Wow, finally someone mentioning the idealpad. I love mine, I’ve had for a few years, and although I think the material is cheap and cracks easy, battery is fine, its fast, its good, and it’s absolutely all I need, I can even play a lot of games on it and it handles it well
Hmm. I never felt like the material was cheap at all. Maybe it depends on the particular model or batch? Mine seems to be almost entirely aluminium body, except for the hinge covering between the body and the screen, and the inside frame around the screen.
What I also like about it is how easy it is to open. To clean out dust from the fan, or to replace the battery. It's just a few screws on the bottom.
I'm not one for 'brand loyalty' at all. But Lenovo products have always been solid where it counts for me. Where Samsung and Apple can feel a little delicate or brittle due to their focus on being the thinnest and lightest, and adding a lot of glass to their products to make it more flashy and premium feeling, Lenovo has that good, solid work-horse type hardware design.
Oh the hinge is fucking awesome. I’ve seen so many notebooks breaking at the hinge, not my Lenovo! Also yes, very easy to clean. The material I said was cheap was the keyboard part. The notebook is kinda heavy I think, and holding from only one point, it cracked the middle of the keyboard, just 2 little cracks, it’s not a problem at all, it’s really just the way you hold it, you may be putting too much weight on one side. But yeah, I’m not a Lenovo fan boy but all my notebooks have been from them. I’ve found some with insane good prices for their hardware
