It sports a sober and professional design with its thin black aluminum shell chassis.
On the connection side, this computer is well equipped with its USB 3.1 Type-C, its Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi ac wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, its practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports as well as its 3 USB (USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 compatible), USB 3.0 ensuring transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in peripherals USB 3.0.
This laptop runs Windows 10 Pro, a more complete system than classic Windows 10 with its advanced network management and security tools like BitLocker.
Too bad this fact that this PC ignores a biometric reader and a keyboard backlight system. It nevertheless benefits from a double pointing system which is rare, composed of the traditional touchpad and the more precise TrackPoint.
On the display side, there is a screen suitable for High Definition content and in particular for videos with its precise Full HD definition and 16: 9 format. Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen displays more faithful colors than the average as well as significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles.

Performance, battery life of the Lenovo ThinkPad E595 (20NF0004FR)
The Lenovo ThinkPad E595 (20NF0004FR) is a 15-inch High Definition laptop designed for general purpose portable use Pro.
Thanks to its finesse and its controlled weight even if it is not as light as an Ultrabook, this computer sees its transport facilitated. Side autonomy, it can last about 8 hours on battery in light use, which will interest nomads.
However, it delivers good general performance able to satisfy many users because it relies on an AMD APU processor (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 5 3500U Quad Core low consumption Picasso coupled with 8 GB of RAM.
To regularly perform demanding work in processor resources, it is better to opt for a PC based on a non-low power processor.
In any case, the Ryzen 5 3500U has the advantage of integrating within it the graphics solution Radeon Vega 8 significantly more efficient than the UHD 620 of Intel processors. In fact, the Vega 8 is positioned at the level of an entry-level graphics card. It therefore allows you to play titles that consume little graphics resources but also of course to watch photos and videos.
This computer will also appeal to those who wish to obtain a high storage capacity because it offers a total of 1.2 TB. We find more specifically a 256 GB SSD intended to house the system as well as the main software, coupled with a hard disk with a large capacity of 1000 GB to accommodate the rest.
In practice, the SSD guarantees significantly more fluid and responsive operation than a simple hard drive. This notably results in much faster software start / stop and launch.
