Robust hardware, quality metal build. SSD on an internal M.2 slot. 11th gen processor, not 12th, but the specs for the price (16 GB, i7) make it worth a look. meets evo spec, Windows 11 home. The Intel $50 cashback is available here and at a number of other Aussie retailers selling this hardware for the same price - but not Amazon. I've just linked to the officeworks page as it's fairly detailed.
The only caveats I've found so far:
it comes with Windows 11. Mixed blessing, that.
it's a Yoga, and Yogas do have a tendency to keep the fan spinning when put to sleep. Common Lenovo forum complaint, but then Windows sleep is barely sleep. After tweaking available sleep settings as much as I could in Windows 11, I just set it to hibernate on lid close instead. Probably need a fan control app; fan default rate when not under load is likely a little faster than it needs to be.
Charging is USB-C, using up one of the two USB-C ports. no HDMI.
Power button is at the side, far too sensitive and easily depressed in travel or bag, and just having it lying on a bed next to you can wake it. But the supplied pen in the plastic holder that slides into the single USB-A port covers over that.
Brightness can be turned right down. I spent a while staring puzzled at a black screen…
Wow, over a grand in profit! Thanks op
