Pros
- Strict ascetic laptop for work - the best of what I found in an acceptable budget. As far as I can tell, Ubuntu 18.04 works out of the box without problems, and 16.04 is generally officially supported by the manufacturer. Price. A business-class laptop cost me 44k offline with Win10 Pro preinstalled. New 8250u quad-core processor with an extended TDP of 22W, which allows all cores to run at 2.66GHz for a long time. The cooling system is weak, but better than that of competitors - at least the blowing does not go into the screen hinge, but into a decent-sized hole. Built-in graphics allows you to play Starcraft2 at high settings (the laptop howls of course) Two memory slots and only one 8GB bar was occupied. Although the color gamut is truncated, the screen is matte IPS. Keyboard backlight. The drop sensor that parks the disk heads works at the "BIOS" level, i. E. unlike Thinkpad, firewood is not needed. Pah-pah iron everything works stably like a rock, although I haven’t checked some of its parts, such as USB-C, and it’s unlikely when I check
Cons
- Cheap plastic case. Complete lack of indication of sleep-waiting mode. The battery behaves buggy, but the actual capacity is equal to the declared one. The touchpad works equally imperfectly both in Windows and in Linux. IMHO, a large laptop for 14 inches - but maybe it's durable? HDD can be put only 7mm, although the laptop does not look small. the main M.2 slot is SATA only. There is also a PCI-E M.2 slot, but it is not clear what it is for. Downvolting did not bring happiness. I could not install Windows7 (well, the dog is with her).
