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 without tears in the literal sense - your eyes flow from a terrible picture. In the photo, for example, HP Elitebook g860, costing 2 times cheaper than Lenovo. The photo does not convey the whole problem, but live it looks terrible. I mainly use a monitor, but for demos and chats you need a laptop screen, in this laptop using the screen is a complete disappointment. By the way, I am writing a review with HP, because it is easier for the eyes here. The backlighting of the keyboard is nominally, in fact it does not really shine. The swapped fn and ctrl buttons interfere, I'm not used to their work. You can reassign them in the BIOS in places, but the engraving on the buttons cannot be reassigned :) Also, the operation of the function buttons is not very pleasant. For example, if fn-buttons are given priority, i. E. you can control the volume by pressing only the f3 button, then to close the program you need to press alt + fn + f4, it does not always work, i. E. almost never. Everything seems to be logical, but on HP you can get by with the alt + f4 combination, despite the same priority of the fn-buttons. Mark Corps. Doesn't float very much, but picks up traces very quickly. Actually, like dust. There is 1 USB connector on each side, how to connect an external hard drive that needs 2 USB ports for power (they are soldered together and short) - I have not figured it out yet. Harman's sound, everything is fine, but it comes from below, even banal videos from YouTube are difficult to make out at high volume, besides, there is some kind of clanging. Bluetooth is weak (this is the problem of all the laptops that I had), the sound is interrupted from the next room, I tried different JBL and AirPods / Pro

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)
