Lenovo Thinkpad X395 Business Laptop, 13.3" FHD, Windows 11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 5 3500, 256GB SSD, 8GB DDR4 RAM (Renewed)

I bought this monitor because it was nicely priced, USB-C and I have a Mac. The primary requirement was USB-C Mac compatibility.After I placed the order, I found online reviews that trashed this monitor for non compatibility with Mac. I almost cancelled the order. I called Lenovo and the agent I spoke to said the reviews were dated and that the monitor would work properly.I am happy to report the monitor works as I expect via USB-C. I am using a single cable setup connecting to the Mac with charging.I am so thrilled with the quality and performance of the monitor. The speakers on the monitor are just ok but I use my MacBook speakers so no worries.I am happy with the monitor and would suggest it positively to other shoppers.Kind regards

I had already ordered a T495 with a Ryzen 3700u from Lenovo with similar specs for $950 (a substantial discount from their list price) when I saw this item on Amazon for $650. I ordered from Amazon and will send the other one back to Lenovo as soon as it gets here.The benchmarks for the 3500u actually seem to beat out the more expensive 3700u which I had already ordered. I don't know what explains this, but according to my research this computer should perform about the same as the one with the better processor.I was a little concerned about the screen because none of the reviews I found online where for a T495 with touch. In fact the screen is just fine, if slightly too dim. I haven't had a situation where the brightness isn't enough, but it would be nice to have a little headroom in this regard.Everything about the computer is really nice. Very solid build, looks and feels great. The keyboard feels good and the touchpad is decent, though not as good as my old Surface Book 2. The hinges are sturdy and hold the display at whatever angle I need. The ports are all great and feel solid; nothing is loose in them.Unfortunately the provided 65W charger doesn't provide for fast-charging, so I'll be upgrading that. I have a 16 GB RAM stick coming which by all accounts will give the computer a substantial boost in performance thanks to opening up dual-channel RAM usage. With a $60 16gb RAM stick and about the same amount for a bigger SSD I have a great computer at a bargain price. I doubt I could do much better without getting something used.
