I come from a Macbook Pro and this is my first Windows device in 7 years (thank you Lenovo for enticing me to change). Everything about the laptop regarding performance, screen quality, gaming, is phenomenal. I have the RTX 2060 with 1TB nvme. Improvements can be made in the battery life, speaker quality (kinda distorts the voice specifically when listening to podcasts), and maybe the keyboard (macro keys are not very useful for me but you get used to them pretty easily). A negative point for me is the trackpad, especially coming from a Macbook. I am definitely needing a mouse but I need to find something interesting for this laptop and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any enticing options from Lenovo (for me).
The price to performance ratio of this computer is pretty great. It is very fast, minimal bloatware, and a solid/sturdy build. The keyboard is 9/10 with the only downside being it is slightly off-center (still much better than a num-pad setup).
The only minor cons of this system are a lack of SD card reader (for a machine that may be used for productivity, this is a bummer oversight), and the weight. It is a bit on the chunky/heavy side, but the tradeoff for the solid performance is worth it in my opinion.
Amazing laptop, don't understand the complaints I've seen in the reviews as it has been working perfectly for me and doesn't overheat at all even when running games at max settings. I got the RTX 2070 model and it runs way better than I thought it t would
Great build quality and very solid performance from this laptop. RGB keyboard looks amazing. Love the understated design of this laptop! Chews through any games you throw at it
Good workstation but horrible benchmark score on gaming/video. Says “extremely underperforming” with a 50% graph, on a 2060 GTX?! Expected much higher. Also, very loud fans. You cannot play games in the same room with someone else without driving them insane. Even with a 2060 gtx card, would not recommend for gaming. Stick with a PC for games.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
