Overall good, but I expected more, there are disadvantages.

Disappointment of the year! I was looking for a "Macbook among Windows laptops", they advised me to look at Lenovo, a company that is known as a manufacturer of mediocre smartphones and tablets. But this series of laptops is used in many corporations, so I decided to take it. The top model is Intel Core i7 + SSD (1024 + 256 GB) + RAM 32 GB. Everything flies, and to be more precise, browser tabs open quickly :) But all the joy goes away as soon as you look at the screen. You can’t look at him…

Pros
  • Characteristics, everything flies Ease of disassembly The weight
Cons
  • The screen is dim, sometimes the brightness jumps, dims before our eyes, then comes back. Win10, license, all ates are there. Marked body - not critical Few USB ports Weak keyboard backlight - not critical The fn button is in the wrong place - already used to it Bad fn key settings - almost used to it Sound quality - almost used Weak microphone(s) - bought a headset Weak Bluetooth Periodically does not wake up from hibernation, loses state, turns on from scratch, as if I had previously pressed "Shut down" Periodically loses the second SSD (which was installed in a free unsoldered slot)

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

A little backstory. I develop websites and write code. In addition to good performance, the main requirements for a laptop were a comfortable and reliable keyboard and the ability to work offline when the lights go out at home. My previous laptop Dell Inspirion 5368 ran for 40 minutes on battery and two of its keyboards had already broken. I chose between the line of Dell Latitude and Lenovo Thinkpad. The Latitude was repulsed by the fact that the keyboard there is the same as I broke, at least

Pros
  • In general, I liked the device, the materials are good, high-quality, good assembly. The keyboard is generally beyond praise, comfortable key travel, soft and elastic pressing. If you get used to it, you can use the trackpoint in some situations, it is more convenient, but of course it requires conscious getting used to. Good performance. I thought my Dell Inspirion 5368 with 8Gb of RAM suits me, but now I sit down at it and it seems that it slows down. Normal battery life. Not a record, of course, but for 4-5 hours of full-fledged work is enough.
Cons
  • First of all, I would like to note the screen. And here it's not about brightness or color reproduction, everything is on the level and does not cause discomfort even when working with graphics (I develop websites and get layouts from the designer in Photoshop). The point is PWM, sometimes flickering is directly noticeable to the naked eye, for example, on a dark screen and with dimmed brightness, it is very uncomfortable to work in this mode. At a brightness of 80-100%, you don’t notice this and everything is in order. There is an even less annoying moment, but nonetheless. When running on battery power in battery saver mode and Improved Battery, the laptop reduces the color and brightness of the display to reduce power consumption, which is generally not bad, but at some random moments it sometimes temporarily returns it to its previous level, and this is sometimes noticeable. Hopefully this will be fixed with driver ates regarding the new Intel Iris XE Graphics. Further, rather than shortcomings, just personal inconvenience when moving from Dell Inspirion. The absence of an automatic mode for the keyboard backlight, you can not set it, it automatically turned on when using the keyboard. The card reader is missing. Of course, this is solved externally for 300, but it's still somewhat inconvenient. Well, of course, I would like one more USB port in this case, so that you do not have to turn off the mouse. Under load, it heats up to the left of the touchpad, under the left palm. Not critical at all, but I don't really like it. You get used to the non-standard location of Fn-Ctrl, and not Ctrl-Fn, in another week of use.

I bought modification 20TA0027RT - the cheapest configuration among those that come with an Intel i5-1135G7 processor, without Windows installed. Do not be afraid of models without an operating system: Windows 10 downloads ates and installs 100% of the drivers itself with Lenovo's proprietary package, which goes like "lenovo system ate" or "system firmware". There are no dances with the search and installation of branded applications in the correct sequence. An important difference between…

Pros
  • Expandable (unsoldered) RAM, two SSD slots, fast charging, physical shutter on the webcam, comfortable and quiet keyboard, sturdy (feels like) case, Thunderbolt 4 (only in the version with an Intel processor), good driver support from the manufacturer .
Cons
  • Extremely easily soiled case - every touch leaves an imprint. Poor screen color reproduction (45% NTSC or 63% sRGB, matrix B140HAN04.0 from AUO). Weak microphone: with the default settings, the sound is barely audible, and after dancing with the Windows settings, it is caught more or less tolerably, but it is still desirable to speak loudly and lean towards the screen. For comparison, a Logitech webcam quietly picks up a conversation from the opposite corner of the room.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Great model! Suits everyone! Pros: -Proc. Ryzen 7 4700U, 7nm - very fast! (See comparative tests) at this price, intel pays. -On board SSD NVMe WD 512 GB, read speed 1.9 GB / s, write 1.5 GB / s (when filling 50% of the total volume, it was faster on an empty one) -The memory is soldered to a 8GB 3200MHz board, it is possible to add it to a free slot. - FHD screen, 14 size, not small not big, operate conveniently. -Metal case and lid and bottom of the laptop. Convenient hook on the bottom, easy

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Configuration number 20TA002JRT on the notebook. Got pros: Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor, which is the most recent model available as of January 2022. The UEFI BIOS should include the capability to increase the amount of memory that is set aside for the integrated video card. During regular operation (we did not test the system with any games), the fan is completely unnoticeable and silent (configuration 20TA002JRT; the system does not have a hard drive). The wifi started working immediately…

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

In general, the laptop is normal. SSD increased to 1 TB and memory to 32 GB, while everything works fine. Pros: Good laptop for your money. I haven't found a cheaper one in the same configuration. Most importantly, there is support for 2 M.2 drives and the ability to upgrade memory up to 32 GB (as I understand it, these are architecture limitations). I took it with an integrated NVIDIA GeForce MX450 video card, as a result, if you don’t play, you don’t need it. Got cons: Single-channel memory…
