Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is the most common, it could be worse.

To be honest, I wasn't overly dissatisfied; nonetheless, I had hoped for a more serious offering. If you're looking to set up Linux, I wouldn't recommend using Debian stable because the system's current kernel is too outdated to recognize even half of the hardware. Mint has no audio. Only Ubuntu 20.04 would normally be awarded. Destroying the xorg-video-intel driver is essential for smooth video and 3D rendering, as it is an out-of-date third-party package and Xorg now includes its own internal video driver.

Pros
  • The laptop is tiny and light. Looks good from a distance. Excellent value for the price: a Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM will set you back only 64000r in January 2022.
Cons
  • The worst part is the short battery life. It takes around an hour to fully charge and seat the battery. A typical web video will keep you occupied for a few hours. The lack of a dedicated graphics processor surprised me because I thought it would improve battery life. Quality of construction secondly. For 64,000 Rubles, I hoped for more. The entire keyboard is made of plastic, and the user presses down the middle to type. Third, the keyboard has some odd issues: it doesn't work for a bit after you turn it on or when you close/open the lid, and then it works normally. Perhaps my laptop has a malfunction. The new Intel hardware has several issues that make installing an operating system a bit of an ordeal, which isn't exactly a con.
