The V15 G2 gets the practical things right: 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, a light body for a 15.6-inch laptop and a port selection that includes Ethernet and HDMI. Startup is fast and everyday use smooth for documents, browsing, streaming and video calls. The dual-core Celeron N4500 is where it runs out of road, and multitasking is its weakest point. The screen, with a narrow 45% NTSC colour range, divides opinion. Bought for everyday work, it does the job well; bought for heavy use, it will disappoint.
Who should buy it
- Students and home users with light everyday workloads
- Small offices that want plenty of storage, a numeric keypad and a wired Ethernet port
- Anyone replacing an older, slower laptop who values quick startup and a light body
- Buyers who need full Windows 11 rather than a Chromebook, without needing much processing power
This is a laptop to buy for its memory, storage and ports rather than its speed. The 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD mean it will not run short of room, and it is light and easy to carry. The Celeron N4500 keeps everyday tasks smooth but slows under heavier multitasking, and the screen is serviceable rather than vivid. If your day is documents, email, web apps and calls, it fits well. If you edit media, stream or keep several demanding apps running, spend on a stronger processor instead.
