Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Of course, the laptop is not designed to run games on it, but still my curiosity ate everything, and I decided to test a couple of not very demanding gaming projects. Night In The Woods (NITW) - 60 fps at a resolution of 1280x720 with drawdowns up to 50 and temperatures up to 55-60 degrees. In the standard 1920x1080, it starts to lag terribly, the GPU load indicator will rest at 100%, Minecraft - 50-60 fps, low preset, depending on the load of the client with mods or the severity of a particular map, the temperature is kept within 55-65; Terraria - 60 fps at 1600x900. I just came across it, weighed more than 200 mb, and decided to test it. Why not? :D Naturally, the load is not large, and as a result, the temperature does not rise above 55. The idle temperature in the laptop is 40 - 45 degrees (depending on the mode of use, and on the load with tasks). In general, this is a fairly good, and, in my opinion, powerful laptop that copes well with my tasks, if you do not take into account the fact that you have to take care of it much more often and, in general, treat it as carefully as possible. . well, you understand yourself, a shiny lid with concentric circles, everything is beautiful, fine, elegant, and generally a song, if not for the fact that small unpleasant scratches will appear, which, accordingly, will disfigure the aesthetics of the laptop. And. And also pay attention to the amount of memory. Now it will seem to you that 240GB SSD is enough for your eyes, in fact, when you start installing all the software you need, you will have to additionally carry an external hard drive with you, and more a couple of flash drives, well, connect cloud storage HD

Pros
  • Compact, lightweight, nice design, comfortable keyboard (+ its multi-level backlighting) and the location of the keys on it (including the location of the delete key. For some reason, I have no problems interacting with this button, although they say that it is located too close to the power key), a beautiful screen with rich colors and anti-reflective coating (which does not always save, of course, but in general it will do :D ), a properly working fingerprint sensor, loud speakers with fairly good sound quality for this kind of device, good battery life work (for example, for today, the laptop worked from 11:55 until 18:47 until it was completely discharged with interruptions). On average, it will keep from 5-6 hours, up to 7-8 with a small tail (again, it all depends on the mode of use). The tasks were basically as follows: watching videos on Youtube, surfing the Internet, working with documents, reading pdf and djvu books, drawing on a graphics tablet in Adobe Photoshop CC 2022 and CLIP STUDIO PAINT EX, working with a project in FL Studio 12.3. All these tasks were performed at 90% brightness, with the keyboard backlight turned off, and with the "Improved Battery" mode. Scaling in the OS did not change. Despite the fact that I have a model with intel i3-7100u, 8gb ram, 240gb ssd JMicron and integrated graphics chip Intel 620 HD Graphics, I am quite satisfied with the speed and performance of the device (of course, before reinstalling WIndows 10, the previous system ated to 1803 was slow).
Cons
  • When buying, be sure to pay attention to the assembly, and especially to how the screen matrix is ​​installed. Previously, this has already been noticed by someone, and I’ll probably also hint at this topic, because. in my case, the matrix recedes from the right border of the screen by 2 mm (everything is in order from the top, bottom, and left borders). For me, this is not particularly critical (although it's a shame, of course), but for some it may seem ugly. Case. It gets dirty instantly (and it doesn't matter what color you chose a laptop. On a glossy lid, they will still be noticeable). Especially if your hands sweat while working. I’m generally silent about the touchpad, it collects fingerprints, which is why it’s sometimes not pleasant to use it later (also, sometimes it can freeze and work incorrectly, which rarely happens). In less than a week, the laptop lid will begin to collect small scratches that have come from nowhere (and you should not attribute this to my negligence, because the laptop was in a new case, after each session, I cleaned it there, first wiping it with a cloth (which came in complete ~) the whole body from its traces)). In general, glossy laptops with glass on the lid are evil: D Despite (as for me) very good performance with such "meager" characteristics, the laptop does not always pull out work in FL Studio 12.3, or Ableton Live 9 Suite (I would say, a solid 4-ku). So far, I have not tried it in video editing, and anything else like that . Of course, with a high load on the CPU, the temperature reaches up to 66-70 degrees, and accordingly you will hear how the laptop gradually turns into a quadcopter. Scaling. This is a headache for all 13.3 inch displays, unless you're a MacOS user. And since this is a laptop on Windows, for more or less good scaling of elements on the screen, ate to 1803 service pack, otherwise you will enjoy soapy text on previous versions of the OS.
