However, because I couldn&rsquo;t find one with a good design and high resolution, I bought a ThinkPad.</p> <p>The specs are below, and using various points, the price came out to around 55,000 yen.</p> <h2 id="thinkpad-t470s">ThinkPad T470s </h2><ul> <li>CPU: Intel Core i7 7600U</li> <li>RAM: 24GB</li> <li>SSD: 512GB</li> <li>OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit</li> <li>Screen: 14.0-inch wide (non-glare panel)</li> <li>Resolution: WQHD LCD 2560×1440</li> <li>Weight: Approx. 1.32kg</li> <li>Notes: English keyboard</li> </ul> <p>Since it&rsquo;s used, I thought it might have signs of wear or scratches, but there were no problems at all, which is great. The battery is also working fine so far.</p> <h2 id="complaints-that-come-to-mind-so-far">Complaints that come to mind so far </h2><ul> <li>There are no <code>Pause</code> and <code>App</code> keys. I used the <code>Pause</code> key as a shortcut to open system settings. Also, I used the <code>App</code> key to open pop-up menus, so it&rsquo;s inconvenient without it.</li> <li>The <code>PageUp</code> and <code>PageDown</code> keys are right next to the arrow keys on the keyboard, so I often press them by mistake. This might just take some getting used to.</li> </ul> <h2 id="other-pcs-i-considered-but-didnt-buy">Other PCs I considered but didn&rsquo;t buy </h2><ul> <li>ASUS Chromebook Flip C436FA (C436FA-ENG)</li> <li>HP Laptop HP15s-fq</li> </ul> <p>Reference: <a class="link" href="https://www.lenovojp.com/business/product/note/pdf/thinkpad_t470s.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >ThinkPad T470s</a></p>
