Are you the "target audience"?
"…a powerful combination of performance, connectivity, and entertainment." If you are flying to the moon in 1969 that would be absolutely true. This is now however, so that is more marketing speak than reality. This is a modern computer, made with current tech that is designed to compete with Chromebooks and the MS Surface GO and the likes. By design, it is meant to heavily depend on the cloud (specifically OneDrive) and offer high portability to students and others with high text data needs.Most people try to see a computer as a single entity, but really they are always two-hardware/firmware and software. The only thing here that you can change hardware wise is the hard drive. I have yet to pop the back off my brand new machine, but from what I have read online, there is either a standard laptop SSD (probably not) or a newer style NVME drive (I expect). In either case it can be changed out fairly easily if the cloud isn't doing it for you. 128 gb won't go very far if you go beyond mail, web and word processing, but will be more than sufficient for a great number of modest, utility type users.Where most will be limited by this machine is the Windows S configuration. The "S" is for security, and from that aspect, it probably does the job and if that is what you are after (for your budding young adult, for example), it will fill the bill. You can (MUST!) get your needs fulfilled from the MS Store as everything there is vetted for safety and security. Again, if the majority of your work is in Office 365 and MS Edge, you may be just fine here. If you want to break out of that though, S has to go. Simple utilities like KeePass and Notepad++ (fully functional) are not there. There may be compatibles that you will be comfortable with, but the originals are not available in S. Leaving S is very easy (search for it) but of necessity is a one-way move since you could contaminate the architecture without the designed security. I saw no reduced performance when changing to the offered "Home" Windows 10. The change is almost instantaneous and free.I have always turned up my nose at 14 inch laptops, but the narrow bezel, and changing the zoom from the default 150% to 125% has really made things work for me. I still desperately miss the number keypad, but USB versions and large docking stations are easily and economically available should you want to go that route. The touch screen coupled with the large (largest I've used) trackpad is starting to break my marriage to a mouse. My cheap iPad stylus (the kind with the clear disk on the end as well as the rubber ended kind) works just fine here, but if you need pressure sensitivity and buttons to click you'll need the dedicated Lenovo Pen.A quick note about the other reviews I see here. They are riddled with inaccuracies and biases. Do your own research, far beyond what you see here. I usually don't put a lot of faith in pro reviews as they are often part of a sales technique, but I have to say they will serve you better than the "helpful information" you see here.Consider this machine for what it is, and not what you want it to be and I think you'll find all is well here. Recommended.If you found my comments useful, please consider clicking "helpful". Thank you.

Solid Laptop, But Only 4GB of RAM
I am impressed by this laptop. I was expecting less performance given its specs, but its actually quite good.It is running a 3Ghz Tiger Lake Core I3 and 4 GB 1600 MHz of RAM. The RAM is really where I think this laptop could be better. If this had 8GB or RAM, I would have given it 5 stars. I thought that maybe I could use ReadyBoost to supplement the RAM, but ReadyBoost apparently is not supported when the PC has an SSD. I decided to define my own Pagefile of 12 GB and to not allow it to resize itself. Sure, I loose some storage in doing so, but this laptop needs some RAM. Since the 4GB is soldered on and the user cannot upgrade it, the Pagefile was the only way to go. Besides the lack of RAM, everything else is great.I bought the separately-sold Lenovo Active Pen 2 for this and the writing experience is good. If you write slowly, you won't notice any lag between where you pen touches the screen and where the line is drawn. If you write faster you will see some slight lag (or gap onscreen between where the pen is and what you just wrote). Overall, it is good enough for writing.The keyboard is solid. I use a Thinkpad at work, and have used Thinkpads for years. This laptop keyboard feels like 90% as good as the Thinkpad keyboard. If you close your eyes, you might even think you were on a Thinkpad. There is no red eraser style Thinkpad pointer nub on this laptop.The trackpad is a nice size and I don't feel like I need the massive size of a Macbook trackpad. It is the "diving board" style, where it clicks physically at the bottom half of the trackpad, but not at the top. Of course, tap touching works all over.What surprised me the most was its single-core Geekbench 5 score. It scored a 1284 for the single-core and 2450 for the multi-core score. I ran Geekbench 5 a total of three times after the laptop had been on for a few minutes. Those were the best scores I recorded for this laptop. So this Core I3 is no slouch, but it is only a dual-core. For comparison, my Dell XPS 13 (model 9310), running a 4-core Tiger Lake Core I7 scored a 1546 single core and 5628 multicore.The color is a very nice dark grey. The top feels like metal and the bottom feels like plastic.You cannot upgrade the ram, but you are supposed to be able to swap out the m.2 NVME ssd. The bottom cover can be unscrewed for this. I have not done so.After being fully updated to the latest Windows Updates, I have 64GB of 117 GB free.Mine came with a barrel-style charger, but I have been charging over USB-C with no issues.Overall, I am quite happy with it. I wish it had more RAM, but if you try not to multitask too much, Windows seems to be ok with it.

Algunas fallas
En general, el artículo cumple con las especificaciones, sin embargo, después de 3 meses comenzó a fallar. Lo que sucedió fue que al abrir la computadora para usarla después de estar cerrada en reposo, la pantalla se apaga y hay que forzar el apagado y luego encenderla. Esto sucedió en dos equipos iguales.

Muy buen precio para una laptop
No me gusta la idea de que a futuro es poco actualizable pero es muy buena al menos por unos años

Es un fraude, dice que es escalable hasta 8 en memoria, no es verdad, el slot viene soldado.
La voy a rematar no sirve para nada, lastima porque es bonita.
