Original subtitles

hey guys I'm Anand your tech guide from

techstore and in this video going to be

showing you the latest Lenovo thinkbook

15 Gen 4 variant it might be Intel i5 or

ryzen 5 the look and feel Remains the

Same so if you're planning to purchase

this particular laptop then this is a

video you need to watch before buying it

if you've already purchased it then this

video will let you know how to upgrade

the RAM put a new battery if in a

scenario you have to replace a battery

put new SSD and basically know the inner

uh upgrade process of this particular

lap top so let's get

[Music]

started so this laptop basically is a

sandwich between the ThinkPad and the

idea pad series of Leno laptops so you

get best of the Both Worlds uh at a low

price point you get something which is

as sturdy as a ThinkPad and uh the think

book uh is basically targeted at the

business audiences this comes in

multiple variants the one that we are

viewing today is a core II 12 generation

it comes with a u processor as well as a

ryzen 5 that also is with a u processor

and it comes with 8 GB 16GB and 512gb

variants so it depends on uh which

particular model you are taking but the

look and feel and the process to upgrade

will remain absolutely the same so let

me show you the exterior of this

particular laptop on the top uh you have

this uh fantastic Metal finish uh very

surprisingly in uh under 50,000 RUP

laptop you have a metal finish really

impressed the thinkbook logo is not

engraved it's just painted the Lenovo

over here uh is uh engraved as you can

see there is a dual tone silver and gray

over here which gives it a very premium

feel once you open the laptop uh you'll

see three-sided Nano bezel it has got a

full HD non IPS uh screen it has got

anti glare but non IPS and even the

brightness is not all that great on this

particular model remember we are

reviewing the entry-level core I5

variant the higher end ones uh which are

with core i7 might have a IPS also so

you need to be very sure before buying

it so this comes with a full HD non IPS

uh TN uh screen so the viewing angles

are absolutely pathetic if you would ask

me and uh the webcam is there the webcam

shutter we'll show you how the webcam

quality is the webcam of the Lenovo

think book uh 15 and I can tell you the

video quality is

pathetic the audio quality is good but

but you cannot really use it for a lot

of uh Zoom calling and all as you can

see there's so much lighting over here

still it's a little grainy and uh the

resolution is also only 720p so as

always in Lenovo laptops the webcam is

not

good the heat disp vent area is over

here again as uh is in the most Lenovo

laptops the laptop looks very sturdy uh

on the look of it the keyboard is a

standard looking Lenovo keyboard it is a

backlit keyboard single light LED

backlit and the keyboard is very nice uh

to work with the key travel could have

been a little more but uh this is the

way the laptop they have designed the

power button sits over here it's a good

thing to have a power button which is

not inside the keyboard the trackpad is

a little smaller uh comparatively in the

competition this is a smaller trackpad

that they've given it's a multi- gesture

uh trackpad apart from the Intel II

sticker there are no other stickers over

here the Lenovo logo is over here

engraved on the keyboard there are

multiple function Keys you can uh turn

off and turn on the function lck by

pressing the FN and the Escape key the

Interiors are uh absolutely silver in

color and again the same matte finish is

uh continued it's not metallic

whatsoever let me show you the left side

IO ports on the left side uh you have a

charging pin with a c type uh that's a

great thing to have this laptop charges

on a c type for an entry level 50,000

rce laptop it's it's a very good thing

to have as well as this acts as a c type

port for uh data delivery then you have

a thunderbolt Port where you can connect

a DP uh monitor or a HDMI monitor you

have another HDMI 2.1 Port you have a

usba a port this is a gen 3.2 even the C

types are all gen 3.2 you have the

headphone mic comi you have a small

pinhole recovery option uh given over

here as in with all Leno laptops you

have the battery indicator over here the

laptop is very slim and looks very very

very tidy in the front there are

absolutely no iOS whatsoever on the

right uh you have a memory card reader

you have a USB a 3.2 gen Port you have a

ethernet port this is a gigb ethernet

port and you have a mini Kensington lock

on the rear uh they're absolutely no iOS

whatsoever the base of the laptop is

just like any other idea pad laptop that

you would see there are perforations

over here for heat dissipation the

speaker is over here left and right the

bottom firing speak speakers very

clutter-free base we will now dig deep

into this particular laptop there's only

one single Rudder given over here and

two small Rudders over here now let's

dig deep and see how to upgrade this

particular laptop first thing first uh

we need to flip the

laptop take a star screwdriver and you

need to remove this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

screws in total we start from this

part

these are the base one screws and you

need to keep it

[Music]

separately none of these screws will

come out let's see the hinges

screw none of these screws also will

come out we need to take a triangular

prior like

this and prude from the

[Music]

side there will be some crackling sound

while opening and the base will come off

like this this is the internals of the

Lenovo thinkbook 15 Generation 4 G4 you

can see the batteries over here are

smaller battery m.2 nvme ssds over here

as well as there is another additional

slot that is given it's a very good

thing this is the ram area there's a

Wi-Fi chip one single fan cosos cell and

uh speakers over here so let's uh start

by removing the battery first you to

remove this particular Notch over here

first

start removing the

screws three screws and it's out this is

the battery if you're here to just

replace the battery this is the battery

that you need to replace so the part

code is l19 M3 PDA the battery power

rating is 45 W hours uh The Limited

charging voltage is 3 13.2 Vol 3,820 M

so this is the battery that you need to

take to replace for the laptop let's

keep it on one side coming to the part

where the SSD is you can remove this

particular screw over here it uh allows

you to upgrade 2 TB into two nvme ssds

that's a great thing to

have so this is a Gen 4 m.2 NVM SSD this

is the 2230 the small form factor you

can uh take a 2280 SSD D and you don't

require this particular plate over here

you can just directly take it and insert

it we will show you how the 2280 looks

like so this is the 2280 long form

factor m.2 NVM SSD you can take up to 2

tbte uh SSD and you can insert it Gen 4

SSD you can insert it like

this and you can fit it like

this and you can fit another NVM

SSD you can you can take a 2230 like

this or a 2280 and you can just insert

it over here screw has already been

provided so you just need to open the

screw and just put it up like this so

this is a fantastic utility to have two

nvme ssds that you can put on this

particular

laptop coming to the ram area there's

only one single Ram slot over here and

it is shielded by a casing just need to

very carefully remove uh this particular

casing over here just covering the

ram there's some amount of glue so don't

worry it not break or

anything this is empty slot over here so

you can take a 8GB ddr4 3200 MHz Ram can

be any brand uh cruell or Kingston or

any brand it has to be ddr4 3200 MHz

actually this laptop can also be

upgraded up to almost 40 GB as per the

company specs so you can take up to 32

GB ddr4 similar memory ddr4 and just

insert it over here like this insert it

and just press it like this and you're

good to go so 8 GB is solded on this

particular laptop and uh Plus 8 GB we

have made it 16 GB now you can go up to

40gb so this is the part where the camos

cell is so in a scenario your time and

date is not working you just need to

remove this particular Notch over here

and replace the seos shell this is the

daughter board this is the main

motherboard this speaker connector is

over here so you need to remove the

speaker there are absolutely no uh

screws holding onto it you can just

remove it like this and also this pitler

speaker the left and right speakers both

of them you can

just remove this Notch and you can

replace the speaker this is the display

cable over here so in a scenario your

laptop is not working as in you are

powering on but the display is not there

just need to remove this cable once

after disconnecting everything power it

on and then again remove put the display

cable back many times the display Comes

This is the processor fan over here we

can show it to

you so this is the fan that you need to

buy in a scenario you want to change the

fan of the Lenovo thing Book 15 this is

a Gen 4 variant this is the fan that you

need to

buy okay first you need to put the fan

like

this and then you need to put the

wi-fi

antennas so if you want to replace the

Wi-Fi chip just need to remove this one

screws and these two antennas and you

can replace the Wi-Fi chip also need to

the put the screws back of the processor

fan so this here is the keyboard

connector this is the backlit connector

this is the touchpad connector over here

now let's put the battery

[Music]

back need to put the lid back like this

[Music]

start pressing it from all

sides

[Music]

start just do a visual inspection if all

the flow brackets are fitted properly

and uh you can power on the

laptop as soon as you power on it will

not immediately give you display it'll

power on and again power off maybe at a

point of time so don't worry too much

eventually the display will come now

let's see if the laptop opens with a one

hand

operation n it's very very tight and uh

it's stutters so immediately you need to

have the hinges loosened and calibrated

otherwise it might uh end up breaking

the hinge over here let me show you the

top Flex the top Flex is very very

minimal because of the metal uh bzel

that they have given on the top so very

impressed very tight uh top

bzel the keyboard

uh also there is absolutely minimal Flex

I would say a little bit of flex but uh

very minimal if you would ask me that

way now let me show you the sound

quality of this particular uh laptop it

does not have any certification of any

speaker

the audio is very very tinny it's not

loud the speaker quality is very bad

don't buy it if you are uh person who

likes a lot of music you might be really

uh let down by the speaker quality so

big thumbs down on the speaker for this

particular laptop the viewing angles are

very bad as you can see as we move away

the screen becomes absolutely dark and

uh the negatives start to cop

up so not at all a good screen it's got

a basic 60 HZ panel the heat disp V area

also over here um it might generate a

lot of uh heat if you're working on

something very high and the LCD BAS

covers the area where the heat

dissipation is that again is not

something that we desire so this my

friends was a video showing you the

review as well as the disassembly

upgrade process of the Lenovo thinkbook

15 the 14 and the 15 variants look

absolutely the same just the screen size

is different so if you're uh wanting to

upgrade the same process will apply so

this laptop basically comes with a core

i5 12 generation and a core i7 12

generation as well as a ryzen 5 7000

variant all of them are U series

processors and it comes with Windows 11

homeown does not come with a MS Office

license preloaded the screen quality is

pathetic uh it's got a full HD non IPS

anti-glare screen and uh we would not

highly recommend it for people who watch

a lot of movies or do a lot of uh

creative work on this particular laptop

the webcam is also pathetic uh the

webcam quality is not at all good very

grainy despite having a lot of light the

video quality was bad the speaker

quality is very bad so coming to the

positives here the build quality is very

sturdy the keyboard quality is good the

trackpad quality is also very good the

overall uh number of IO ports that this

particular laptop has Beats uh any

laptop in this particular competition it

has got C type charging which no laptop

in this uh price range has it's got a

thunderbolt 4 it's got all C type gen

3.2 ports as well as it's got an

ethernet port as well as the upgrade

option is very simple it has got two

nvme SSD slots and the ram upgrade

capacity is up to 40 GB so all in all a

good laptop the battery backup is

although very poor it's only got 45 wat

hour it'll give you around 3 to four

hours on a normal working us AG the

battery could have been a little bigger

there was ample space available for you

to put in the battery Lenovo but you did

not so that that's the way it is maybe

in India you are having this smaller

battery maybe in Europe or us the

battery is much bigger but here we have

a small battery the keyboard is a

backlit keyboard the brightness is not

all that great but uh good enough for

working it's got uh Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth

5.3 and uh the weight is around 1.7 kgs

so all in all a good packaged uh uh

laptop by Lenovo U sandwiched between

the ThinkPad and the idea pad the

thinkbook sits absolutely fine for you

as a business case customer this is the

laptop that you need to buy thank you so
