The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

A model with a strong processor and a separate card (for CUDA) was what I was after. FreeDOS is already installed on the laptop. The laptop may have been able to withstand the fall due to the "looseness" of the case or the sturdy plastic it was made of. There are seven screws that hold the housing together: three on the side facing the operator and four on the side facing the display. Linux installer, you have my undying devotion because: We wiped out FreeDOS and replaced it with Ubuntu Desktop 202222. By the way, if you try to install after booting from a LiveUSB, you'll see a problem with the Nouveau driver right away. The screen suspension is always operational, even at full brightness. We tried installing new drivers, reinstalling the kernel, upgrading X.Org, and manually saving the brightness setting. But it hasn't led anywhere. Thus, I suggest the following procedure: After putting in place Ubuntu server 202222 and destroying the Nouveau driver, we layered the kde-plasma desktop environment on top, and the backlight began functioning properly. The final step is to apply NVIDIA's driver.

Pros
  • Processor power, nvme ssd, and room for 2.5. The memory card fit securely in its plastic casing, which survived a drop from a stool to the floor. Featuring a lighted keyboard.
Cons
  • The plastic is squeaking, and the power source hasn't been cut off from the thin cable. The USB type C connector is so flimsy that I had to separately purchase an adaptor. You'd better be a Type A person. This notebook is not Linux-compatible;
