Lenovo IdeaPad 1 (15", 2021/22) in-depth review
Lenovo is a master of affordable laptops. While the IdeaPad 1 15 might seem like a drop in the ocean of the company's portfolio, we have a feeling it has a main role in the future sales numbers. If we look at Lenovo's laptops as Game of Thrones characters, the IdeaPad 1 15 will be Bran Stark. It knows that it has to compete with the likes of John Snow (Legion 5), or Daenerys Targaryen (IdeaPad 3) to be the king (or queen), and occupy Sales Landing.And despite there being similarly low-priced options like the V15 or the V155, the IdeaPad 1 15 has one major advantage - the IdeaPad name, whi[...]
Pros
- Comfortable keyboard
- Cool during extreme load
- SD card reader
- No PWM (Innolux N156HGA-EA3 (CMN15F5))
- Silent
- Good battery life
Cons
- Uncomfortable viewing angles and poor contrast ratio (Innolux N156HGA-EA3 (CMN15F5))
- It covers only 54% of the sRGB gamut (Innolux N156HGA-EA3 (CMN15F5))
- Not a great performer
- Questionable build quality

HP 15 (15-fc0000, fd0000, hr0000, fr0000) in-depth review
It's clear like night and day that you don't need a high-end or even a mid-range laptop for normal light tasks. A modest 15W CPU is more than enough if it's accompanied by 16GB of RAM and a decent SSD. The HP 15 (15-fc0000) is an inexpensive device that will do the job for people who want to get a notebook on a budget for browsing the Web and and playing light games from time to time. However, you have to pay attention to the specs before buying because the machines with Zen 2 CPUs are tied with up to 16GB of soldered RAM while the ones with Zen 3 chips rely on a pair of SODIMMs which makes th[...]
Pros
- Clean design
- Good comfort during full loads
- Light (1.60 kg)
- Decent color accuracy with our Design & Office profile (BOE09E2)
- Acceptable max brightness of 287 nits (BOE09E2)
- Decent input devices
- 3x USB ports
- The fan isn't noisy even in "Best performance" mode
- Decent battery life given the limited 41Wh capacity (~ 6 hours and a half of videos)
- Web camera with a privacy shutter
- Low NVMe temperatures
- Lid with a lever design
- Optional fingerprint reader and a 1080p Web camera
- Clear sound quality
- Ryzen 5 7520U can maintain a 3.36 GHz clock even in long loads
- 2x SODIMMs for the Zen 3-based machines
Cons
- Just 1x M.2 slot
- The plastic build could be more stable
- You can't open the lid with one hand
- Rather low SSD speed because of the slow transfer rate of the slot (PCIe 3.0 x2)
- The middle of the keyboard flexes during typing
- Soldered RAM for the laptops with Zen 2 CPUs
- Low sRGB coverage and narrow viewing angles (BOE09E2)
- Bad contrast ratio of 290:1 (BOE09E2)
- All ports are rated at 5 Gbps and they don't support charging or DisplayPort

Apple MacBook Air 15 (Early 2025) in-depth review
We recently reviewed the 13-inch version of the latest MacBook Air and came away with a clear conclusion: it’s a fantastic computer that is simply not suitable for heavy work. The main reason for this is its passive, fanless cooling, which causes its performance to decrease significantly under sustained load. Furthermore, we found its base storage to be slower than most modern SSDs on the market. This brings us to its larger sibling. The critical question is, does the bigger chassis of the 15-inch MacBook Air help with cooling, and have any of its other underlying problems been solved? L[...]
Pros
- Superb and elegant all-aluminium unibody construction
- Completely silent fanless operation
- Excellent keyboard and a massive, best-in-class trackpad
- Vibrant and color-accurate PWM-free display
- Fantastic six-speaker sound system
- Native support for two external displays (lid closed)
Cons
- No upgrade options for RAM or SSD (soldered)
- Significant performance throttling under sustained load
- Display is still only 60Hz
- Extremely limited port selection
- Slow base model SSD speeds

Apple MacBook Air 13 (Early 2025) in-depth review
With any new machine from the Californian giant, everything appears incredibly simple and effortless, and the new M4 MacBook Air is no exception. But as with its predecessors, beneath the polished surface lie hidden pitfalls that you can only uncover in a detailed, independent review like ours. Of course, the machine is fantastic, but from its official presentation, no matter how detailed it may seem, you won't learn about its downsides, or more importantly, how to configure it to get the absolute most for your money.One piece of truly great news is that Apple has finally addressed a major[...]
Pros
- Incredibly fast and responsive M4 performance for everyday use
- Exceptional, all-day battery life
- Completely silent fanless design
- Stunningly thin, light, and premium build quality
- Gorgeous, PWM-free Liquid Retina display
- Supports two external monitors with the lid closed
Cons
- Performance is throttled under sustained heavy loads
- Limited port selection with only two Thunderbolt ports
- Base 256GB SSD is slower than upgraded models
