Lenovo S21e 11.6-Inch Laptop (80M4002DUS)



Lenovo S21e (80M4002DUS) is an 11.6″ budget laptop designed to be a great travel partner that lets you perform your basic daily tasks without problems, with an entry level Intel Celeron processor and the speed of an SSD rather than a traditional HDD, high pixel density screen, more than adequate sound, five hour battery life, good connectivity including a USB 3.0, an HDMI, Bluetooth and more but please note that although it is adequate for any of the daily internet, multimedia or office tasks, it is not for the latest games or complex programs.

11.6-Inch LED-backlit HD screen with 1366 x 768 pixel max screen resolution offers high pixel density decent image quality for the price and the graphics card Intel HD (Bay Trail) is OK for general media but not advanced games or multimedia editing. Enhanced studio quality sound is provided by the Dolby DS Advanced Audio and 2 x 1.5 watt stereo speakers and the built-in tiny 0.3 megapixel webcam with digital microphone is good enough for video conferencing with colleagues or Skype chats.

Conclusion: Lenovo S21E (80M4002DUS) is a low cost entry level very compact and portable notebook with quick and smooth processing power of Intel Celeron and 32GB flash drive, and a great netbook or tablet alternative with a Windows 8 operating system rather than Android for those that prefer having a keyboard over a touch display and something to take wherever they go for lighter use. Screen resolution is just regular high definition but being an 11 inch display, density is higher than the common 15.6 inch laptop screens. If you’re not very keen on Windows 8.1 you can choose to replace it by the latest Windows 10 at the end of July. Keys on the keyboard are nicely spaced out and is quite comfy to type on with the curves. You get clear and immersive sound without distortion through the stereo speakers- unexpected of such small and low cost laptop. You can stay away from power outlets for up to 5 hours at a time (this is an important one, given the portability of this machine) and OneKey Recovery lets you sort out technical problems or viruses easily and lets you back up your important data. If you are on the market for an ultra portable machine that will do the job- if you’ll use the computer to watch videos, listen to music, surf the net, Word and Excel type tasks without much lagging or freezing at a very low price then this is a great little computer to consider.
