A little drab, Pricey, as tested, Dual-core performance in exchange for battery life
In some ways, business laptops have a tougher balance to strike than consumer systems. A gaming notebook with a high-end graphics card, but a keyboard that flexes could still sell. A business machine with a lack-luster keyboard? Word will get around. Buil...
In the end, the price and awesome battery life make the Lenovo ThinkPad W550s a lightweight mobile workstation that can crunch through renders quickly. If I was ordering one for myself I would probably max out the memory at 32GB, get rid of the touchscree...

Great battery life for a mobile workstation class machine. Good 3K display, superb keyboard, relatively light at 5 pounds
Dual core i7 might not pack enough power for demanding users
The Lenovo ThinkPad W550s is an unusual beast of a machine: it's the engineering and CAD laptop for road warriors who put battery life at a premium. The W550s succeeds at that with very long battery life with the 6 cell rear battery, and the laptop is mor...
