Don't buy ideapad 5 pro

I just wanted to say, do not buy this laptop second hand.

Ideapad 5 pro 16aph8. 1tb ssd, 32gb soldered ram, ryzen 7 7780hs. On paper looks beefy laptop for a decent price.

I chose the 16" 2 fan option instead of the 1 fan 14" for better cooling, with iGpu for university use and light gaming (manor lords, snowrunner, mostly run at 70%gpu, at decent temperature, nothing crazy).

It failed after 1 years, it got serviced for free in warranty. It made artifacts, gpu fail, the motherboard was changed conpletely.

After 2.5 year use (1.5 year after service) it failed again. No warranty anymore.

An 800 eur (920usd) laptop, looks nice on the outside, metal house, doesn't look cheap, but in reality it is e-waste.
