Lenovo ideapad 100 (15") in-depth review

Another budget-friendly notebook has landed in our lab and while the Lenovo Ideapad 100 doesn't offer an impressive hardware, the notebook does feature an outstanding design and build quality.

Pros

  • Sturdy construction
  • Touchpad and keyboard seem okay for its class

  • Unsatisfying battery life due to low battery capacity (only 24Wh)
