Model: Lenovo's IdeaPad 100-15IBY is a 15.6-inch notebook based on Intel's Bay Trail platform. The 15.6-inch screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. As it uses TN technology, the viewing angles are limited. It is not apt for outdoor usage in bright daylight, since the glossy screen which tends to reflect the light. The chassis of the IdeaPad is made entirely from matte black plastics. The surfaces are slightly roughened. The IdeaPad is equipped with a non-illuminated Chiclet keyboard. The flat and slightly roughened keys have a medium travel and a well-defined pressure point. This model is powered by Intel's Pentium N3540 (Bay Trail) quad-core processor. The CPU runs at a nominal clock of 2.16 GHz, which can be increased to 2.66 GHz via Turbo. This is good enough for office and web applications. Storage capacity comes in the form of a 500 GB hard drive.

The HD Graphics of the IdeaPad is based on the Bay Trail generation which supports DirectX 11 and runs at up to 896 MHz. It is primarily suitable for simple, casual games from the Windows Store. Complex 3D games on the other hand, are not possible. The single speaker is above the keyboard behind a perforated cover and it produces a thin sound that lacks bass. Voices are easy to understand, but for a better sound experience, a pair of headphones or external speakers are recommended. Notable features are a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, a 4 in 1 card reader, WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0.

15.60":

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

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
