For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Strong processor speed without drawing much power
  • Can run almost silently for everyday work
  • Sturdy plastic body
  • Comfortable keyboard with a number pad
  • Plenty of ports, including HDMI 2.1, USB-C charging and microSD
  • Neat design that is easy to carry
  • Fast processor and capable built-in graphics

Cons

  • Washed-out, dim screen (about 250 nits, roughly 64% sRGB) stuck at 60 Hz
  • Battery life only average on the European 39.3 Wh pack
  • Graphics held back by memory and BIOS settings
  • Gets warm above the keyboard in the fastest mode
  • Webcam is weak
  • Battery life
  • AI features add little
  • GeektopiaMar 2025

    Tested Spanish C1MG-051ES (Core Ultra 7 155H, 32 GB, 1 TB, 39.3 Wh): a sensible all-round work laptop that is quick and can stay very quiet, let down by a dull 60 Hz screen and a small battery.

  • El Chapuzas Informatico (summary on Notebookcheck)Jul 2024

    Spanish review of a C1M (version not stated in the summary): liked the looks, portability and processor, but not the battery life or the price. Read only through Notebookcheck's pros/cons list; the review page itself could not be opened.

  • Noticias 3D (summary on Notebookcheck)Jun 2024

    Spanish review of a C1M (version not stated in the summary): good value, tough and quiet, with a weak screen and speakers. Read only through Notebookcheck's pros/cons list; the site blocks our tools.

  • Mister Gadget (score on Notebookcheck)Jan 2026

    Italian short review of the 2025 C2HM (Core Ultra 200H; Notebookcheck's page lists Core Ultra 9 285H): called a solid, substantial work machine. Only the score and headline were seen; the page could not be opened.
