Revainrating 4 out of 5

Practical product, nothing to complain about.

I took it to work in web design, I needed portability and performance for minimal money. Proc smart ryzen 3 4300u, built-in ssd from samsung seems to be fast too, but the screen is completely useless, I had to immediately buy an external monitor, which I do not regret. As a result, I work on 4 gigabytes of RAM in a figma with an external monitor connected and I can work, although not very comfortable. This is a good buy if the price tag is around 30-32, it is not worth more money. Unfortunately, today all manufacturers are breaking prices above reasonable prices, so it’s better to have a laptop with a little bu on ebay, with a check and the rest of the guarantee.

Pros
  • Cheap (I took a promotion for 32tr in February 2022) for a complete set of ryzen 3, 4gb, ssd120. A good keyboard compared to HP and ASUS, perhaps the best in its segment. Performance with the proviso of upgrading the operatives, you can use it on 4gig, but sometimes something crashes and the pages in the browser are reloaded. When I decided to buy, there was no information anywhere about support for AMD external 4K monitors with a frequency of 60Hz. I have a Ryzen 3 4300 on my laptop and it supports 60Hz on an external 4K monitor with built-in video - this is a plus!
Cons
  • The screen, yes it is FHD and IPS, but there is no color reproduction, there are no red and green colors, instead of them it is red and marsh. Compare with external monitor LG 4K IPS. Few ports, no RJ-45 network card, no Type-C. There is only HDMI and USB3 - everything and this is clearly not enough. 03/22/2022 I was not too lazy to make a comparison with an external monitor to show how bad the color reproduction is, although it is visible to the naked eye, but in comparison the difference is simply enormous! Instead of red - red, instead of green - brown, instead of magenta - purple, instead of blue - just dirty, although it is not visible in the photo. In general, the screen is green. In addition, I realized that the maximum brightness is not enough for comfortable work with lighting from the window on a cloudy day, I have to take a closer look, because. the contrast is very low. I am writing this review on the laptop screen and I feel my eyes strain due to the low brightness and low contrast. I also realized that FullHD resolution for 13 inches is a lot, at the maximum resolution everything is too small, you have to scale it up to 150% in the system settings, but then the meaning of FulHD is lost, which is more suitable for a 15-inch diagonal. Now I think that it would be better if I took 15 shku.

Different pros: Pretty good laptop for the money. The small size is a plus for me. Holds a charge for a long time. Cons below: Not the brightest screen
