Lenovo Thinkpad B50

 

Lightweight

Out of warranty and now is a brick. I work in IT, have built various PCs over the years, so have good technical experience. No matter what I do I cannot get the PC to boot or even get to the BIOS to replace windows with Linux. Tried everything and...

Nice ergonomics - using the battery to act as a 'prop' to tilt the laptop a little, encouraging air movement under the machine. Battery also acts as a 'handle' to help get the PC in and out of a bag. Price

It's a little sluggish when you've been used to something with a bit more power. No word processing software included.

The performance, screen resolution and keyboard quality are not the best but you get EXACTLY the standard that I would expect for the price. The pre-installed Lenovo applications are a little annoying but easy enough to remove if you don't want them. I...
