Lenovo's well-equipped B570 comes in a range of incarnations. The budget model we have here sports stripped-down components, but retains the great keyboard, solid build quality and security features of the pricier models.

Lenovo is best known for its ThinkPad range of laptops, but those machines generally command high prices that not everyone can afford. For such a modestly priced laptop, the Lenovo Essential B570 really does punch above its weight. Its looks much better than you'd expect, the keyboard and screen are excellent, and it's a surprisingly speedy performer too. If your budget is tight, it's an excellent bet.

However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
