The screen has a good visual experience with thin bezels, 16:10 ratio, and excellent color quality.

Weaknesses

The laptop is not slim as the name suggests, with a weight of 2.4 kg and thickness of about 25 mm.

The speakers are quite normal and have low volume, making them hard to hear in noisy environments.
The touchpad is wobbly and makes a weird sound when working alone in a quiet room.
The battery life is limited, lasting only about 3 hours with high-performance configurations.

Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 2

Decent connectivity with ports that's not bad in terms of the ports (although not class leading)
Pretty good sound for a laptop in this price range
A consumer-oriented laptop that's not going to break the bank, perfect for those who don't want to spend $2500 on a dell xps 15 or 16-inch macbook pro
