I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

Windows ran slowly right after I opened the package, but that soon went away. High performance mode confused me because it caused the computer to overheat and produce more noise while doing the same job as in normal mode. I fired up a few of games; generally speaking, the display is the same as in the YouTube testing; nonetheless, the laptop gets very hot and produces a lot of noise; however, I didn't purchase it for its gaming capabilities; rather, I purchased it for its portability and ease of use in the workplace. Opening the project in Visual Studio (using a numpad purchased from notik. Ru) takes around 30 seconds. In most cases, I do not believe that it costs a hundred thousand dollars; rather, I think that shoppers would be better served by increasing their budget to consider more expensive models or decreasing it to select a laptop that is not quite as fast but is more productive and reliable. (Unless you're only considering it because of its portability; in that case, maybe everything is OK and the battery is fine too.)

Pros
  • An admirable percentage, really. Absolutely gorgeous display. Excellent keyboard. So far, the assembly has been flawless; all of the parts are of excellent quality (*spit*).
Cons
  • One USB hub (this is not a problem because bluetooth and a splitter may be used to accommodate several devices). The Type-C port itself isn't very stable; I noticed some shakiness after jiggling the cord a few times. I should add that there is a high-frequency squeak that can be heard when charging when the device is in sleep/off mode (not everyone in the family can hear it, but my ears seem to be more attuned to it). In addition, I've found that sometimes in the off/sleep mode, the laptop charges above the specified mark, despite the artificial battery charging limiting (which may be modified in the laptop settings to 100.80 and 60% to reduce battery wear) being activated. As I had predicted in my writing, there were indeed issues with wireless Internet. I'm not sure if this happens to everyone or if it's even possible on Windows, but my Wi-Fi symbol occasionally vanishes. It just starts showing up after 5 minutes, but it's still pretty unpleasant. The disappearance of the "WI-FI" button in the network settings and online suggests a chip malfunction, and restarting the network adapter makes the Internet fly for a while before it seems to stall again, leading me to believe that the problem lies precisely in the chip of the new gene (i7 11g).
