Lenovo Ideapad S130 11.6 Inch HD Laptop (Intel Celeron N4000 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB Storage, Windows 10 Home) - Mineral Grey

All really good, daughter uses for college work. Not used camera so can’t comment on that but battery lasts for well over 7 hours.

Ok those ratings look poor but for the money this is a very good buy especially if you can find it discounted.Because it is very cheap the most noticeable thing is the screen quality. You can only alter brightness not colour or contrast. It's absolutely fine for watching Netflix and YouTube but you're not getting HD. Games however look a little washed out. Game wise it comfortably runs Minecraft and Civilization 5 but it won't handle spec heavy games it hasn't the processing power or memory. Apps work fine, it comes with some stuff preloaded.For browsing the internet, eBay, Amazon, email, reading articles etc. it is absolutely fine and Windows 10 has lots of options for the visually impaired.The speakers are functional but headphones or external speakers are required for quality sound and volume.Battery life isn't brilliant if you're out and about but if mainly used plugged in that's not a problem.It's quite light and dinky and runs silently because it has no fans. Gets a little warm of course but not hot.Like most things you get what you pay for but if 200 quid is your budget rest assured you're getting a lot of laptop for your bucks. Oh, the camera is very poor by today's standards but it means you can use Skype if you want to.Overall I'd give it four stars. Three star quality, five star price.

So far (3 days) - very easy to set up. No problems connecting external hard drive to copy over files. It looks very nice in grey. It really is handbag size (11.6 inches) with a generous keyboard and screen size making this very fit for purpose i.e. for me Word/Excel/skype/ email and internet. Sound quality is also pretty good. So far - I'm very pleased and consider it very good value

Very light and small laptop, so far so good! Impressed that it came with Microsoft Office. Delivery was extremely fast!

I hate it! It’s slow, keeps crashing, won’t recognise its own USB ports, despite trying the usual fixes. It’s rubbish!!

The main issue with this laptop is the fact there is such a plethora of devices out there that do a much better job of what this laptop tries to achieve. If you plan on just watching YouTube videos and browsing the web, then you might want to consider a tablet instead of a laptop. Windows 10 S mode restricts your usage of .exe files, which means you're severely limited as to what apps you can put on your machine. This also makes the machine useless for anyone wanting to do any kind of programming. Now, it's true - there is a one-time, free upgrade to Windows 10 Home edition should you choose, but then you run into the problem of the Operating System eating up your computers limited processing power. This makes the machine fairly useless for games. You can't even play old games due to the lack of a DVD-Drive within the machine. You're also restricted to Microsoft Edge and the Bing search engine which I know will put some people off.However, where this machine excels, is portability. It's extremely light, as small as an A4 piece of paper and extremely thin. It's fantastic for people who want to do a lot of word processing on the go, or require a machine to put up presentations through PowerPoint. It even comes with 1 years Office 365 to make the most of it. Battery life is excellent and the keyboard is fantastic, feels very natural and is easy to touch-type on. I would recommend this machine to two categories of people. Firstly, students who require a small, lightweight machine to do Uni Work on but don't want to break the bank, but equally don't want to do much on their machine outside basic office apps, browsing, social media and video streaming. Secondly, is people who require a secondary machine. Personally, I have a desktop that I built that I do all my gaming and programming on, but I wanted a secondary machine to use on the bus to and from work, and on the go - and for this use, the machine is excellent.To sum up, evaluate what you really want from your machine. If you're looking for a main machine that can do everything that a beefy desktop can do, then this is not it. If you're looking for a cheap, high quality machine to act as a secondary device to your main computer or your a student who needs a computer that can do the basics well and on the cheap, then this is the device for you.

Perfect laptop for my daughter of 12 years old, for homework and general use..

very basic lapop that is good for basic tasks. not good for running programs like Sony Vegas or other editing software but good for Microsoft word etc.
