Lenovo ThinkPad X395 Laptop Review: A fight for the hegemony of business laptops

89% - The Lenovo ThinkPad X395 is a great sub and office notebook that revealed few weaknesses during our tests. The AMD-powered machine is at least equal to its Intel sibling, but while running more quietly, coolly and economically. The X395 has stronger GPU performance than the X390 too, which is a bonus.

Review date: October 15, 2019 | Model: Lenovo ThinkPad X395

The ThinkPad X390 and its Intel CPU scored 90% when we reviewed it in April, 1% more than the ThinkPad X395 has. This does not make the former better overall than the latter though, as we have moved to a new ratings system since April. The ThinkPad X390 and X395 are about as good each other, but they both have their idiosyncrasies… Lenovo currently sells our test configuration for around 927 Euros (~$1,022), but third-party retailers may soon start offering the X395 at more affordable prices. Overall, we would recommend the X395 to not only businesses but also private individuals who are after a solid 13.3-inch subnotebook.
