Reviews for the Lenovo B560-M488TGE
Essential. Office bargain hunters prick up their ears when Nvidia's Optimus is offered along with a graphics card for 399 euros. This is also the reason for our review of Lenovo's Essential B series. Performance for money champion or snail-paced runner?

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
