Review on πŸ”΄ Lenovo IdeaPad 100s 11.6" Laptop Review: Intel Atom Z3735F, 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC, Windows 10 - Red by Elijah Harvey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beautiful and with a great keyboard, but in the end it's a terrible device.

I've owned it for a while, so here's my fairly informed review. In theory, this notebook was clearly a good idea. However, it has two main issues: battery life and Wi-Fi issues. The battery life of this item is terrible. If you disconnect from the internet and turn down the screen, you can hear something relatively close to what the manufacturer claims. Simply browsing the web (without downloading) usually drains my battery in about two hours. In addition, the battery discharges when switched off completely. As soon as I step off the plane, I immediately plug it in for a few hours until I have to give a presentation. Connecting to Wi-Fi is also a big problem. I constantly have problems with Wi-Fi wherever I am. In short, this laptop should be an affordable product for web surfing and light office work. It pretty much fails on both accounts. However, I have a good use for it. I take it with me to speak at conferences wherever I go (there's an HDMI port). Because conferences are high-traffic places, there's always a chance that your gear might suddenly disappear. I bought this item for around fifteen hundred and I don't think it will ever be lost. In short: you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • a few little things
