Students or business users who want something more professional than an IdeaPad without needing to spend an arm or a leg for a "proper" ThinkPad model can consider the Lenovo ThinkBook series instead.

I think the price is very reasonable.

Be careful, the Ryzen 5 5500U based ThinkBook G3 series are miles away from Intel i5-1135G7 for 3D performances as they are not provided with Vega 7.
I just bought one and 3D benchmarks far away from Iris Xe, I spent time to understand why and it seems that Lenovo only equip their 5500U with basic unkown "Lucienne" Radeon 448SP GPU that I didn't know it existed and problem is that all Ryzen 5 5500U versus Intel Core i5-1135G7 benchmark I saw (and I saw a lot beofre choosing between AMD or Intel model) always compared Radeon Vega 7 vs Iris Xe GPU so I didn't know that a 5500U could come without Vega 7, so don't be fooled like I did, if you look for decent 3D performances go for Thinkbook G2 Intel's Core i5 models.
