Good day to all! I purchased this unit 5 days ago and decided to share my impressions. I personally could not find almost any reviews before the purchase, so I will try to help future buyers.
So,
body . Apparently, it is really made of plastic, but the coating feels metallic. I don’t know, is this some kind of spraying or paint, but it feels cool. The assembly claims only to the touchpad - when pressed in a certain place, the upper right corner goes out of its place a little, it rises by a millimeter by 1-2. Not critical, but unpleasant. Otherwise, there are no problems - there are no gaps anywhere, the body rigidity is good. By the way, lifting the lid is quite difficult. Firstly, due to the fact that there is nowhere to pry it, and secondly, because of the tight joint. Of the indicators, only a nice white strip in the front in the middle is responsible only for the indication of charging.
Screen from the sky of stars is not enough, of course. TN matrix. The viewing angles are horizontally wide, but vertically so-so. However, nothing surprising. I heard that the screen is dim, but I did not think so. Of course, in winter it will not be possible to check it in the bright sun, but in an artificial light room, the brightness is sufficient with a margin. The minimum does not hit the eyes in the dark - also a plus sign.
Keyboard and touchpad. Here I was pleasantly surprised, because the arrived model was backlit - nice. You can see the configuration of the keys in the photo yourself. I can only say that the keys are soft, typing is very comfortable. It is also worth noting that a number of F-keys by default works as multimedia, and actually "efki" through a combination with Fn. BUT, if you do not like this option, you can return the usual scheme with a combination of Fn + Esc. The backlight has 3 brightness levels - 0, 50, 100 - although I don’t see much difference between 50 and 100%.
The touchpad is large, comfortable, supports all standard multitouch gestures windows. If it were not for the above jamb - it would be generally perfect.
Also worth noting is the presence of a fingerprint sensor. How to evaluate them - without a clue - had never been used before. The finger recognizes without problems the first time, and more of it is not required.
Performance . At first, the constant lags were very disappointing, but after all the updates, surprisingly, it became much better. So far, I haven’t gotten to the tests (including gaming), but it feels like the speed of work in the office mode (browser with ~ 20 tabs, a couple of documents, music and software installation) is quite high. The weak point, of course, is the hard drive - if possible, I will install an SSD. For those who are already going to upgrade this laptop - note that the standard
NVMe is not supported. Information about this is on the official forum.
On this, perhaps, for now. As soon as I conduct the tests and, in principle, I will get acquainted with the device a little closer, I will unsubscribe here. If you have any questions, write, I will try to answer all.
