Question Low blue light filter upgrade on ThinkPad T16 gen 2 ?

[KristinJ]

Does anyone here have a ThinkPad T16 gen 2 that's Eyesafe Certified 2.0 ?
I ordered one and it came without any Eyesafe logo on the laptop itself or
on the packaging.

I've read that the logo should be on the product and on the outside box for the consumers' peace of mind.

Lenovo says because my order was customized, they left off the Eyesafe sticker.

So would you trust that it is actually certified? Thank you!

Maybe ask them how you can verify if the panel included in the custom purchase actually has the feature you're asking for in your laptop. If the package does not have any mention of the feature, than it's missing from your actual product.

If they can't verify it, then you should return the laptop, IMHO.

Does it really mattter? Blue light filtering is a gimmick and there's no evidence to show that it improves sleep or reduces eye strain.

Lutfij, thanks so much for responding. Just curious: what would you consider an acceptable verification?

If I order a second laptop with the same specs, and it doesn't have any logos on it either -- would that suggest that mine does have the feature? It's unlikely they'd mistakenly leave it out of two laptops.

Thanks.

I know, you're probably right. But I'd convinced myself that Eyesafe certification was what I wanted, and it's hard to let go of the idea at this point.

My point was it doesn’t really matter if it is or isn’t. Blue light filtering does actually do anything ergo the product is the same with or without it. Blue light filtering is about as effective as saying having a lump of quartz on your toilet cistern will help with constipation.

I understand that. But I paid extra for the upgrade. I should be able to know if I got it.

If you didn’t just claim cost back but functionally the laptop doesn’t change either way.
