@ScriptCoded Because it doesn't generate enough heat... and also I have nowhere else to place it

The laptop at first sight looks like a big belly pentium until you mentioned that you've got another laptop underneath. Now I have a different view of it. Slicky!

@thesagya Ideapad 5 15 inch version with Ryzen 4700U. It has 16GB RAM (soldered), 512GB NVMe SSD, FHD IPS panel. I am surprised that it has only 57Wh battery and looks like it can last 4-7 hours of coding depending on what you do. Thermals are great, max. 80°C under full load, but fan although not annoying starts spinning at 45 degrees. If you want to use Linux, only kernel 5.7+ is supported, so you will probably have to compile it yourself, which I did, but it is super stable and the battery life is exactly the same as on Windows.
Pros: thermals, battery life, display is very good for a 750€ laptop, keyboard is also nice for a given price + backlit, speed overall is amazing - feels like at least 1500€ laptop, supports Wifi 6, upgradable SSD, free 2,5" slot for a second drive, aluminium lid, decent speakers
Cons: touchpad could be better but it is not terrible, sometimes noisy, soldered RAM, Lenovo puts a few keys in strange positions
Exact model: 81YQ000PCK -
@Parzi I will try to keep that in mind. But even if it lasts for 2-3 years, it will be already a good value, because my next choice was Dell XPS for 2400€ lol.

sjzurek4494y@lamka02sk what kernel are you on? I had to switch to Fedora to get the latest kernels and only after a week it started to work ok. Suspend still isn't working 😁

@sjzurek 5.7.7 and works flawlessly. I am really surprised, that I don't experience any problems especially regarding waking up from sleep
