[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lenovo ideapad is a an over all wonderful experience. What is keeping me away from giving it a 5 star rating are the cons.
Pros- 120 hz display, amazing keyboard, powerful gpu, quiet fans, and a backlit keyboard
Cons- battery life not optimal, ram 8 gb, and 1080p display
While the pros outweigh the cons some may be tempted to avoid a product like this but rest assured that you will be getting your moneys worth as it is an amazing laptop.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Computer works really well but seems to get a bit hot after an hour or so when playing games even with the fans running.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest I was about ready to throw in the towel on Lenovo. Previously I have always built my machines but this time around I wanted a laptop, and this machine was exactly what I was looking for. The first unit arrived quickly and unfortunately was dead on arrival. The replacement unit also arrived fast and in the middle of upgrades provided me a blue screen of death that could not be repaired instantly. Within a click away of asking for a complete and total refund I contacted support and was provided a recovery disk and began restoring the machine to its original state. Whatever happened before, did not happen again and I have been using this for a few weeks now. Very happy customer and looking forward to building a relationship with Lenovo.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm able to daily drive Linux with absolutely zero issues. I can make full use of my GPU, multiple displays and hardware features without and problem. I am even to stream using OBS and get everything I'd expect from streaming on Windows.
I also dual boot Windows. The time it takes to reboot is roughly 10-15 seconds. I am able to play heavy games such as Valorant and Phasmophobia with no lag. Updating the computer and it's drivers did not prove to be an issue.
Overall, 10/10 experience and am actively recommending it to friends in need.
