introduction
We are looking at the Lenovo IdeaPad slim, it's affordable for under $200 in the USA. the laptop's also compact and very lightweight but honestly even at that price point. this is not going to be a good machine for a lot of people in fact. I struggled a little bit with this review because of my reviews. I try to mention who the machine would be good for and who it wouldn't be good for and. I can only find one case where you might want to get this machine. which I will mention at the end of the video if you have any questions or comments along the way left .those down in the comments the section below and let's get into the review of the Lenovo Ideapad slim is so like.

The only port we have there is a headphone and mic jack now all those ports work great. There's no issue in that and the port selection on this machine is actually pretty decent in addition to the ports. It's also got Bluetooth 4.0 and 802 dot 11ac wi-fi as far as upgradability absolutely none. I crack this thing open hoping there might be a slot to add them to drive or something like that. That there is nothing it's very bare-bones inside this machine so let's talk about some of the pros of this machine like I said it's very light and compact. It has a great port selection the keyboard is pretty decent to type on and the trackpad is very responsive. Other than that this machine doesn't have a whole lot else going for it that processor. That dual-core a6 9220 ii is pretty slow it's only got four gigs of ram and that storage is very slow. That affects just about everything on this machine so I tried running some synthetic benchmarks and honestly after letting it run for a little. While I completely gave up and was just trash.
That idea there was absolutely no point in trying to run those benchmarks on this machine it's so slow day-to-day performance is depending. On what you want to do with it launching applications is pretty slow. You can't really multitask too well in this, the four gigs of ram are not sufficient that EMC storage is pretty slow for swapping. Things are out so if you are only using one application and a browser with maybe one or two tabs. It's usable things work fine as long as you keep that in mind that some of the limitations are multiple tabs multiple applications multiple desktops. It goes right out the window and the performance just completely tanks and becomes almost unusable.
You're waiting so long for things to load so
another category was added. All my reviews are gaming and as you guess the gaming
was not very good on this machine. I tried a few different games and really
basic games old games and games like rim world. Those are just 2d they worked ok
rim world actually worked pretty well on this. But then I tried oxygen not
included another 2-d game and it was unplayable. I did try Minecraft I tried
both the windows 10 version and the java version windows 10 version was
actually playable on this machine the java version absolutely not playable. All
even with everything set to the absolute lowest level now as far as streaming
games. This machine through a streaming service or something like steam
in-home streaming should work fine. That
it's got a pretty solid 802 dots
So if you're gonna be streaming stuff from another machine that might be an option for you on this computer. So here's my recommendation section and as you may have guessed. I did not recommend this for the vast majority of people, if you are thinking about getting this you're probably gonna be used to it. It is for basic computer needs anyway so you would be much better off getting a new Chromebook and using that. The basic computing or if you definitely want something that runs windows look at eBay or something like craigslist or gumtree and buy a used machine. You can get a much much more powerful used machine for the same price as this machine is new so at the beginning of the video. I mentioned there is one situation.
Where you may
want to consider buying this and that is if you're gonna wipe. It out and load
Linux on it I tried a few different Linux distributions and it vastly improves
the performance of this machine you're still not going to be able to do video
editing very well. You know you're not gonna be able to play a lot of games but
for general use, it dramatically increased the performance of just using
your computer for word processing browsing. The web is just general pc usage. It
works much better in Linux because it's not as much a resource hog as windows
10 is so. If you're gonna buy this machine to wipe it and load Linux you may
want to consider it otherwise buy a used machine or a Chromebook. I said
if you have any questions or comments on anything. I talked about it in the video
leave those down in the comment section below if you found this useful and
informative hit.
