    It’s not hard to see where Lenovo cut corners on its S21e Windows laptop. It creeks and flexes when pressed, its keyboard is bouncy, and its non-touch display appears drab. Meanwhile, its spec sheet reveals its mediocre internals, with an Intel Celeron processor, 2GB of RAM, and only 32GB of storage.

    But that should not deter any would-be buyers, at least at a glance. Because so long as they keep expectations in line, budget devices can be both solid and reliable. This one in particular is thin, light, and obviously portable. In other words, it could be a great complementary device. Too bad it has one major flaw.

    3 hours 40 minutes out of a 23 watt hour battery pack is really good! My gaming laptop lasts about 2 hours, max with a 79 watt hour 9-cell pack. And I take it to school with me. An external flat lithium ion polymer battery ought to increase the battery life considerably!
