The Display: Bright & Vivid
Despite having a smaller screen, the display of Lenovo ThinkPad A280 does not compromise in the quality. Thankfully, TN panel is not used in this display and we get an IPS display instead. The IPS is known for providing comfortable viewing angles and better quality.
The colour reproduction of the screen produced bright and clear colours on the screen. When we watched our favourite season in FHD quality, the display showcased accurate colours of even the smallest characters on the screen. The maximum brightness offered by the display is around 305 nits, which is not more and not less either. This laptop uses the in-cell touch technology that enhances the touchscreen flow, and the tough digitizer is used in the same layer.
The 117% of sRGB colour gamut in the X280 is slightly above than the regular premium laptops. So, the colour contrasts can be seen in an excellent ratio on the display. If you observe the display overall, it’s not glossy in fact, the matte display avoids reflections.
Performance
Lenovo Thinkpad A280 is the ultimate performer when it comes to loading, downloading, and uploading. It features a core i5 Intel processor that starts with the base speed of 1.7 GHz and goes up to the maximum turbo speed of at least 3.9 GHz. No matter what are the number of files you are working on, or downloading, the speed of this Thinkpad does not slow down. This is one of the biggest reasons this ThinkPad is perfectly suitable for business users.
The RAM in this laptop is massively large i.e. 16GB, so in case you always stressed about memory, there’s nothing here to worry about. Along that, the solid-state drive storage of 512GB makes it up for intensive storage. You can store huge files, spreadsheets, and projects without a second thought.
Battery
Unfortunately, we were not entirely satisfied with the battery power, Lenovo X280 has for us. Lenovo has powered this laptop with 29Wh battery. Now in the real-life experiment, this battery is not enough for an all-day usage. With Wi-Fi on, and all activities going on, the laptop can last 8 hours. We expected the battery life to be more according to the 13-hour timing of the X270.
Verdict
Business professionals should be happier as Lenovo ThinkPad X280 is exclusively built for them. From the outclass display to the impressive performance and speed, the X280 is ideal for regular usage. This laptop is also designed for portable users, who are always travelling with their digital endeavours. You can also buy this laptop on 0% finance on the official Five Tech UK Store.
