Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 2

Strengths

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Generation 2 is clearly designed to be light enough and bring performance that can outlast any competitor in the incredibly fierce business market.
It has a Qi wireless charging map, which provides an additional surface for charging another device while also providing metal squares that make contact with the bottom of the laptop.
The laptop's build quality is excellent, with a sleek aluminum chassis and a 12.9mm profile, weighing only 1.2kg.
The keyboard has spill resistance and clicky feedback, which compensates for the lack of key travel, making it easy to type on.
The touchpad is responsive and accurate, even if it's not the biggest.
The webcam has an IR sensor for facial recognition, a proximity sensor that locks the laptop when you move away from it, and an ambient light sensor for auto brightness adjustment.
It has a QHD+ IPS display with 424 nits of peak brightness, which fully covers the sRGB color gamut and has accurate colors thanks to its Delta E value of 0.8.

Weaknesses

The battery life is lacking, lasting only 6 hours and 33 minutes of web browsing or 8 hours and 58 minutes of video playback.
The cooling system can't keep up with competitors, causing the laptop to falter in performance tests.
The port selection is limited, with only two Thunderbolt 4 ports and no USB-A ports on the sides.
The speaker setup is decent but not impressive, despite being Harman Kardon branded.
The maximum boost of the Core i7 processor is lower than most competitors, at up to 30 watts and 2.9 GHz.
The laptop heats up slightly when under heavy use, with a hot spot of 41.4°C.
The soldered memory means that upgrading the RAM is not possible, which may be a concern for some users.
