Light weight Love the backlit keyboard Plenty of storage space Well packaged, like new


Light and easy to carry to school Enough horsepower to get homework done Not so expensive and precious to be unduly concerned about


1. Capable performer and great value for the money. 2. Very responsive customer service. 3. The keyboard has a great feel.

It has been very reliable and pretty snappy even as an inexpensive laptop

- its pretty compact, light, and has a hinge that helps ventilation. -nice and fast for what i need (art programs, maybe a game) -i love the light up keyboard.




The Ryzen 5 8640HS CPU is very powerful for the $400 price range, and is a 6 core/12 thread CPU with an itegrated Radeon 760M graphics processor that is more in line with a low-end dedicated card than what many think of as "integrated graphics" For intel fans, it would be more like the Arc graphics in a Core Ultra chip than the integrated intel graphics in earlier chips. I upgraded the system with an 8 GB DDR5-5600 RAM card to bring the system to a symmetrical 16 GB DDR5 RAM. Despite the listed specs on New Egg, it is DDR5-5600 RAM, not DDR4. The 8640HS is a Zen 4 chip. It was easier to open than a Dell Latitude to upgrade the RAM but it still takes patience to open the tabs. The build quality looks decent, especially for the price. I got it for travel, but it seems capable of light gaming too. It won't handle something demanding like Witcher III, Cyberpunk 2077, or Baulder's Gate III well, but Alien: Isolation and Subnautica seems to run well. Older less demanding games like Skyrim should too. Full disclosure, I am running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS testing the games, so "mileage may vary" on Windows 11. Fan will run higher gaming of course. I read 72-76 C while playing Alien Isolation wandering around the ship at the start. This Ryzen 5 has a max thermal throttle temperature of 100 C like it's intel counterparts, so that is actually fine. It's meant more as a media/work laptop, and for the the laptop has more than enough power.




Pretty lightweight, great price point, and enough ports for my college-aged daughter to do everything she needs to do at college. I put Bazzite on this one, integrated with nextcloud and she's had zero problems. It all just works, and works nicely.

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

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
