Hey guys, im 2 weeks away from finishing my PGCE (YAY!) and im thinking of investing in a decent lenovo laptop for work.
My requirements and usage is:
-Content creation (PowerPoint, complex word docs, excel, simple video and picture editing etc)
-Battery life needs to be good but im never usually far from a charger
-Portability needs to be good but not x1 or MBA level
-Screen needs to be good size as i will spend hours looking at it
My spec based on this is:
This comes to £578 from lenovos uk website.
So basically does this spec look decent value for money?
Will it cope with what im doing?
What are peoples experiences with the Thinkpad Edge E520 line?
Thanks,
Rob
