VigoBook G7 15.6-inch Laptop – Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T), 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, WiFi 6, Fingerprint Reader, 58Wh Battery – Grey

This laptop shuts off after 3 minutes of use. Waste of money
The IdeaPick VigoBook G7 15.6 inch laptop shuts off after only 3 minutes of being used. It doesn’t function well at all. The battery doesn’t have to be low and it still shuts off and it’s not on a timer. I constantly have to restart it and whatever work I was doing on it wasn’t saved. The screen quality is very dull and the speed is very slow. The laptop is very light weight and easy to carry around. But won’t stay on. Absolutely horrible waste of money.

Good for basic productivity, but disappointing for any real performance requirements
I use an Apple MacBook Pro, I picked this VigoBook laptop up for one of my kids to use.I’ve tried to be as balanced as possible in evaluating the performance of this laptop.The IdeaPick VigoBook G7 15.6-inch Laptop (also sold as the Thinkeagle VigoBook G7) offers a lot of features for the price, but has some significant drawbacks that are important to consider if you want good value over time.​Performance and Features:The laptop uses an AMD Ryzen 7 5700U CPU, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD, which on paper sounds fast and competitive for a mid-tier machine.​​In practice, the processor is severely underclocked in this model, so the system only performs at a level similar to an entry-level Core i3—making it noticeably sluggish for ordinary tasks like browsing or office work compared to what the specs suggest.​It does offer solid features for the price, such as a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display, modern port selection, WiFi 6, and a fingerprint reader for basic security.​​Build quality is a mix of metal and plastic. The outer lid is metal, but the base is plastic, which is typical at this price but may affect durability.​Major Downsides:Webcam and speaker quality are well below average, even when compared with other budget laptops like those from HP.​The performance limitations (mostly due to power restrictions) mean you won’t get the expected boost from the Ryzen 7 if you need more than light browsing or office tasks.​​Software updates or BIOS tweaks have been lacking, which could limit future functionality or improvements.​Value and Comparisons:At its regular price (around $450), it’s considered reasonable for basic tasks but lags behind competitors in performance and multimedia features.​​Alternatives like the Lenovo IdeaPad 3, Dell Inspiron series, and Acer Aspire Vero offer better overall performance and quality in similar or just slightly higher price ranges.​The major selling point is the amount of RAM and storage for the price; HOWEVER, it’s let down by limited CPU performance.​The IdeaPick VigoBook G7 is an affordable, feature-rich laptop for basic productivity, web browsing, and light media streaming. However, for anyone needing real performance, better audio/video quality, or longer-term reliability, other brands and models in this price tier are likely to serve you better.I hope this review helps you determine if this is the right laptop for you.UPDATE: I wanted to update this review from my son’s usage of this laptop.He convinced me to give it 5 stars (I had originally given 4 stars because of performance limitations).His rational is that this is an excellent laptop for doing homework, checking mail, and surfing the web.If you plan to use this for gaming, or other processor/gpu intensive applications, then the 4 stars apply.He pointed out that other laptops in this price range were all plastic, and he appreciated the metal body (he is rough on his laptops).So for everything other than serious performance requirements, this laptop is a good value.
