Lenovo B50-30

The Lenovo B50-30 is a low-cost business notebook that can only handle low demand applications and processes. The 15.6 inch notebook is powered by Intel's Celeron clocked at 2 GHz. It comes equipped with 4 GB of RAM and a 320 GB hard drive. The B50 weighs 2.15 kg and is solid and sturdy enough to be carried around, but a little on the heavy end. The matte plastics casing attracts fingerprints but provides a good grip. The screen does not have a high resolution at only 1366x768 pixels and is not a touchscreen. The colors, contrast and viewing angles are nothing to brag about either. On the other hand, it functions well enough outdoors at maximum brightness. The keyboard is standard size, but suffers from being a little unsteady (flexes when pressure is applied).

The Lenovo B50-30 has one USB 3.0 port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, an Ethernet port, an SD card reader and a DVD drive. The processor's performance is similar to a netbook's. This said, it is only able to run basic tasks. Loading times are also tediously long. To reiterate, the notebook will not be able to handle most games. The battery can last for about three and a half hours while browsing the net.

How cheap can a laptop be? Lenovo offers incredible freedom for configuring its B50 product line, and thus provides an extremely affordable entry into the laptop world. We looked at the base configuration for 270 Euros (~$363) in this case and thoroughly examined what can and should be expected from this device.

Battery life is another matter, though. The Lenovo could only survive four-and-a-half hours of light use, and a little over four hours with heavy workloads. It’s a versatile machine for the money, but the B50-30 isn’t the most well-balanced laptop around.

Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The Lenovo B50-30 may have a lousy screen, bendy keyboard and a processor so slow that it’s overtaken by budget Android phones of yesteryear. But as a package to compete against Google and its new Chromebook competition it looks feature-packed, thanks to a relatively huge hard disk and even a DVD drive. With a zero-cash-cost Windows operating system, things have just got interesting in the budget laptop space.

This isn't the kind of machine designed for high-intensity gaming or tough work applications, and that's clear from the benchmark results – the Lenovo B50's processor and screen are only able to cope with basic, general computing. The keyboard is good, it's reasonably well-built, and battery life is a little better than rivals. This machine is a good budget buy if the superior Toshiba Satellite C50 is too expensive.

The Lenovo B50 looked interesting on paper but the reality is it’s a cheap laptop for a reason. Its build quality is poor and its performance even worse. If you’re looking for a basic laptop for browsing the internet and other basic tasks, you are better off looking at a Chromebook, such as the HP Chromebook 14, or if you are sticking to a similar budget then the smaller Asus X200MA is superior.

Lenovo B50-30, First Take: A Windows notebook at a Chromebook price point
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
You can't expect a notebook that starts at £190.83 (ex. VAT, £229 inc. VAT) to be brimming with bells and whistles, but you have every right to expect a solid workhorse. Although it's a moderate performer and only has one USB 3.0 port, the Lenovo B50-30 is an excellent option for those seeking a low-cost Windows laptop.

Lenovo B50-70

Affordable and configurable; is the tagline used by Lenovo in regards of the Lenovo B50-70. At first glance, the Lenovo B50-70 looks fairly simplistic in design especially with the full matte black chassis and metallic front cover. Edges and lines are clean and elegant making it a perfect business laptop. Small businesses are the target demographic and users will certainly be impressed with the productivity and rich multimedia features of the device. The Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop packs in a 15.6 inch 16:9 TN LED panel with a matte finish. Display quality is decent with good contrast and colors. Audio quality is excellent with stereo speakers driven using Dolby Advanced Audio v2 technology. There are many configurations but the Lenovo B50-70 variant comes with an Intel i5-4210U processor clocked at 1.7GHz, 8GB DDR3L RAM and an AMD Radeon R5 M230 GPU. Users can select either a HDD or hybrid HDD with SSD cache with a capacity of up to 1 TB each. Other technology on the laptop comes in the form of an optional optical DVD drive, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port, 4-in-1 card reader and HDMI out. The Lenovo B50-70 features a good battery life of up to 6 hours using a Lithium-Ion cell rated at 2200 mAh.

No endurance. Lenovo sees its B50-70 destined to be a workhorse. A matte Full HD screen, powerful Core i5 processor, and a high-capacity hard drive let buyers prick up their ears in this direction. However, the laptop exhibits shortcomings in keyboard and battery life.

Lenovo B50-45

The biggest selling point of this laptop is its AMD hardware, which will really please fans of the AMD brand. Its AMD A6-6310 1.8 GHz APU processor, alternatively called the Beema features a clock rate of up to 2.4 GHz with Turbo and is capable of running everyday tasks. This processor has a TDP of 15 Watt and is coupled with a 4 GB RAM (two slots available, only one occupied) and 500 GB storage hard disk. Users can choose between the integrated AMD graphics chip or AMD Radeon graphic card, which supports DirectX 11.2 clocks at 800 MHz.

The unimpressive specs might be disappointing. However, they are not surprising in view of the affordable price tag. The laptop weighs 2.4 kg and is surprisingly thick at 26.2 mm, which is actually considered quite bulky. The 15.6 inch screen delivers mediocre clarity and contrast. In addition, the viewing angles are rather narrow because Lenovo only included a simple TN panel. One impressive feature of the B50-45 is the relatively low heat generation despite AMD having a reputation of making processors that release a lot of heat. Overall, this is a suitable laptop for the average user with no special demands.

Below average. Lenovo decided to use the new Beema APU from AMD in its B50-45. Only 390 Euros (~$494) is due for the simple office notebook with a size of 15.6-inches. However, the computer definitely reflects its low price tag.

Agonizing. Lenovo will not win any awards with the abysmal performance of the new AMD E-6010 dual-core and the integrated R2 graphics. But then, its price is cheap. To what extent the office snail exhausted the tester's patience, and whether multimedia and gaming is even remotely possible is revealed in our report.

Meaningless. 299 Euros (~$333) have to be put on the counter for the B50-10. This delivers a Bay Trail laptop with Windows 10. However, it is not a portable typewriter. Lenovo cut back on the battery (24 Wh), and the laptop can consequently only serve with limited stamina.
