Good value for money, I recommend.

The laptop was purchased in November 2022 for 83,000. I am happy with the laptop. After I bought RAM 2 dice for 8GB, as from the factory there were 2 dice of 4 GB each. Bought an ssd. During operation, it was noticed that when working in applications, the screen flickers periodically, which was very annoying. After several times I changed the BIOS firmware to a new one, and ated the drivers for the video card, the problem went away by itself. Disabled CPU Turbo Boost. After that, the processor in games is heated to a maximum of 80 degrees. I fixed the fps in the graphics card performance settings, but this helped partially. In modern games, the temperature of the video memory on the sensors reaches 90 degrees, although the video chip itself heats up to 80. On the English site, I found a way to unlock Radeon Wattman. I did a little undervolting after unlocking, the temperature of the video chip dropped by 2 degrees. In the future, I think to change the thermal pads to graphite and change the thermal paste at the same time.

Pros
  • Productive. It has a 6-core processor - according to tests, an analogue of amd ryzen 1600. In modern games, where the emphasis is on multithreading, 6 cores decide. The video card is an analogue of the mobile rtx 2060. You can play all modern games. 6 GB of video memory is enough for the eyes. 3 slots for ssd m2 nvme. When working on a laptop, the fans are almost inaudible if the balanced mode is selected.
Cons
  • amd smartshift. The processor heats up to 90+ degrees, if you do not turn off the turbo boost. The keyboard burns fingers, especially on the right side above the video chip, as the video memory heats up to 90 degrees. This is most likely a problem with the thermal pads. You can't just install an hdd in a laptop. You need to buy a separate cable for hdd. Radeon Wattman is disabled by default. Undervolting the video card without unlocking will not work
