Performance

It contains a 2.8 to 4.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7-1165G7 (11th Gen) processor with 12 MB of L3 Cache.

It contains a 2.4 to 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5-1135G7 (11th Gen) processor with 8 MB of L3 Cache.

With an 11th gen Intel CPU you can be assured that the laptop has a recent CPU. Whilst not the latest, due to the release of the Intel 12 Series CPUs, it is still recent. However, with the release of the 12th gen you may wish to choose that instead to ensure the longevity of your new laptop.

There's a Integrated graphics card which is a Intel Iris Xe.

An integrated card tends to not offer as much graphics processing power as a dedicated video card.

The maximum memory capacity is 32 GB via the 1 (0 Available) memory slots.

The RAM slot type is 260-Pin SO-DIMM.

Because at least one of the ram slots in the Lenovo 15.6" ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 is replaceable, you will be able to upgrade the ram at a later date.

  • - 4.3
The Lenovo ThinkPad E15 laptop is a good laptop for a business owner or any person that will support checking emails, working on word processing apps, and other works. The input devices, port selection, and processor are all good for a better performance but a dedicated graphics card would have been more appreciated.
