Lenovo S21e-20-80M40003GE
The Lenovo S21e-20-80M40003GE maybe small in size, but it definitely packs in a punch in terms of computing power. With a weight of just 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg), this laptop is certainly made for portability and it comes in a well-designed package.

Archive.org versionNetbooks fell out of fashion for a reason—there's only so much you can do with them, and there are better-performing laptops on the market now that are just as portable, to say nothing of tablets or hybrid tablet/laptop designs. But there are advantages to netbooks: Solid battery life, compact size, an actual computer processor instead of one designed for mobile devices, and (unlike most tablets) a full version of Windows 8.1. Plus it's under $200. That's nothing to scoff at.

Archive.org versionAll told, we wouldn't endorse the Lenovo S21e at $299 or $349; we like the HP Stream 11 too much. But at $199, whether from Walmart, Amazon, or another retailer, it goes toe to toe with the HP and comes out on top, with a slightly better screen and a substantially better keyboard.

Archive.org versionWith the Lenovo S21e, you need to be sure your biggest requirement in a laptop is a small size and a small price tag. If both of those things matter most, any other complaints about the system will fall to the wayside, as you'll understand that with such requirements it is necessary to make sacrifices elsewhere.

Archive.org versionThe Lenovo S21e-20 is a decent ultraportable budget laptop, with a fair share of storage, and it runs smoothly if you're not using intensive applications like Adobe Photoshop. If you're a student with modest computing needs—like writing papers and doing research—the S21e-20 is a perfectly good computer that is portable and wallet-friendly. However, the HP Stream 13 remains our Editors' Choice for budget ultraportable laptops, with much better performance, a larger, brighter display, and a more attractive design for less.

Archive.org versionPotential buyers should know that Lenovo achieves that price by sacrificing display and keyboard quality, processing power, and battery life. Looking at each element in context reveals that Lenovo made the right calls. Even a mediocre display by today’s standards is still pretty good. The keyboard’s shallow strokes can be frustrating, but it’s still usable, and undoubtedly better than any on-screen tablet or smartphone alternative. In terms of processing power, the S21e manages Windows 8.1, and more importantly, Windows 10 just fine. Again, it’s at least equal to many mobile Windows devices on the market, and perfectly capable for modest productivity.

Archive.org versionThe $269 Lenovo S21e is the saltine cracker of budget notebooks: not bad, not good, just bland. Thankfully, it doesn't leave a dry taste in your mouth, but it's relatively short battery life and finicky touchpad will make you wonder if there's something better out there. The answer is yes. The $199 HP Stream 11 performs similarly to the S21e, has a slightly longer battery life, and lets you choose a cerulean blue or bright purple notebook with more personality.

200 Euros (~$221). How much Windows do you get for this price? This 11-inch device proudly runs Windows 10 Home 64-bit. However, there are certain drawbacks, such as, a bad keyboard and a weak chassis.
