very cool, top of the line, if the battery is in good condition, it'll serve you a long time. wish lenovo went with 2x RAM slots, not just 1x. keep a lookout for cheap docks if you wanna run it with external stuff (monitors, LAN, etc.) - game changer.
heads-up, although it says 4750, that's a 3000-series Ryzen (Zen 2) and as such has intermittent linux issues wrt power management. a coupla kernel switches and/or other tweaks may be needed, dependent on the kernel your distro's using. sold mine a while ago so can't remember the deets, but overall the switches I needed for Zen 2 to reliably sleep and wake aren't needed for Zen 3 (5000 series).
I once got my hands on. Ryzen that version that kept shutting down in Fedora if you put it under any load, and sometimes just shut down for no reason... I did some googling but couldn't figure out how to keep it from happening. I tried some power state stuff, but never found the right combo.
