Lenovo B40-30 review
A cheap business laptop? Yes, indeed!
Nicely priced ; Handy form factor ; Neat design ; Reasonable battery life
2GB of RAM ; Trackpad is too small ; Bloatware
The Lenovo B40-30 will be a decent laptop if you can upgrade the memory by yourself. Otherwise, there are better alternatives out there for a tad more.

Lenovo B40-30
Nice little laptop. Nice screen and very light.
Does NOT include a DVD drive, and a generic DVD drive will not fit as it catches on the body of the laprop. You really need an external DVD if you want to use one as the one offered by Lenovo is quite expensive.

Lenovo B40-30
It is easy to use and setup and too much "crapware".
The processor is a bit slow but will enable basic use, word processing and browsing the internet

Lenovo B40-30
For a laptop in the £150 range, its very good. Perfect for the money conscious buyer. Processor is slow but responsive once up and running.
Could have done with 4Gb of ram out of the box but as there is an easily access (2 screws) slot to put more ram in for only £10 to get to 4Gb its not a problem.

Lenovo B40-30
As I like Windows 8.1 there were no issues with the operating system. Performance is adequate and far superior to similarly priced laptops from a few years back. Build quality is adequate. If you want a modern netbook, this is it. Good value for money...
bloat ware - why do they do it?

All round great cheap laptop! Value for money too.
More ram would have been better but price reflects.

Lenovo B40-30
A good economy notebook once all the rubbish is removed. I bought an additional 8 gb. of ram for mine and it was still cheap. No installed optical drive but since the caddy is there it would be simple to install one if you need it. Being only a 14"...
Way, way too much bundled crapware. Just uses all resources and slows everything down. Took an age to remove it all
