Laptop with a touch of style, good viewing angles and over 9 hours of battery life. Like other systems in this price range, the 11.6-inch 100S offers very modest performance and cuts some corners when it comes to keyboard and touchpad quality. However, if you’re willing to live with a few compromises, you can get a very capable secondary computer or child’s laptop for a great price.
For a laptop this inexpensive, the Lenovo IdeaPad 100S looks anything but cheap. Available in red, blue, gray or white, Lenovo’s low-cost laptop has a classy matte finish that carries the accent color and persists from the lid to the system’s bottom. The rubber feet match the color, but the sides and deck are a subtle black color with a similar matte texture, which did a good job of resisting fingerprints.
