User Reviews for Lenovo Ideapad S20-30 (59-436662) (Celeron Dual Core 4th Gen/2 GB/500 GB/Windows 8.1) Laptop

I have bought this laptop 15 days back , not from flipkart. My requirement was to have a small laptop for daily use. I am not a fan of 15" laptops. The laptop is good. but hey i am using it for say 3-4 hours per day. for which at this price point is pretty decent. the keyboard is chick-let type which i sometimes find slippery, i mean the fingers don't slip but it appears as it is and sometimes professional. Battery is decent. nnIf you are migrating from an old windows laptop to windows 8.1 , you wont find much change.nnI Use this for: Browsing , movies , music , photo editing .for which it runs fine. nnPros n1. Lightweight with professional feel.n2. For basic daily use its more than sufficient. nnConsn1. No Page Scrolling option on the mouse-pad , every time you need to use the keyboard.n2. A bit slow. but u can uninstall many preloaded software to free up the ram. Even the antivirus.

Size, weight and other ergonomical features are good. RAM being 2GB and netbook being bundled with win 8/win 8.1, performance was quite compromising. Feature to upgrade it to 4/GB should have been given as an option and without OS is preferrable as windows 8 was quite lagging with this configuration.

I received my Lenovo S20-30 today morning. Flipkart delivered it to me in just two days.nnI like the form factor - easy to carry and good build quality. I could comfortably type using its accutype keyboard, screen resolution is far superior than my old Lenovo Z390 (~14 inch, i3 processor).nnJust get rid of trial version of McAfee antivirus. It could not even detect the superfish virus that resides on this particular version of Lenovo laptop. I installed AVG internet security business edition. Its a heavy program but runs smoothly. As soon as I installed AVG antivirus it detected superfish. You may also find some instructions on official Lenovo support page to remove superfish. The MS office is again a trail version. I replaced with MS office professional plus 2013. It runs perfectly. I also uninstalled several other junk apps.nnI do notice S20 - 30 limitations due to limited RAM of 2 GB - I observed some lag while switching between applications. I will upgrade its RAM to 8 GB soon and let you know its performance.nnI will also install UBUNTU 14.04 and let you know guys if Bluetooth and WiFi works fine. I could see some queries on UBUNTU forum regarding non functioning of Bluetooth and WiFi. nnOverall in 18k you are getting a good laptop with an option to upgrade it RAM.

Compact smart and excellent
