Budget laptops are everywhere but most of them are underwhelming. While most cut corners in performance, others sacrifice on display and build quality. However, the Lenovo Ideapad 1 is unlike those laptops and is currently discounted for $280 in an early Black Friday deal.
The Lenovo Ideapad 1, in an early Black Friday deal on Best Buy, is now available for $579 $299. It’s a 15.6-inch Windows laptop with AMD Ryzen 5 7520U which ticks almost all boxes or even surpasses budget laptops in a similar price range in a few areas.
Why You Should Buy the Lenovo Ideapad 1?
While most laptops in this price segment come with sub-par displays, old processors, and 1366 x 768 resolution, the Ideapad 1 comes with a 300 nits 1920 x 1080p FHD IPS display, a pretty recent AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor, and a 256GB user-replaceable NVMe SSD with 8 GB RAM. The best part of all, it comes with a touchscreen, which makes it one of the best deals for $299.
Sure, the 7520U won’t handle it if you throw the entire kitchen sink at it but it should be fairly capable of handling regular day-to-day tasks like browsing, editing documents, and even casual gaming.
If you need something for gaming, the HP Victus with RTX 4050 is selling for $600 $499. For individuals with a low budget looking to buy their first laptop, the Ideapad 1 makes perfect sense, and so does the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 ($349 $199).
