Lenovo S400 review : A Beast!!

I stumbled upon the Lenovo S400 when i was looking for a replacement for my old crashed Samsung. At first, i was lusting for the Dell Aspiron convertible : duo hybrid tablet. but as soon as i saw the Lenovo S400, i fell in love :-). for more information on the dell Aspiron hybrid, click here.

The sleekness and functionality of this gadget makes it the ultimate laptop suitable for any programmer, developer, designer, blogger or business executive. Some of the basic specifications include:
  • Intel core i3-2365m processor (4 processores)
  • 1.4 Ghz default clock speed (*4)
  • 4.00 GB RAM
  • 500 GB HD
  • 14 inch screen
  • a generous touchpad that is multi touch capable.
  • A chiclet accutype keyboard
  • Intergrated bluetooth version 4 and Wifi
  • USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI out and Card Reader
Other interesting features include the Intel graphics Card that will be of particular importance to gamers. The one key recovery system is very helpful when it comes to data backup and recovery processes. it also has a quick start key that lets you surf the web, photo manager, Skype and music player at the instance of a button before the windows operating system is loaded.

Its looks are breathtaking. apart from the fact that it weighs approximately 1.8 kgs, it is extremely slim and is therefore loved because of its ultraportable nature. It comes in crimson red and silver colors. The super sleek profile and a very sleek metallic finish is captivating to the eye.

This is the ultimate Ideapad. I happened to purchase mine at the Ibrahim's Store opposite Stanley hotel. It was retailing for 45,000. Its initial price was 50,000 but lucky for me, they had a sale and were selling laptops 5,000 less if they cost more than 40,000 shillings. I had window shopped around at Avenue Electronics next to I&M bank, Bright Electronics and a couple of computer shops on the Ibrahim's lane but they were either too lame (did not have it in their stores), or did not offer a good bargain.

One thing that is wanting about it is the battery life. It was indicated that the battery life would last for about 4 hours, which it did in the earlier days. However, right now, sustaining 3 hours is a miracle. Because of its slim nature, the battery quality had to be compromised.

Lenovo Group Limited is a China company that manufactures servers, laptops, computers and handsets. it offers some of the best quality products in the market. to have a look at more of their gadgets, click here. 

Thank you for taking the time to stop by!!
