The laptop was purchased on November 19th. I found an authorized store on the ThinkPad website in Shenzhen Huaqiang North. The laptop features an Intel Core i5-7200U processor, NVIDIA GeForce 920MX, 4G RAM, 500G HDD, and a 14-inch FHD screen. Yesterday. I bought an 8GB DDR4 2400 RAM and a LITE-ON T9 256GB SSD.
In general, this generation of ThinkPad is very well done in appearance, with a moderate thickness, but relatively heavy. There is a little more surprising is that you can open the entire notebook single-handedly. The top cover can be opened 180 degrees, and the display back cover feels very comfortable but easy to contaminate fingerprints. The heat outlet is at the bottom of the notebook, but not on both sides. The heat dissipation is very good.
