  • Long battery life
  • Capable all-round performance
  • Solid build
  • Decent screen
  • Comfortable keyboard

Cons

  • No second SSD slot
  • Throttles somewhat under load
  • RTX 2050 version poor value next to faster versions at similar prices
  • Expert ReviewsAug 2024

    Tested K3605ZU (i7-12650H, RTX 4050) - from Notebookcheck's summary, page not opened: a very capable do-everything laptop with long battery life; only one SSD slot and some throttling.

  • Trusted ReviewsJun 2024

    Tested K3605ZF (i5-12450H, RTX 2050) - from Notebookcheck's summary, page not opened: nicely built with a decent screen and keyboard, but RTX 4050/4060 versions cost about the same, so this one is hard to recommend.

  • DGL.ruAug 2023

    Tested K3605ZU (RTX 4050), Russian review; score only, from Notebookcheck's list.
