You should not take it, it does not meet any standards.

After spending more than two hours on the phone with those support and performing all kinds of tests, it was found that the defect was not software. A technical support specialist made an appointment with an authorized service center. In an authorized warranty service center, I was politely refused to replace the laptop. "Declared defects are acceptable in the operation of the laptop." For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that the laptop really works flawlessly (except for the XD squeak) and all sorts of tests and stress tests pass as expected. However, my expectations from a laptop for 200,000 were not justified. I wish my new laptop didn't beep. I am disappointed in the quality of the laptop. I am completely upset with the company's policy. It was necessary to take another laptop on Windows. I regret the purchase and am disappointed. PS on the Internet, especially in English-language forums, there are a lot of complaints about similar defects, people record these sounds on studio microphones (you will never hear this sound in the store due to external noise) and return laptops and this happens 3-4 times and the defect is repeated everywhere. Thank you for reading to the end, I hope that my review will save your budget or help you evaluate the shortcomings when buying a laptop in advance.

Pros
  • High-quality screen, powerful processor, fast SSD, good operating system, stable operation (never rebooted). Through Boot Camp installed the second operating system (the easiest Windows installation in my life). The problem with the clicking of the speakers has already been eliminated and I did not have it. Good keyboard, small but clear key travel.
Cons
  • Two of the wildest (in my opinion) shortcomings: 1. Constant squeaking throttles 2. Sounds under load The first drawback mentioned above manifests itself as follows: when connecting peripheral devices (mouse, hub with rj-45, etc.), the laptop constantly beeps. This sound is not heard in the office, during the day when working at home (street noise, refrigerator, etc.), but at night it is simply incredibly annoying. The sound can be compared to the sound from old radio tube televisions. The second drawback mentioned above is manifested as follows: when you turn on the computer, open the browser (with a bunch of tabs) or start "heavy" applications, the laptop makes sounds similar to the sound from the HDD (although it is installed, of course, SSD).
