Expectedly, the security is on point – a fingerprint reader, Intel vPro CPUs, a Web camera with a privacy shutter, a Security Lock Slot, and a dTPM module (the first two extras are optional). Some models are certified as a Microsoft 11 Secured-core PC so they offer an extra layer of protection against advanced malware.
Good connectivity is a must for such a machine and that’s why this notebook has (optional) 4G connectivity, NFC, and Wi-Fi 6E. We are also happy to see a Thunderbolt 4 port and a microSD card reader. The hardware seems standard for a 2023 office machine. You can choose among nine CPU options including Raptor Lake U and P-series chips. At least on paper, we don’t have any complaints in terms of power. For those who need additional graphics capabilities, there is one optional dGPU so you can even play some Dota 2 in the lunch break.
Two display variants are available, both are 1080p IPS panels but the optional one is a touchscreen unit. Interestingly, the manufacturer provides three battery models with different capacities. If battery life is the thing that matters the most to you, maybe you should get the biggest variant.

What’s in the box?
The packaging is business as usual – some paperwork, and a 65W USB Type-C charger. You can also find a 45W or even a 100W adapter in the box depending on the CPU and GPU under the bonnet.
