Advice on a laptop (Lenovo B51-80)

    Hi,

    Been keeping my eyes out for a decent laptop deal and came across this one:


    Lenovo B51-80


    I'm not much of a gamer so would be using it primarily for either a bit of coding, or general use (browsing, MS office, watching movies, etc.).

    Does it seem like a reasonable deal or would I find better value elsewhere?

    Thanks

    The Pro's of this machine are that it comes with an SSD, and it has a good and recent processor. The cons would be a relatively low res screen, small storage space and low RAM.

    It would do what you want however, and if you needed more RAM you could upgrade it yourself without much hassle.

    Thanks for the reply Alanstrainor. Should do the job

    It's a good catch. I bought my cousin the same for a birthday gift mid January, and it has not developed any issues so far.

    It is a good one. Great to see SSDs making their way slowing into the lower end.
