Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

When I bought it I was very upset by the nasty whistle of the power chokes. Kapets thought, I'll have to take it back. But the problem was solved by installing the latest drivers! Also Wi-Fi was slow and often disconnected. Drivers fixed it too. And the kosyachny Lenovo Vantage did not see the ate. I went to the site myself and installed from there. For me, this laptop has become a Macbook Pro replacement for Windows development. I am delighted with the model. The workhorse is excellent: powerful, quiet, compact, beautiful, with a long battery. What else to dream about? )

Pros
  • - Incredible screen! 120 Hz will not be noticed only by the blind. The smoothness of animations, scrolling, effects is delightful. Brightness judging by the tests of reviewers 375 nits! Quality like Macbook Air M1. I never even set it to full. On the old laptop, 250 nits was already enough. No dead pixels found. Color rendition is excellent. White color is really white, without warps. Windows has an analogue of True Tone, which changes the temperature and brightness depending on the lighting - turn it off! And then at first I puzzled over why the screen starts to show strangely. Also, Windows has its own Pro Motion, so there are as many hertz as necessary and the extra ones do not eat the battery. - The case is very stylish, pleasant minimalism, rigor. Looks noble. Only fingerprints are great visible, but to do - metal. - In general, uncompromising power for years to come. At the same time, the fans are turned off almost all the time, silence and a cold case. In benchmarks, the 5800H is only slightly behind the M1 Pro/Max, but well ahead of the regular M1. - Very comfortable full keyboard. Low soft pleasant keystroke. Special thanks for the dedicated media control buttons. It was very convenient to turn on and turn off the F group with highlights in Esc. 2 levels of illumination. - Type-C charging is the bomb! You can buy one Gan charger and use for laptop, tablet, phone and headphones. Dream for travelers. - Battery capacity is above average in the Windows world. I have enough for a full 5 hours of work. The last laptop based on i5-1135g7 worked only 2 hours. - Easy. I was specifically looking for without a video card. I don’t need anything for work, but a pound of weight savings. - SSD is good! More than > 3200 MB / s for reading and writing issues CrystalDiskMark. - The touchpad is good! Pleasant, big. And the new gestures in Windows are very handy. The hand does not reach the mouse at all. - Windows Hello is cool technology. It's like FaceID on a laptop. When you open the cover, the infrared camera finds you even in the dark and unlocks the system, and when you move away, it blocks itself.
Cons
  • - I would like more RAM. The video card eats 2 GB, but in the BIOS you can reduce its appetites to 0.5 GB. I turned it down right away. - I really wanted to find one without a Windows license. Here it is sewn and activated automatically. Installing Pro is problematic even with a license key. Tried, but scored after a couple of attempts. Home single language is enough. - The Lenovo Vantage messing software does not work well in Windows 11 and does not see the latest driver ates. I had to install it myself. And it solves serious problems! - The sound is weak. In a quiet room, I watch YouTube at 80% volume. But at maximum volume there are no wheezing and distortion. In principle, if you live with headphones on your head, then this is not a problem.
