Superb Specs and Keyboard but a Terrible Display

Speed, port selection, build quality and, man, that keyboard. They're all phenomenal in this ThinkPad, but I simply couldn't get past the screen. This variant comes with a TN display, which is what I would expect to see on a laptop from 10-20 years ago, not something in 2022. I had forgotten how difficult it could be to look at a screen like that (if you don't look at it from just the right angle, you lose clarity, contrast, etc.).
I know Lenovo has to cut corners somewhere to get these superb specs in a laptop that costs as little as this one does, but the screen is downright disappointing. If you're planning on hooking this up to an external monitor and only using the built-in display every now and then, you'll probably really enjoy this machine; otherwise, opt for another ThinkPad that features an IPS display. I ultimately returned it for a different laptop specifically because I couldn't justify keeping it with the display.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
