1. Nimo is a new brand to me, and it's a good laptop overall for the price, I do plan to keep it. Normally I'd give this review a 2*, but... I'll give them 3 to be charitable since they're new. -- The bottom line is, it's a good value for the price, the specs you get are nice; 64gb Ryzen 9... you can game on this for sure. -- but... it's got some issues and you're going to have to compromise:2. It has a high pitched fan. Maybe most people will not even notice it... it's right on the edge of my hearing, but like, it's enough that it causes me stress and irritation. -- Temporarily I am using a cooling pad with an integrated fan that goes underneath, but it's quite clunky, and sometimes it is not enough, and the high pitched fan comes on. I'd rather have a thicker laptop and a fan that doesn't whine.3. It's built with 15" or even 14" laptop components; inside the case is like 30% empty... and there is room to add one single additional M.2 SSD, on top of the Wi-Fi card, but like... with all this extra space, they could have added a bay for a 2.5" SSD, or 3x M.2 bays, etc. -- but this component selection I think is why the fans are so tiny and whiny -- like... if they had used components for a 17" laptop, they could have fit a larger fan inside... but they didn't.4. It freezes sometimes -- for no reason -- nothing in the Event log that I can find... -- In my experience this is typical of AMD -- but yeah, just sometimes the screen goes black, and it's just frozen. Never had this kind of issue on an Intel system, but AMD seems to be "sometimes they just freeze lol".5. The resolution kind of sucks. I didn't think I'd mind going back to 1080p, but whatever, it's usable. Refresh rate of 60Hz is fine, but 1440 would have been nicer... And the screen construction is kind of flimsy, just typing vigorously makes it flap a bit...6. The BIOS is accessible, but there's not really many options, it's like "Turn on and off certain USB ports" and "Turn on/off Virtualization", and that's it really. Would love to see more things in here, including like, if numlock should be on at boot, fan curve profiles, etc.7. The keyboard layout is crappy. -- I love a laptop with a NUMPAD, my 15" laptop has one -- they are awesome. -- But this one, they didn't put any spacing between the keys or nubs or anything, and like... it's really easy to be a key or two off when text editing, and it messes everything up. Maybe I'll get used to it over time, but I would have rather had slightly smaller keys, and some spacing (like an extra 1 or 2 mm) between the arrows and the numpad. -- Also some of the FN keys make no sense, like one of the keys is just a copy of the print screen key, and another just turns the monitor blank... even with no external display hooked up? -- So like... what's the point of that...? The icon on it is like what you would expect to disable to touchpad (it even has the little segments at the bottom like the old style touchpad) -- on every other laptop I've seen this button disables the touchpad... but on Nimo, it disables the screen... for why?Again, overall it's not a terrible laptop, all of these are things I can get over... but at this price point, I would expect to see more quality in the product.

I haven't thought much about this computer. I have no adware to fight with. I pick it up and it does anything I ask of it (currently I have 22 tabs open in Chrome, Inkscape, Solitaire, Edge with a couple of tabs open and Autodesk 3D Fusion and it sounds like one of my tabs is playing a video). Usually I don't switch applications while I'm rendering graphics or video, but with this machine I can have two separate applications doing old fashioned real raytracing at the same time without much of a slowdown. It's quiet as heck, even under load. I love this machine. I haven't even thought about running benchmarks on it...it's pretty much as fast as I need a machine to be.
