I LOVE this laptop. I bought it as a photographer and need to run Photoshop and Lightroom for work, plus be able to check emails in outlook and have a million tabs open in chrome.
It came with 4TB SSD storage and has an empty slot where I can add at least 4TB more. Major plus for hundreds of thousands of photos.
It runs alll of the very ram heavy apps I use without issue, and I can work on PS & Lightroom while I'm casually browsing the web for 3 hours on battery (working off my hotspot wifi if that matters). Plugged in and using my external, it has no problem streaming shows while I edit on the external.
Graphics and colors look great, and while I wish it was a slightly bigger screen, I'm not really likely to be doing serious work detached from my external monitor. (the screen is not terribly small, I'm just spoiled with my widescreen editing monitor)
I also love the RGB lit keyboard and full number pad - I do wish it had a display port connection for my editing monitor, but I was able to connect display port to USB-c (Make sure to get a high quality 8k cable if you go this route). It has HDMI as well, but Display Port is superior.
I did need to modify some of the sleep/wake settings because it was a little glitchy, but all seems well since adjusting. Noting that it's my second one - the first one arrived to me with issues and lenovo recommended exchanging for a new one.
Overall very snappy and perfect for what I needed and definitely recommend for creators/photographers
