Very good pricing for those that like 17" machines, Size matters
Battery life is average, but mine is plugged in, and its slightly heaveier
CamelCamelCamel.
I also have a 17 inch machine ;)
FHD @ 17.3" lol.
I thought FHD was perfect up to, and including, 24"
there are a lot of 27” 4k monitors round now that people might be using, and apple have gone past FHD even on smaller than 15” laptops, so people might just be expecting more, i know my $600 2025 laptop has 1920x1200, so for a 17” laptop better than FHD isn’t unusual anymore. Good for people that don’t have an extra monitor but also don’t lug a laptop a lot. e.g home users small space, no room for extra monitor, fold up laptop and put away.
It was perfect in 2012. These days for 24" screens 4K is perfect so you don't see pixels. This is what Apple calls Retina. For 27" you need 5K.
These also only have a HDMI 1.4b port and no DP ALT via usb c. So even trying to escape crapola resolution by using an external monitor is fruitless.
Pretty certain the USB ports are all 3.2 Gen1 and limited to 5gbps.
Total POS and priced this way for a reason.
I wouldn’t call this “very good pricing”. It’s barely okay/passable to be honest.
16:9 aspect ratio kills it for me.
The only Australian review says "Wrong specification about CPU and hdd". Somewhat concerning
For the folks who want an AMD processor & higher res display Lenovo has a E16 Gen 2 for around the same price.

Though I would strongly recommend that you get the E16 Gen3 instead, which has a newer generation Ryzen 5 230 with an NPU for $1179
Is that a laptop or backtop?
