It's worth its price
23 February 2019 
This laptop leaves a mixed impression. It has decent hardware, but also plenty of drawbacks. I wouldn't consider it a full gaming laptop. Yes, it handles modern games well, but it sounds like a train. And for €907.03, you can build quite a decent gaming PC. The design is top-notch, everything is concise and stylish (it's not embarrassing to take it out in a café, even if it's a Lenovo), but the case attracts fingerprints quickly, so by the time you take it out, the lid will be covered in prints, as well as the area around the touchpad. The Bose acoustics should be noted, but even with such a renowned brand, don't expect concert-level sound. The sound is pleasant, not tinny, but at 100% volume, you just want to turn the music off. No complaints about the keyboard or the camera. However, the touchpad was disappointing; the buttons only work well when pressed at the edges, and the touchpad itself sometimes feels unresponsive or seems to anticipate your movements (better to use a mouse). The display is bright and clear, but the screen has an "image retention" effect (if you leave a website open for 10 minutes and step away to make tea, upon returning and minimizing the site, you will see its outline on a gray background. Don't worry, this is normal even for Macs. It's a characteristic of the screen, not a defect). The presence of USB-C is commendable, as is the ability to expand RAM up to 32GB. If you overlook the flaws (nothing is perfect), it’s a decent laptop for its price.
Design, hardware, USB-C, expandable RAM.
Very easily soiled, not the best touchpad, noisy under load

Great laptop, but hot and noisy under heavy load.
16 August 2017 
I bought the laptop to replace my home desktop, so it needed to perform a wide range of functions. Mostly it's for surfing and working with texts, but sometimes I want to play games. I've been gradually upgrading my ships in World of Warships for the past two years, so the new laptop had to handle this quite demanding game. Finding such a laptop for a reasonable price wasn't easy, but Lenovo came to the rescue. Of course, this model isn't cheap, but compared to competitors, it's good both in terms of price and functionality.
In terms of design, it leans more towards a gaming machine rather than a strict office one, but at home, that doesn't matter. The noticeable keyboard with red backlighting is nice; I like this design. Performance-wise, the machine is excellent. The i7 processor with 4 real cores, eight threads, and turbo boost up to 3.8GHz is very powerful, and together with the desktop 1050Ti graphics card and 8GB of RAM, it's suitable not only for any professional tasks but also for all modern games. Yes, you can't always set the maximum graphics quality in every game, but in World of Warships, I max out almost everything. The laptop boots in just 12 seconds—that’s the power of a fast processor, SSD, and Windows 10. In general, all applications and games installed on the SSD start very quickly. The laptop is also equipped with ALL modern wired and wireless communication interfaces: it has gigabit Ethernet, WiFi standard 802.11ac (5GHz band), USB standard 3.0, and even the increasingly popular USB Type-C standard USB 3.1. The sound is unexpectedly powerful and clear. The screen with an IPS matrix is just a delight.
Strong heating of the case under multi-threaded load. I used it for encoding UltraHD video, and in an hour and a half of work, it heated up so much that it was uncomfortable to work on the keyboard. In addition, under such a load, both centrifugal fans spin up to the maximum and are very noisy.

i do not recommend purchasing.

I've been using it for more than 3 months and here's what I have to say: The price is quite tempting but it hides a multitude of drawbacks, from the keyboard to the cooling system and reduced performance. Oh, and yes, after a month of use, the screen matrix cracked from overheating and they didn't accept it under warranty, claiming that I broke it myself, even though it was on the table and no one lifted it, knocked it, or slammed the lid shut. The center at the bottom of the monitor felt very warm as a result of which problems started. I do not recommend buying it. And the service center charged 5000 UAH for the screen repair, even though a similar matrix costs 2000 UAH.
He is not worthy of attention.
Cooling system (in idle without running programs and fans on full, the processor heats up to 50°C. With a processor i5 7xxx), and also since this is an ultrabook, the laptop's performance is reduced. Keyboard: The red backlight after a month of use just hurts the eyes. When playing games and looking at the monitor, the backlight is still noticeable. Noise: Very noisy. Fingerprints: Gets dirty easily.
