Review on Lenovo IdeaPad Processor Graphics Windows by Velizar Yanev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, a pleasure to use.

It was bought in 2022 to replace a Core i5-equipped HP laptop whose matrix attachment loops had been pulled out, and it was given to a much-loved woman who uses it for work. This new laptop is a significant improvement over its predecessor in terms of processing speed, display quality, and portability. Since they intended to add more RAM later, they specifically requested one with 4 GB and no operating system. The motherboard of the laptop already has 4 GB of memory soldered onto it, but there is an extra slot for installing a user-supplied module, which we did; after installing an 8 GB module, we had a total of 12 GB. Moreover, I installed a 1TB HDD taken from a decommissioned laptop. If you need a cable to hook up your hard drive, you can find one on AliExpress by searching for "NBX0001S900." For your convenience, I have included a picture. Remember that the HDD mounting screws are not included either. After preparing a USB drive using Windows 10 Pro's Media Creation Tool, the Wi-Fi drivers automatically booted up after the OS was installed. All drivers were located and installed automatically after starting Windows normally; no extra actions were required. Drivers for Lenovo devices can no longer be downloaded directly from the company's website (as of May 2022) without first connecting to a virtual private network. Lenovo claims that it did not put any restrictions, and that everything is being prevented by Amazon. The end product is a versatile laptop that can be used for everything from office work to watching movies and surfing the web at home. A model with discrete video is recommended if you require it for gaming.

Pros
  • Nimble. Easy. Excellent IPS display. This device has three USB ports. A 2.5" hard disk drive (HDD) can fit. Storage Memory (RAM) is limited to a single slot.
Cons
  • There is no USB-C plug in sight. WiFi-only access; an RJ-45 jack is absent. The overall structure is rather fragile. A SATA cable to link the HDD is not included in the package.
