Terrible keyboard
No ports
Made of cheap plastic
Bad hinge design
No upgradability/repairability

Lenovo is the king of cheap crap

Edgar Ramirez is a stupid bot.

Is there a way to contact you to ask for a laptop suggestion?

No, there is no way, coz he's just an IA. I mean it's AI.

And of course, I forgot to add that again these stupid Esc, F1..F12 buttons narrowed in height. Lenovo feels sorry for the plastic for the full-height buttons? But this significantly reduces the comfort of intensive work typing and a bunch of key combinations.

Can such a model be called ideal for work? Definitely not.

And Lenovo should already start offering 17-18" similar models with 4k@120Hz IPS 16:10 and 1500:1+, with an improved keyboard (for 18" all keys should be the same width/height as desktop ones), as suggested above. They will undoubtedly be very popular with an adequate price and internal upgrade capabilities and a normal location and set of ports. Moreover, you should make a series where the overall strength of the case is not so important - but what is important is silence under constant load in the background up to 30-35%. Weight is also not important for 17-18" models, the main thing is silence and maximum performance.

When manufacturers realize that frequently carrying laptops on the street and on business trips for such diagonals is not their main strong point, but what is most important is a larger screen with excellent contrast and response and an ideal keyboard with long key travel and elastic tactile feedback.

We don't need a glossy, constantly glare and wildly flickering AMOLED with a low resource and worse color resolution than IPS, as the only option in 4k!

Also, if Lenovo is really against the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it should integrate the Ukrainian flag on top of the body (on the body and screen frame) on all models with a Russian keyboard. This will annoy the bad Russians, and they are the majority. Now in their press they write that greedy and greedy Western companies (like Bosch and a bunch of others) began to deliberately promote Ukrainian models of equipment on the Russian market - so there is no problem if there is an indelible Ukrainian flag on the body everywhere and then let the Russians do it buy. And the flag is in their hands! If all the immoral Western companies did this for russified equipment back in March 2022, it would show real support for Ukraine, and not their deceitful public demagoguery.

Quote from: NikoB on May 28, 2024, 21:44:10I wonder why Lenovo is doing the redneck thing with 1 USB40 port, instead of bringing two to the case according to the Zen4 Phoenix specification? Or is there some kind of "problem" again, as with the shameful downgrade of RAM to 6400, although AMD claims support for 7500?

Again, the fhd screen is very depressing in 2024 - there is no choice of 4k IPS with 1500:1+ and a real response time no more than 6-7 ms on g2g/b2w. Text in the Chrome (and other Chromium-based code) is always cloudy due to incorrect grayscale text smoothing caused by Google. To eliminate this problem at 16" you need a ppi of at least 220-230. Or better yet, 300+. Which, again, only a 4k panel can provide. And in general, the overall pixelation of the text will be clearly visible in any program with such a low ppi. Is it possible to call such a screen - high-quality for an employee who spends hours working with text and graphics? I doubt it. Anything below 4k in 2024 for working/surfing should immediately cause a loss of -20 points in the overall results.

For such a wild price for a completely ordinary and already outdated config, it should have 64GB of RAM and 4TB SSD from the factory.

I don't like that temperatures are measured at 21-22C, this is abnormal and not comfortable for home. Typical temperature is 24-25C. It is at this room temperature that operating temperatures should be measured, and they will undoubtedly increase significantly. This means there is no value in the data in the temperature review.

Again, I'm already tired of the fact that the authors of all reviews on NB stupidly write about the presence of an HDMI2.1 port, although any version can be hidden under it nameplate courtesy of scammers from the HDMI consortium. It is necessary to check support for FRL6 mode and if it is not there, the port cannot be called 2.1. Because the majority of naive consumers in the world believe that the 2.1 nameplate means 48Gbps, but here there is probably no sign of it.

Well, again, I'll point out that using such a laptop while lying on sofas and beds, reclining, resting with full performance from the power supply for right-handed people will be a problem - the USB-C power plug sticks out perpendicular to the case in this series and is easily broken by feet.

RJ45 with antique 1Gbps 25 years ago is a disgrace. There should be at least 5Gbps in 2024.

Overall, the result is a rather mediocre laptop, which can only be of interest at a price of around 900-1000 euros. If purchasing managers are not corrupt and do not receive kickbacks in large companies from sellers/Lenovo, it is unlikely that an adequate purchasing manager will agree to spend so much money on a model that is obviously outdated in performance and extremely limited in upgrades.

Hey NikoB,
I've seen many of your great reviews of reviews.
What would you recommend then? Is there a way to contact you to ask for a laptop suggestion?

This laptop is quite good.  It's actually pretty light for a 16" laptop.  You can spec it with a 4K display even.  We got it for one of our employees last year as a desktop replacement and I didn't hear any complaints from him.

Die.

It is a good product but its price of €1899 seems excessively expensive to me since it uses Zen 4 Series 7000.
And we must remind future buyers that AMD already has the Zen 4 Series 8000 hawk point on the market and is having a resounding success, such as the MINISFORUM V3 product with almost 1 million units sold in just 2 months, a success on YouTube and social networks. of professional computing.
