Absolutely disappointing for a device in this price range. The display coating has already dissolved in some places after a month of use and you can also scratch it with the stylus over time. The performance of the i5 with only 8GB of RAM is also clearly too meagre. For the same price, you can get another device with twice the performance. I wanted to upgrade the RAM because 8GB is pretty low, but you can't upgrade the RAM on the device because it's fixed on the board. 256GB of storage space is also far too meagre, for a 2000.- device I expect at least 512GB. Last but not least, something you wouldn't necessarily expect, but which makes a bad impression on me, is the Linux support, as Lenovo devices don't really have any problems with this. The power button and volume buttons don't work on Linux at all, which is a problem when you want to wake up the notebook from sleep mode or suspended mode, because it doesn't work (installation was OK, I reinstalled 3 times and tested all possible fixes).
Added:
I discovered another problem that I never really dealt with before, but you can't even boost the CPU, meaning you can't even reach the max boost clock, you have to settle for the meagre 1.7 Ghz. Since neither the programme nor the setting in the BIOS is available to enable the boost....
