broke within two uses

I have really enjoyed this laptop so far (I’ve had it about a month) and it works well for light gaming. I mainly use it for general internet and a few games and it does its job. I have to have it plugged in most of the time because the battery life isn’t very long, but other than that it’s a great laptop.

I bought this laptop only so I could play the Sims 4. Ive always wanted to try a gaming laptop, and since the Sims is the only game I play I figured the Lenovo Ideapad would work well, and it wasnt too expensive. Ive pretty much always played the Sims on just regular laptops, so my main hope was that the battery life on this gaming laptop would be better than my old laptops. Unfortunately, those hopes were in vain.

Basically, I bought 2 units for my friends to have Linux installed on the right the way with 32 GB of RAM, and 2TB of NVMes. Now, on the images that you see in the marketing section, you are going to find that this laptop suppose to have full size NVMe (2280) storage slots. However, it doesnt. While it has one slot that can hold full size NVMe (2280). On the other hand, the slot which is populated by manufacture, has small size NVMe (2248) storage. With no possibility to be swapped with 2280. This limits the main slot to only hold NVMe of size 2242, and cant hold a full size 2280 NVMe.

Problems from the start:

This computer is kinda good you really can’t play no games it don’t run good. If your recording the computer runs so slow DONT BUY my computer dont turn on and I only had it for 2 months it’s like it’s infected or something I need a refund but I think it’s to late

Let me just start by saying I own other Lenovo products and am generally pleased with the quality, function, and build of them. Now that thats out of the way:

This is a decent laptop for gaming and work, it did not slow down at all for me and its fast and responsive, the best part is that its upgradable which means this laptop has the potential to be even more responsive

You can game at atleast 60 FPS, no sudden lags. Could be better with the keyboard with the side keypad.

Excelente para diseño cad cam y juegos. Instale un disco hdd extra de 1tb para potenciarla. Los 256 resultan muy pobres
