Don't buy it, its stupid slow, goes from 2.8ghz to 0.8ghz if you do ANYTHING. cant use discord with anything else or it goes laggy. the integrated graphics are dumb. the lag i get when just playing ROBLOX made me brain dead. just buy a optiplex and add a gt 1030 and you'll be getting 10x better performance for £100 cheaper than i bought this laptop as well!

Terrible iGPU, can't handle almost anything. Doesn't get hot yet the fans sound like a jet engine whenever you do anything remotely "demanding" like opening a web page in Chrome. This, however, could be Lenovos fault. Do yourself a favor and don't buy anything from the A series, no matter how cheap it is.
