  • QuestionIs this laptop ideal for film students, for editing etc.

    Asked by Keni.

    • Answer Hey Keni, Due to the laptop's entry level processing capabilities, it wouldn't be necessarily ideal for film editing. This is because editing software typically demands more in the way of processing speed and memory to run its tasks quickly and simultaneously. We recommend considering a system with a higher tier processor, a Core 5 or i5, along with more memory or RAM (12 or 16GB would be great) for more optimal performance and quicker video project compilation and exporting. This can also vary if the software you wish to use for editing is AI or cloud based, as this can dictate the system requirements that would be best for your use now and in the future.

  • QuestionAny idea if this would work well for Auto CAD 2D floor plans and kitchen renderings?

    Asked by anna.

    • Answer Hey anna, Based on the system requirements for AutoCAD and the use case you proposed, this system may struggle with running the software and finalizing projects due to its amount of memory and processing speed. CAD platforms generally recommend Intel Core (i)5 or higher processors with at least 16GB of memory to keep up the processing demands of the software. Also, systems with elevated graphics experience can further bolster the experience. If you may wish to decide against a more premium system to meet your needs like the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 laptops at Best Buy, please consider something similar like the following IdeaPad that's currently offered on Best Buy's site here: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lenovo-ideapad-1i-15-6-full-hd-touchscreen-laptop-intel-core-i5-1334u-16gb-memory-512gb-ssd-abyss-blue/JJGSHX7VVK Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

  • Questionwhat is the s mode

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hey, S mode is a more secure, lighter version of the Windows 11 Operating System that only allows the downloading of applications from the Microsoft Store. If you try to launch or install an executable or .exe file, the system prevents it. Should you desire to switch to Windows 11 Home, here is a link to a Microsoft webpage that shares how to do so: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-and-windows-11-in-s-mode-faq-851057d6-1ee9-b9e5-c30b-93baebeebc85 | Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

  • QuestionI read that the unit will need 40gb of UFS for windows software. Will the computer's speed and responsiveness be adequate with only 80+ Gb available on the UFS? Or do I need to upgrade to a larger SSD?

    Asked by mac.

    • Answer Hey mac, Based on user reviews, the system's responsiveness shouldn't be impacted too much so long as there's around 10-15GB of free storage space to use. Since the UFS storage is on the systemboard and this IdeaPad has no other storage slots, internal storage cannot be upgraded. Although, you could use an external drive or SD card to free up local storage. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
