Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. Unsurprisingly, the entire device is built out of plastic. It has a fabric-like texture pattern on both the lid and the base. Interestingly, they are both fairly resistant to flex, and significantly less bendy than the Vostro 15 3510, which we’ve tested recently. In the illustration below you can see how the display performs from a uniformity perspective. In other words, the leakage of light from the light source.

We also didn’t expect the touchpad to be this good. Well, it is not the best out there, but it’s clearly one of the best in its class.Lenovo V15 Gen 2 doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. This makes it comfortable for long periods of work in this aspect. This laptop's FHD (1920 x 1080) display yields vivid colors and clarity, with narrow side bezels to enhance the view. The measured maximum brightness of 256 nits in the middle of the screen and 229 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 18%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen is 5780K – warmer than the optimal for the sRGB standard of 6500K, which is not bad. Lenovo V15 will keep your business productive and your data secure, while its thinner, smaller design and narrower side bezels put a clean, professional look on your desk - or wherever you choose to use it.

Not so mindblowing is the I/O. While it is good in the width of its coverage, some ports leave room for improvement. For example, one of the USB Type-As is 2.0, while the USB Type-C port can only be used for data transfer. And there is no SD card slot anywhere to be found. The bottom panel houses two speaker cutouts, as well as a ventilation grill. You can see parts of the fan peaking through the vent. Hot air, respectively, is being exhausted from a slit in between the lid and the base. Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Graphics push the Lenovo V15 Gen 2 (15" AMD) laptop through your to-do list. On top of that, up to 16GB memory and a hybrid combination of up to 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD and 2TB HDD storage allow for efficient multitasking, speedy data access, and plenty of storage. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light.Traditionally, this series brings a huge amount of cost-cutting with itself. Through the years, we’ve seen plastic builds, slow hardware, and unattractive displays. However, there is something that tells us this year will be different. Generally, using this laptop has been a pleasure. With the exception of the horrid TN display, everything about it begs you to go and buy it. If you are able to find an IPS-equipped model, you should definitely go for it.
