Thank you very much for all this information. Regarding adding a second nvme, do you know if there is room to install one with a heatsink, such as the Seagate FireCuda 530 ? Or must I get one without a heatsink?

@reaper7910 Год назад

I was wondering why this thing looked familiar. This one looks nearly identical to last year's Helios 300. Though, it is rather odd that the Helios 16 at home, this thing, has more reviews before the actual Helios 16

@morganvici6543 Год назад

I agree, legion 5 pro is a beast. but why would you downgrade from windows 11 to 10? most apps work on 11 now and its like moving from ios 16 to ios 8🤣

@Qimchiy Год назад

@@morganvici6543 It's Microsoft we're talking about here. Windows 11 looks nice but functionally worse. There's extra steps to do most things, and having a Microsoft account is mandatory. It's unstable and things are just slow. Unlike Apple's OS, Windows OS gets bad every other version, Vista after XP was bad, Win 8.1 after Win 7 was bad and Win 11 after Win 10 is bad. EqAPO and HeSuVi didn't exactly work on Windows 11 either. My laptop ain't a slouch with Ryzen 7, 3070 and 32GB Ram and moving back to 10 made it feel so much faster and everything worked better.

@beefycroissant6485 Год назад

People just say its bad because because they are used to the previous os. And windows 11 isn't unstable anymore.

@Qimchiy Год назад

@@beefycroissant6485 Not from my experience. I wanted to like it. It looks good and I like the file tabs even though it wasn't as useful as I'd like it to be. Installing the official Microsoft Office somehow made the right click create txt file option disappear completely. Trying to get it back just removed the office options. So I still couldn't create a text file. Based on how responsive Windows 10 is when I went from Windows 11. There's still some work needed on Windows 11. Friends I know who use Windows 11 have odd yet simple problems, not being able to print on one laptop and having lag on another laptop.

bought i7+4060 version based on reviews. One important point which reviews dont mention is if you are coming from dell inspiron or lenovo experience, you will find the keyboard small and cluttered for typing and it will be learning curve for fast typers who dont look at keys to type. Its like the laptop is intended for arrow keys and AWSD key usage only. num pad is as well too small and congested.
