    This is _almost_ the exact same laptop i researched last year except mine is _i7_ / _16Ram_ and after reading many reviews and watching many videos, _your_ review tipped it over the edge and convinced me to buy. The lucky thing was it was on sale at the time in Australia. Almost a year later it's _still_ a _solid_ laptop, but the fan can be noisy though. But I haven't regretted it... _yet._

    Great review mate! I bought the 2022 model. Stills looks the same except for the speaker location. I had to add an additional 8GB RAM to make it 16GB.

    The display: 16" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 45%NTSC, 300 nits, 60Hz is what may be a deal breaker for many. They don't come much lower than this, and no option to get something better. The rest is acceptable as 8GB is fine for most users just doing Chromebook-like work, as 90%+ of all Chromebooks have 8GB or less, so I never get the argument for 16 GB. Most people buying this i3 will not be looking at gaming or anything intensive. £550 for 8GB/256GB is fair IMHO if you can accept the display, my main gripe as that is what you have to stare at when you use it.

    • @SoulOfTech
      @SoulOfTech  3 місяці тому +1

      I fully agree about the screen part! As for 8gb being enough in 2024 there are multiple test that show how quickly 8gb bottle necks even just playing high bit rate media sometimes. Chromebooks run an ultra lite OS, over here we get the full version of windows which taxes the ram a lot more heavily. Of course at the end of the day if it works for a user than RAM is just a number.
      Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I have bought several Lenovo devices from their website. Once they get to be 6 months to a year old there are often really good deals. If you can wait you won't pay near MSRP

    Core 5 120U is not Meteor Lake, it's Raptor Lake refresh. Meteor Lake CPUs are branded as Core Ultra

    • @SoulOfTech
      @SoulOfTech  3 місяці тому +3

      You are 100% correct! I fumbled here due to frequently reviewing Core Ultra chips and saying this out of habit. Ill be sure to pay more attention to my verbal labeling for future reviews on the ML Refresh chips!

    Is there anything that can be done to improve the colors of this screen? My old Fujitsu laptop's screen is way better than this one. I regret buying this laptop. The screen is the main drawback of this laptop.

    • @SoulOfTech

      Hey there, in short of using an external monitor unfortunately there is not much that can be done about the lacking colors as its a hardware configuration.
