  • Pros: Very lightweight and portable. Pretty good keyboard, as with most Lenovos. Getting Linux on it was quite easy. Performance isn't too bad. It can actually handle Minecr...
  • Cons: The battery is terrible. In fact, I would use a more forceful word than terrible, but I don't want to come off as dramatic. Just honest. This has, without a single dou...
