The 16:10 aspect ratio cuts out unnecessary bezel along the bottom "chin" of the display, and it provides a bit of extra screen space for viewing documents. The 13.3-inch display in my review unit does not have touch functionality, though it is an optional upgrade. There's enough bass to have the chassis thump, highs come through fairly clear, and there's no distortion at high volumes. Speakers provide ample volume when listening to music, and voices come through clear on calls. Note that this isn't the same as Dolby Atmos, which is more of a spatial audio tech that can emulate surround sound. Some Dolby Audio tuning profile options are available through Lenovo's onboard Vantage app, giving you a bit of flexibility in what audio sounds like. The keyboard's wide setup on the compact chassis means there isn't enough room for top-firing speakers they're installed on the bottom panel in a more traditional sense, with one 2W speakers in either front corner. The ThinkBook 13s (Gen 4)'s keyboard is one of its best features those who spend all day typing will love what Lenovo has to offer.
#ALTERNATIVE TO CODEKIT FOR WINDOWS 1080P#
If you're someone who lives in meetings, the upgrade to 1080p should nevertheless be considered. It does the job well for quick chats and video conferences.
#ALTERNATIVE TO CODEKIT FOR WINDOWS 720P#
The 720p camera is quite good, dealing with different levels of exposure and providing a fairly clear image. That might come in the future if Lenovo allows customers to build their own PC. A laptop this price can't exactly be faulted for offering the cheaper option, but I wish users could choose to mix and match a non-touch display with the 1080p camera. Lenovo's current list of configurations includes the extra pixels with the touch display option non-touch screens stick with 720p, which is what I have in my review unit. On that note, the webcam is available in 720p and 1080p.
There's no option to add an IR sensor for facial recognition, even when stepping up to the FHD camera array. The lock slot is joined by a firmware TPM 2.0 chip, a fingerprint reader built into the power button (located just above the keyboard), and a privacy shutter for the webcam. This is a great little addition that can give you some extra peace of mind when working in a public space, or even in a busy office. The right side of the laptop also has a Kensington Nano lock slot, allowing users to secure their laptop with a lock cable. The only thing missing is a card reader for quick transfers from removable storage. There's an HDMI port for video out, dual Thunderbolt 4 for further video and data support (as well as the ability to connect to a powerful Thunderbolt 4 dock), USB-A for older accessories, and a 3.5mm audio jack. A base chassis as thin as this one often forces manufacturers to ditch any sort of port variety, but the ThinkBook 13s makes good on offering what most people will need on a daily basis.
