Anyone interested in it should note the very weak iGPU. Just for some 30-minute fun in older games at medium detail at best, if not lower.

And be sure to check data on getting inside the machine. Lenovo, I think, should have a teardown guild or something. A friend got a laptop in 2020 and it had a pretty nice guide on their website.
