Laptop Buying Guide
I got this laptop at 64K. At current price of 70K, don't buy it. I'm writing this review after 2 days of usage, so it'll be my initial impressions.
* The processor is of HF variant that means it doesn't have integrated intel graphics. So all the gpu related tasks are handled by Nvidia gpu(1650 GDDR5) and remains active all the time. However the activity percentage varies according to workload. I think this is one of the reason of poor battery life.
* For basic tasks like watching online videos, browsing web, editing documents etc., I only got around 3 hours of battery life with balanced mode. It can be slightly increased by turning on power saver mode.
* Hybrid mode is not available in Lenovo vantage app.
* Display quality is very good according to me(as I'm coming from TN panel), but the brightness level is not that high. I had to keep it at least 80% always for better visibility in a room with normal lighting. It's a 60Hz panel.
* The HDD model is WDC WD10SPZX 5400 rpm.
* The SSD model is Micron MTFDHBA256TCK.
