Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

Passed the next day after the purchase due to the whistle of CO. Whatever the pros, this one minus outweighs everything. You can farm something there, stick adhesive tape on the bottom in the right places, but this will not solve the problem, but only diminish it. For those who think that they will "get used to it", good luck and good mood. If there are many returns, the engineers may fix something and we will get a good offer at a good price.

Pros
  • - Solid appearance without flashy design elements - High-quality to the touch plastic case - Full keyboard with numpad and arrows - 165Hz screen with 100% sRGB coverage - Powerful hardware: 5600/5800h + 16GB + 3060/3070 + 512GB/1TB drive - Decent cooling: the processor in games is on average 80-85C, the video card is 72-75C
Cons
  • - WHISTLE CO. Moreover, the problem is not in the squeak of the coils of the power supply system or in the marriage of turntables, but in the incorrect calculation of the aerodynamics of the bottom. The volume of the whistle changes if you raise or lower the laptop itself from the table. The quietest (but it is also heard in silence) is when the laptop just stands on its native legs. If you raise the rear legs to the height of a box of matches, then the temperatures will drop by 3-5C, the whistle will increase noticeably. I could not stand playing in this mode for more than 40 minutes, when not only was the noise from the air + whistling. It is not clear to me why the turntables do not stop in idle time, but spin constantly? - 5800h, although powerful on paper, but coupled with the brake 3200CL22 RAM in my favorite BF1 somehow gives out 100-110 fps, and this is the level of Ryzen 1700. You expect more from iron in 2022. If you only play graphic games with 60 fps, then it will be enough. If in multiplayer, there will be drawdowns and low fps. Also, for some reason, this processor does not go to sleep, the frequency on the desktop always keeps at 2900-3000 MHz. Either problems with DPC (system latency), or just a feature of the new Ruzens, but the last laptop on Intel always slept at 800 MHz with the turntables turned off in idle time. - The webcam is just awful. Something like cell phones from 2022. - The speakers do not match the price. It would be nice to put such office ones in the Ideapad, but it seems like a gaming / multimedia laptop on which they will watch movies, play games. The sound is loud, but flat. Buying even inexpensive plastic tweeters (my advice is Creative Pebble) will make a difference, and louder and even bass is there.
