Is the 4K screen worth it over the 1080p version?

The 4K panel is sharper and better for photo and video editing, but it costs battery life. If you mostly work plugged in, it is the better pick; for travel, the 1080p model lasts longer.

Can it handle video editing and 3D work?

Yes. The quad-core i7-7700HQ, 16GB RAM and SSD handle 1080p editing and moderate 3D rendering well. Very heavy 4K timelines will still push the fans.

How long does the battery last?

Expect well under a full workday with the 4K screen, and less under load. It is best treated as a plug-in machine for demanding tasks.

Does it have a stylus and is it included?

The touchscreen supports an active pen, but the pen is not included in the box. You need to buy a compatible Lenovo pen separately.

What ports does it have?

It has USB-C with Thunderbolt 3, two USB-A ports and a headphone jack. There is no SD card reader, so photographers need an adapter.

Is it good for drawing in tablet mode?

The hinge folds flat for tablet and tent modes, and the screen works with an active pen. The 15.6-inch body is large and heavy to hold for long drawing sessions.
