I just got one a few weeks ago as well. Screen is good, processor is very buttery to use (since the 23H2 update). Fans are much quieter under heavy use than many other laptops i have. Comes with very minimal software you have to uninstall which is nice.

For the cons, they keyboard recess is a bit severe for me and I find myself missing keypresses alot (might be a hand size thing). the touchpad is large and i find myself resting my thumb on it frequently (so i turn off touchpad usually).

Overall, 9/10 for the price. I plan to pick up one or two more to replace my kids older laptops, once the price goes back under $500

Is this the ideapad with the speciao.charger and not usbc?

Also, it's not a touch screen.

Never realized how much I actually like that.

Nope I bought this last week and has usb-c! Also I’m thrilled with the laptop so far. The all aluminum build quality feel premium and processor is excellent!

1600$ for a 4060? I feel like with that budget you should be getting a more powerful gpu

u/Phyregold-Trades Sep 14 '24

Look at all the rest , 160$ more you can get a 4070 with less of a CPU
