So much fun! Handles graphics very well with the NVidia 5050. The display is beautiful. Laptop super quiet. Completely silent during regular work and the airflow is done so well that the fans are still very quiet under load. Dont even notice them.

Price, availability and performance. Bought to study and create. Battery life excellent. Size and performance are above and beyond laptops costing 2x to 3x. Video card provides great resolution.


-Long battery life 5+ hours with conservative power settings -fast and responsive, handles multi-tasking well, great for school

The power and speed.




Here is what works in Linux Mint (22.3) Zena: * WiFi * Suspend and resume * USB HDD mounting and reformatting. * X Window System * Sound * Most of the Fn keys * Trackpad






Refurbished Lenovo and arrived in pretty good shape. Daughter uses for school and seems to be working just fine.



There is an issue with the Newegg listing: it says the screen is FHD+, but it actually is QHD+ with a 240 Hz refresh rate, which is good overall. However, you need to upgrade the RAM from 2×8 GB to 2×16 GB or higher, and add one more SSD (there is only one extra slot available for an additional SSD).
