Built with educational insti­tutions in mind, the laptop comes with a moderate Intel Celeron N3050 Dual Core 1.6 GHz processor with 4GB of RAM. The screen is also as big as the Lenovo’s, coming at 11-inch, which nonetheless performs slightly better than the Lenovo panel in terms of saturation and bright­ness. The device is also slightly thin­ner, adding to its portability. With the given internals, the laptop is capable of handling basic word pro­cessing, web browsing and light processing. Anything heavier than that will tax the device heavily but at this price point, you can’t expect it to do any more.
