Check out the latest price for the Lenovo IdeaPad 120S-11IAP 81A4005PUK
Specs
Processor: Intel Celeron N3350
Memory: 4 GB of RAM
Storage: 32 GB eMMC
Screen: 11.6 Inches
OS: Windows 10
Benefits
– Tired of dragging that full-sized laptop everywhere you go? This Ideapad is a very light 1.5 KG which makes it an ideal option for those on the go
– We can’t forget to mention the price when discussing the benefits. This laptop is a fraction of the price you can expect to pay for most full-sized laptops that are currently available
– Even with the compact design Lenovo has made sure to offer plenty of options for your external devices with 3 USB ports available. We see many laptops with much higher price tags limiting the amount of USB 3.0 ports available but not so on this budget-friendly option as all three runs on the newer and faster 3.0 technology
– Chromebook has been the king of these budget-friendly laptops for some time but for those that are familiar with Windows technology the move to Chrome OS can be a problem so having an option to purchase a device that is similar to Chromebook but runs Windows 10 is a big plus
Downsides
– Storage is quite limited with only a small 32 GB eMMC drive available. This will be enough to handle basic operation but if you plan on saving any amount of data an external drive will be a must
– For a device this compact we were expecting much more than the 6 hours of battery life. This is far from enough to get the average user through the day without needing to re-charge
Verdict
The downsides of the Lenovo IdeaPad 120S-11IAP 81A4005PUK are mostly things we would expect from a budget-friendly laptop so it seems like a no-brainer for consumers to consider for their device if low cost and mobility are both high on their list.
