A:AnswerI think it would be. Fairly zippy speed-wise and good sized very clear display. Although it doesn't directly support my external USB-C display, I use the USB-C port to power and a HDMI to mini-HDMI cable to use the external/secondary monitor. You may be able to connect some sort of docking station if you need more than that (check specifications before going that route).

A:AnswerHey Maya,
Based on user reviews, the high heat production and fan noise are not frequently reported; although, based on the word choice of your question, any device being pressed to its limitations of the specifications, there will be more heat produced and higher fan speeds to help keep the system cool and protected.

A:AnswerHello,
The memory should be to be upgraded. With this IdeaPad 1i featuring 8GB soldered DDR4-3200 memory with 8GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200 installed in the SO-DIMM slot, you could swap out the 8GB SO-DIMM memory for 16GB. Although, for disclosure, 16GB of memory is the maximum amount of memory used in product testing since this test is based on current Lenovo memory offerings.
