GOOD for the price BUT.....
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this laptop for a week and so far this thing is pretty good. It is light compared to other laptop at 5 pounds. Since, the screen has small bezel, the laptop has smaller footprint. Screen : The screen is good compared to my brother's Dell G7. The brightness is around 255 nits which is higher than the G7. It is fairly sharper display. It is good enough for gaming.And, it does look good because of smaller bezel of the display. Hard Drive: It has 7200rpm hard drive which is very slower compared to normal SSD. If you are custom to ssd speed, you would absolutely hate the first day of this laptop. The windows update took literally 5 hours to download and install. It did became fairly faster after that. You would also hear the hard drive spinning. You can replace with 2.5 inch sata SSD. There is also a 25 GB M.2 SSD which has bunch of drivers. So, you have two storage options. Processor and GPU: Bestbuy model has i7 not the i5. This processor is really fast compared to last gen intel processor. But, it also runs extremely hot. To be honest, this processor is overkill for gaming because you would have to under volt the processor to make it run cool. The throttling is there but its surprising minimal in my cpu stress test. The CPU temps did reach around 97C while gaming. You can use the Lenovo software to run the fan in higher speed and get the temps down little bit. The fan noise is alright, not that loud. But the laptop does get very hot, especially at the bottom. The GPU is 1050ti. It is good enough for casual gamer like me who play games occasionally. It runs recent titles like Battlefield 1, Far cry 5 at respectable frame rates. It's a entry level gaming card, so you know what you getting into. Battery life: The laptop has 52watt battery which is really small because of higher wattage processor and GPU. I get around 3 to 4 hours of YouTube videos and web surfing. It would only last 2 1/2 hours with full brightness. If you game in battery, it would run for an hour. Conclusion: It is very powerful laptop but lenovo has to cut on battery capacity and display to price in this range. If you are happy with the 1050ti, then it is a good buy as it is in $50 sale right now. The six core i7 processor can handle anything. As a engineer, I use this laptop to run Auto-cad and solid-works and this thing is just perfect for my needs. Replace the hard drive with ssd, then you have a very capable machine.
