Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15ADA7

A family of low-cost laptops from Lenovo, which unites universal entry-level models under its flags. They are suitable for students and schoolchildren, they can be used as a working device for everyday tasks that are not too “heavy”, and also serve as a mobile entertainment center for watching your favorite movies and TV shows. Compared to other entry-level laptops, the IdeaPad 1 models stand out for their record low price - in particular, you can find an ultra-low-cost assembly costing around $ 400 with a TN + film screen and a dual-core Athlon 3020e processor, the computing capabilities of which are very limited.

However, in most cases, the "stuffing" of laptops provides for more powerful AMD Ryzen 3 or 5 (3rd generation, codename Picasso, Zen + architecture), at least 8 GB of RAM and an integrated Radeon Vega 7/8 graphics accelerator. The capabilities of such a platform will be more than enough for Internet surfing, conference calls, work with texts and spreadsheets, as well as multimedia entertainment and professional work of medium complexity (Ableton, Photoshop, JUCE, etc.).

The battery life is highly dependent on the hardware configuration and averages from 8 to 10 hours of work. Support for fast charging makes it possible to replenish the battery for another 2 hours in 15 minutes. The webcam is equipped with an HD sensor, a good microphone for speech transmission, a pair of stereo speakers and a physical shutter, with which the camera can be completely closed if not needed. The built-in cryptographic module allows you to encrypt data using BitLocker, or use TPM for secure authentication in corporate networks. Additional equipment includes a card reader and modern connection ports (USB C and HDMI).
