Design – Optimal Use

This entry-level Lenovo laptop weighs 4.6lbs and has a 15.6" screen. Some users may find it underpowered, but the Intel Celeron processor and larger than average 4GB of RAM should be able to handle most standard home or small office tasks like browsing, email, office applications, limited gaming, etc.

Not for everyone

If you are looking for a light weight laptop for transporting, work, or coffee shops, you should consider a lighter Ultrabook instead. Gamers should look for a purpose-built notebook with a faster processor and discrete graphics chip. It includes Windows 8, which has a slight learning curve. (No touch screen but Windows 10 is coming soon!)
