Screen resolution caps out at 1920x1200 which feels blurry coming from the 2560x1600 a Macbook provides.
Its speakers are awful - they use EQ under Windows (provided by the Lenovo Vantage software) to sound vaguely reasonable. Under Linux no such EQ exists (even though Linux is supported by Lenovo on this laptop) so the speakers sound like a smartphone (not exaggerating).
The trackpad is so-so, to get a trackpad in Lenovo's lineup comparable to a Macbook Air you'd have to buy their Z13 which costs £700 more.
Pluses are the AMD CPU and graphics are good enough to actually play games, like Flight Simulator 2020 at 30 fps on low settings, or older titles like Witcher 3 or Arkham Knight on high settings also at a constant 30fps.
The laptop itself is good value, I picked it up on sale for £1200 with 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM for £1200. A comparable Macbook Air (M1) is £1600.
No? Just opened the lenovo website and it says
Up to 35,6 cm (14") 2,8K OLED (2.880 x 1.800) IPS, 16:10, DisplayHDR™ True Black 500, Dolby® Vision™
So higher res and oled.
> 1tb ssd, 32gb ram. Comparable macbook air m1 is 1600.
Can you even get an air with 32gb of ram? Or what do you mean by "comparable"?
Don't get me wrong - I like this laptop, especially it's keyboard.
But it simply doesn't offer enough value compared to the newer Macbooks.
