Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

I purchased it for study purposes because I frequently move between cities in search of lucrative ones and I needed a portable, light laptop to work with Microsoft Visio, the compass, and to create abstracts and presentations for the distance education system (openedu, etc.) as well as for my soul (to play with new toys with ray tracing off). I was astonished by the laptop's performance because I had anticipated both a decline and an improvement. I'll try to explain. Regarding letdowns: My computer has a 1660x1050 resolution, yet many projects run at a considerably higher frame rate even though my monitor has a 2K resolution. However, when DLSS is activated, the FPS on the laptop (1080p) matches that of the computer. Remember that the 3050ti is a laptop model and has been slightly reduced due to its compact size. Nevertheless, all games run smoothly (Cyberpunk 2077 with tracing, Forza 5, Metro Exodus, more than 60 fps even with tracing and the highest graphical setting, but with DLSS disabled). For him, it's like a browser, so I keep quiet about all running applications (I don't work in rendering, etc.).

Pros
  • I paid a fairly reasonable amount for a strong, little, lovely design (subjectively, of course, tastes and colors vary among felt-tip pens; all such models cost 10–20,000 more). I've used it for six months now with no issues.
Cons
  • No operating system, however occasionally it is a "+" Not everything is straightforward when the system first starts up; to install all the drivers, you'll need to search YouTube and the official website. I couldn't install Windows because there was nowhere to download it, and I couldn't see the SSD in the packaging, so I had to seek for drivers on the SSD. I spent a day looking about; I'm not very knowledgeable in this; but, using video guidance made things pretty straightforward; all you had to do was attentively watch and read what to do (you'll need a flash drive and another computer to get all the drivers). Then, after setting up the driver on the SSD, I installed Windows and finished setting up the remaining drivers. In general, until you install all of the drivers from the official website, the laptop will not fully function (I just warn you); however, since I had some free time, I sat down and figured it out. Then, as I was using it, the video card driver flew off. I left a file with it on the desktop, and it was useful a few times when game frames per second abruptly vanished (the laptop converted to integrated graphics). However, I was aware of everything prior to purchasing it. Although I paid 70, if I had ordered a month or two earlier, the price would have been 55 (competitors started at 85).
