The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

In 2022, it was bought for a cherished woman to replace an HP laptop with a Core i5, in which the matrix attachment loops were taken off, for office demands. This laptop is lighter, faster, and has a better screen than the previous model. Because they intended to extend it, they specifically took it with four gigabytes of memory and without an OS. The laptop's 4 gigabytes of memory are soldered directly to the motherboard, but there is another slot where you may add your own module. We did this by adding an 8Gb module, making a total of 12 come out. A 1TB HDD from an old laptop was also inserted. There is no cable for attaching the HDD; instead, search for NBX0001S900 on AliExpress. For clarity, I've included a picture. Remember that the screws needed to secure the HDD to the frame are also not provided. Using the Media Creation Tool, a flash drive was created for Windows 10 Pro installation, and the Wi-Fi drivers immediately started working. There was no need to perform any additional gestures to locate and install the drivers after using Windows in the conventional manner. You won't be able to obtain drivers directly from the Lenovo website; instead, you must prepare to use a VPN (May 2022). Lenovo claims that it did not impose; nonetheless, Amazon, whose website the site is spinning on, has forbidden all of this. The end product is a smart laptop that can be used for both business and leisure activities at home, such as watching movies and browsing the Internet. Take a model with discrete video if you need something for gaming.

Pros
  • Nimble. Easy. decent IPS display. three USB ports. It is possible to fit a 2.5" HDD. For RAM, there is a single slot.
Cons
  • without a USB Type C connector. No RJ45 port; only WiFi for internet access. Its body is thin. A SATA cable for attaching the HDD is not included in the kit.
