this has usb 3.1 gen 1 portns. meaning it's normal usb 3 speed. the fast usb speed starts at usb 3.1 gen 2. and no thunderbolt. so no fast file transfer to external drives.
16 gigs of ram is soldiered on, don't know if theirs anyempty slots. At least 16 gigs is adequate.
resolution isn't great. upside is computer will run even cooler and smoother because it isn't driving much display.

This does have more RAM and SSD space, but I can fix those things, so I think I'd lean more toward the Asus Vivobook for $50 less, on the front page right now. Nice OLED screen on that one, although it is smaller. A little lighter, too.
I got an ideapad from Costco in April 2022. 17 months later, the hinge broke when I opened the lid one day. My warranty has expired and I can't get the lid to open or close without making things worse.

After 3 weeks something happened to the cpu and the computer won't start at all. We called their support center, and they said they would fix it for free since this is an internal issue. And when I received my laptop 2 weeks after I was shocked. They replaced everything (including the screen of the laptop), and they even replaced the keyboard as well. I think I was extremely lucky. But 1 month after the Ctrl key got stuck in the keyboard. Anyways, at least I got mine fixed. That keyboard issue is not a big deal. But I will never purchase Lenovo laptops anymore.
