The Lenovo Ideapad 100s 80R90004US is among the cheapest laptops on the market. For $200, the 80R90004US offers the common 1366×768-pixel resolution on its 14″ screen, an entry-level Intel Celeron processor, 2GB of main system memory, and 64GB of Flash memory-based eMMC storage. As an extra bit, the notebook includes a free 1-year Microsoft Office 365 Personal subscription.

The features are packed in a 0.7″ slim chassis with simplistic shape, black palmrest, and silver display lid. The laptop is remarkably light for a 14″ system. It weighs only 3.3 pounds, while 14″ laptops usually weigh more than 4 lbs.

Touchscreen input isn’t supported. For interaction with Windows 10 and programs you can use the chiclet keyboard with ergonomic smile-shaped keys and no backlight and multitouch trackpad with real physical buttons instead of those integrated in the surface.

The CPU model of the included Intel Celeron is the N3050 we reviewed recently. The chip belongs to the bottom of the processor hierarchy, but is nevertheless capable of juggling your daily computing chores without unacceptable lags. True, for anything more demanding than web browsing, Office document editing, media playback, or lightest gaming, you’ll have to shell out more money for a system with one of the mainstream Intel Core i-series processors. The RAM memory size of 2GB is a limiting factor when it comes to multitasking, meaning you want be able to simultaneously run more than a couple of programs and browser tabs. As for included 64GB of eMMC storage, it’s quite cramped for today’s PC standards, but it still twice as large as storage of similarly priced notebooks with only 32GB.

The Lenovo Ideapad 100s 80R90004US has stereo speakers, a 0.9MP 720p web camera, 802.11N Wi-Fi wireless connection, one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI video output, a microSD media card reader, and a combo audio port.

Lenovo says the battery life can last “up to 8 hours”.
