Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

Optimally stocked and extensible. One of my ssds is a standard 256 GB NVMe drive from Samsung (there are more ssds in the shot, but they aren't mine), and 8 GB of DDR4 3200 (also made by Samsung) is soldered directly onto the board. There is an open memory slot protected by a metallic grill (additionally glued to the memory slot, you need to heat it with a hairdryer to open it - in this case it will simply open). In addition, I added a 16 GB Kingston Fury module, bringing the total RAM to 24 GB. Certain videos shot in Sata format may mislead you into thinking that the 2022 versions' second disk is 2.5 Sata when in fact it's M2. Because the battery was relocated to make way for the second M2 connector, a 2.5-inch drive cannot be installed because there is insufficient room and no fasteners with an appropriate cable. When working from a network, the laptop's fan automatically switches to silent mode (normal mode), making silent work in text editors a reality. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop both run quickly enough to be used. The atmosphere is friendly, and the pace of work is quick and efficient. The battery isn't the best we've seen, and if it had at least 54 WH more juice, I'd be set for the workday. Since it only has 45 WH, its useful life is shorter. The BOE matrix used in the screen makes it far more luminous than the LG displays commonly found in Lenovo laptops. Taking out 70% of the light left the room with a comfortable margin. You need to lower the contrast a bit. Juicy hues can be expected from a matrix with 100% RGB coverage, which is unusual for modern Lenovo laptops (60% sRGB coverage is typical for identical LG matrices). To put it simply, a fully functional laptop.

Pros
  • Superb in appearance and strength Rapid NVMe SSD Screen protector made of metal (bottom and body - plastic) Inviting backlit keyboard with FN key operation selection and a dedicated RJ45 network jack There are sufficient USB ports. The Type C port allows for use of any 65W TypeC PD charger from a third party: No need to lug about your Energea or Baseus anymore; you may leave it at home or at the office. Excellent IPS display, delivering a full sRGB color gamut at a comfortable level of brightness. Expansion possibilities that are both viable and attractive The preloaded Windows 10 Pro version has a serial number that is permanently affixed to the motherboard's BIOS. Quiet
Cons
  • Because of the wagon-like shape of the inside, the battery compartment, the manufacturer could have simply put a more robust battery. I'd want a more robust chassis design.
