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.

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
