For office use.
Lightweight and functional, a good gift for small purses.
This laptop is overall very good. The CPU has few cores but in monothread it is surprisingly fast. The screen has a very thin pitch (1080p at 17", that's pixels too small for my eyes) but the image is matte and clean.
Think about upgrading the bios before kicking Windows out: there is no compatible utility to flash from Linux and reinstalling Windows is painful because the nvme drivers are missing on the Windows 10 and 11 DVDs.
GNU/Linux, so... Installation is fine. You need a kernel 5.14 minimum to have wifi. You also need to install the Sound Open Firmware to have sound (non free firmware), either directly from the sof-project website, or with the firmware-sof (Debian) or sof-firmware (Arch) package.
Note: with LMDE 5 (Debian), you have to backport a more recent kernel. The machine is quite noisy (the fans are running hard by default on this Debian). Moreover, acpi errors slow down the boot. With Manjaro/Arch, no more noise, the kernel is already good and the boot is ultra fast. The LMDE problems can surely be solved (grub upgrade and fan control).
Unmentionable positive point: the laptop opens very easily and shows a free 2.5" ssd/hdd slot with sata cable already in place. It took me 5 minutes to add a hard drive.
Small details that could have been improved:
- The on/off button has been integrated into the keyboard, so the keys in the 1st row are offset: above backspace is home instead of del. When I want to delete a character, I press home unintentionally. The left and right arrows are too big, they lack that characteristic space between them and shift. It's difficult to find them by touch in the dark. On the other hand, the keys react very well.
- The only air intake is at the bottom, so when you put it on the bed, it doesn't breathe anymore. I usually put a book underneath to let the air through.
Good screen, good processor. Memory a bit low, the mini of Windows 11 but it works for simple use. And adding more RAM is not very difficult.
