Whether you're a future architect working on the next Fallingwater or a budding director trying to cut the next Citizen Kane, sometimes you just need more PC than what the traditional mainstream laptop has to offer. But that doesn't mean you need to shell out in excess of $2,000 to get one. Asus' ZenBook Pro UX501VW offers an Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD and Nvidia 960M discrete graphics, all for just $1499, more than $500 less than an equivalent MacBook Pro or Dell XPS 15. It even has a high-res UHD touch screen, which makes this an ideal machine for editing photos or videos. The ZenBook Pro is so good it feels like there should be a catch or secret hidden beneath its sturdy aluminum unibody frame, but aside from a few minor nitpicks, Asus' 15-inch multimedia machine is almost flawless.</div>

Design</h3>

On the 15-inch ZenBook Pro, Asus takes a simple, almost stately approach to design. The machine features an all-aluminum chassis topped by the company's signature concentric ring finish on the metallic gray lid, with subtle, polished edges on the sides. When you pry open the lid, there are more concentric rings set near the rear of the keyboard, and an ample, brushed metal deck where you can rest your palms.</div>
<div class="Normal1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

That includes the <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/apple-macbook-pro-retina-15-inch-2015" style="border: 0px; color: #276dcc; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2015 MacBook Pro</a></strong> (14. x 9.7 x 0.71 inches and 4.49 pounds), the <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/samsung-ativ-book-9-pro" style="border: 0px; color: #276dcc; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Samsung Ativ Book 9 Pro</a></strong> (14. x 9.8 x 0.70 and 4.45 pounds) especially Dell's sleek <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/dell-xps-15" style="border: 0px; color: #276dcc; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">XPS 15</a></strong> (14.01 x 9.23 x 0.45-0.66-inches and 4.4 pounds).</div>

Keyboard and Touchpad</h3>
<div class="Normal1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

However, if you're used to boards with short key travel, like I am, it can take a little while to adjust to pressing down all the way in order for keys to register. I hit 76 words per minute on 10fastfingers.com's typing test, which is was on the slow side of my typical 75-80 wpm range, but not annoyingly so. </span></div>
<div class="Normal1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Asus ZenBook Pro UX501VW Keyboard" border="0" height="435" src="http://www.laptopmag.com/images/uploads/ppress/45063/asus-zenbook-pro-ux501v-w-g07.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="675" />The one trade-off Asus makes on the keyboard is a half-size Right Shift key in return for a set of full-size arrow keys. While this can make typing a little slower at first, it's a sacrifice that really benefits video pros, who often use those keys to navigate to different frames of while editing.</div>
<div class="Normal1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

As expected, the touchpad responded quickly and accurately to both clicking and multitouch gestures, such as two-finger scrolling and pinch-to-zoom.</div>

With its 15.6-inch 3840 x 2160 UHD touch screen, the ZenBook Pro's display is ideal for photo and video editors who aren't wedded to Apple. Aside from a very subtle blue tint, both videos and pictures looked almost exactly the same on the ZenBook Pro's display as they did on my professionally calibrated NEC desktop monitor. I just wish the coating were less shiny, as I spent a little too much time staring back at myself.</div>

At 289 nits of brightness, the ZenBook Pro's screen was about as bright as the display on Dell's XPS 15 (285 nits), slightly dimmer than the one on Apple's 2015 MacBook Pro (303 nits) and a good deal behind the screen on Samsung's Ativ Book 9 Pro (405 nits).</div>

The ZenBook Pro's screen can reproduce 110 percent of the sRGB color gamut. Anything above 100 percent is great, and the Asus bested the MacBook Pro by quite a bit (86 percent). However, this notebook's panel lost out to the super-rich displays on the XPS 15 (191 percent) and the Ativ Book 9 Pro (130 percent), although its colors looked more true to life.</div>
<div class="Normal1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
Color accuracy also lagged a little behind similar systems, as the ZenBook Pro earned a Delta-E rating of 4.37. (Numbers closer to zero are better.) Dell's XPS 15 (0.7) and Apple's MacBook Pro (2.1) both scored better, while Samsung's Ativ Book 9 Pro was a fair bit away, at 9.5.</div>

At first glance, the ZenBook Pro looks like it's hiding its speakers behind the circular patterns on its deck, but in fact, sound comes from a set of Bang & Olufsens located on opposite sides of the laptop's bottom. When listening to Ratatat's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSxjbF18BBM" style="border: 0px; color: #276dcc; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">"Neckbrace,"</a> I liked the system's clear highs and its reproduction of the wailing guitars, although I found its low-end thump lacking as I missed the headbanging bass I was really looking for.</div>

Discrete graphics often make it difficult for a system to keep its heat properly bottled up. But the ZenBook Pro didn't suffer from this problem. After we streamed a video for 15 minutes, the hottest spot on the system (the underside, in between the two middle fans) measured just 91 degrees Fahrenheit, safely below our 95-degree comfort threshold.</div>

In everyday use, the ZenBook Pro flies through tasks such as sorting through spreadsheets or simply running a bunch of browser tabs. Even with 15 tabs open in Edge, the UX501VW had no trouble streaming multiple 1080p videos from YouTube.</div>

The UX501VW's PCIe 512GB SSD was pretty speedy, registering a transfer rate of 462.66 MBps, which was significantly faster than showings by the Ativ Book 9 Pro's 256GB SSD (133.9 MBps) and the Dell XPS 15's 512GB SSD (254 MBps), but not quite as fast as the time for the MacBook Pro's 512 solid state drive (636 MBps).</div>

Lastly, on our productivity test, the ZenBook Pro matched 20,000 names and addresses in OpenOffice in just 3 minutes and 41 seconds. Dell's XPS 15 and Samsung's Ativ Book 9 Pro were both in the same range, at 3:36 each, while the MacBook Pro was a little more lethargic, with a time of 4:14.</div>

Featuring an Nvidia 960M GPU with 2GB of vRAM, the ZenBook Pro expectedly kept pace with the graphics power of the Dell XPS 15 (which features the same Nvidia 960M GPU) and outdid the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Pro (which features an older and less potent Nvidia 950M GPU).</div>
<div class="Normal1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
On 3DMark's Fire Strike graphics test, the ZenBook Pro scored 4,308, versus 3,949 for the XPS 15 and 3,236 for the Ativ Book 9 Pro. The ZenBook Pro also held a slight edge in gaming, as it pushed 38 fps in Rainbow Six Siege at 1920 x 1080 and high settings. The XPS 15 trailed slightly behind, at 32 fps, and the Ativ Book 9 Pro brought up the rear, at an unplayable 8 fps under the same settings.</div>

The ZenBook Pro comes with Windows 10 Home and a handful of media-editing programs, such as Cyberlink's PhotoDirector and PowerDirector. But these apps seem like superfluous additions, since the laptop's target audience of Windows-based creative professionals tends to opt for Adobe's more-powerful editing apps. For those who don't already have access to something like Premiere or Photoshop, Asus conveniently provides a gift box featuring a 20 percent off coupon for Adobe Creative Cloud among other software deals.<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.8em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></div>

You also get helpful utilities such as Nvidia's GeForce Experience, along with Asus Live Update, which helps optimize and update your laptop to keep it running smoothly. The Zen Book Pro comes with an Asus' standard one-year warranty as well.</div>

The UX501VW's supershiny screen, somewhat-stiff keyboard and slightly greater heft are minor quibbles when you consider this laptop's solid 8-hour battery life, colorful UHD touch screen and beautiful aluminum unibody chassis. The ZenBook Pro is so good, it feels like theft, stealing wind and dollars out of Dell's and Apple's sails while saving you money at the same time. </div>

Count me among those disappointed that the 13-inch Air didn't get a Retina display, or at least one with a resolution of 1080p.</span></div>

As of this review, only the 12-inch MacBook and the 15-inch MacBook Pro have Apple's innovative ForcePad, which uses haptic feedback instead of a physical click and lets you perform different functions depending on how hard you press.</div>

The Air's keyboard hasn't changed, either, but this is one area where I don't mind continuity for continuity's sake. While it has just 1 mm of travel (we prefer at least 1.5 mm), typing on the Air remains as comfortable as ever.</div>

Unlike the 12-inch MacBook, which has just one USB-C port, the 13-inch Air has a Thunderbolt 2, two USB 3.0 ports and an SD card slot.<br /><img border="0" height="435" src="http://www.laptopmag.com/images/uploads/ppress/44906/apple-macbook-air-13inch-w-g07.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="675" />Most significant, I think, is the MagSafe power connector.

Epic Battery Life</h3>

The battery life of the past few generations of the MacBook Air has been impressive, and the 2015 model is no different in that regard. On the Laptop Mag Battery Test (Web surfing at 100 nits of brightness), the notebook lasted an epic 14 hours. That's 2 hours longer than Apple's claim as well as last year's Air (12:20), and 6 hours better than the ultraportable average of 8:05.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

While better than average, the Asus UX305 (9:38) and HP x360 (9:28) simply can't match the Air's endurance.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
Blazing Flash Storage</h3>

The 128GB PCIe-based flash storage in the Air is leagues better than that offered by the competition. It duplicated 4.97GB of multimedia files at a rate of 358.4 MBps. That's twice as fast as its predecessor (190.3 MBps), the Yoga 3 Pro (175 MBps), the Asus UX305 (154.2 MBps) and the HP x360 (141.4 MBps).</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

On Geekbench 3, which measures overall performance, the Air's Core i5-5250U processor scored 5,783, which just edges out the XPS 13 (5,530) and the HP x360 (5,614), which have slightly less powerful Core i5-5200U CPUs. The average ultraportable scored 4,523.</div>

The Air also dominated the competition on our Spreadsheet test, matching 20,000 names and addresses in 4 minutes and 3 seconds. That's a minute faster than the XPS 13 (5:02) and the HP x360 (5:04), and more than twice as fast as the average (8:33). However, the 2014 Air was even faster, completing the task in 3 minutes and 46 seconds.</div>

I can think of two reasons why Apple has yet to boost the resolution of the 13-inch Air: Higher-resolution panels use more power, and Apple wants to ensure that the Retina display on the 12-inch MacBook remains special. Yet, all of the Air's competitors -- including ones that cost $300 less -- have at least a 1080p display. What's more, if Apple is boasting that the Air is better than ever for playing games, shouldn't it have a screen to match?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

And the colors it can display aren't very accurate. With a Delta-E score of 4.3 (numbers closer to zero are better), the Air didn't fare as well as the average (3.4), the x360 (1.3) or the UX305 (1.5). The Dell XPS 13, however, was even worse, at 8.1.</div>

Although Apple touts the Intel 6000 Graphics in the 2015 Air as better than ever, we saw only marginal gains, at the least, over last year's model.</div>

In World of Warcraft, the 2015 Air hit 32 frames per second with the resolution at 1440 x 900 and the effects on Good. That's just barely better than what we consider playable (30 fps). At a higher resolution of 1080p, the Dell XPS 13 notched 33 fps on Good, and 24 fps on Full.</div>

However, the 2015 Air did outperform the 2014 Air on the OpenGL portion of the Cinebench benchmark. This year's model scored 24.81 fps, which is comfortably higher than the 18.47 fps of the previous model.</div>

MacBook Air vs. 12-inch MacBook</h3>

Should you spend an extra $300 for the 12-inch MacBook? In terms of portability, the MacBook weighs nearly a full pound lighter than the 13-inch Air. The MacBook also has a smaller but much sharper 2304 x 1440-pixel display that's not only brighter, but shows more colors.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #494949; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

The Air's Core i5 processor beats the MacBook's Core M processor at every turn, and its flash memory is 100 MBps faster than the MacBook's. The Air's battery life also bested the MacBook's (8 hours and 43 minutes) by more than 5 hours. Most important, the MacBook has just one port (USB-C), so you'll need to buy adapters if you want to charge the notebook and plug in another device at the same time.</div>

The 2015 MacBook Air is a very good upgrade over last year's model. You get better performance and better battery life, all for $999. I also continue to like the comfortable keyboard and accurate touchpad, even though the Air lacks the new ForcePad. However, the notebook's design is due for an overhaul, and shoppers deserve a sharper and more colorful display.</div>

However, it lasts about 2 hours less on a charge and isn't quite as fast. If you're not wedded to Apple's operating system, Dell's notebook is the way to go, but Mac fans who value endurance above all else will find the new 13-inch Air the best there is.</div>

Just how much laptop can you buy these days for under $200? Starting at $199, the Lenovo Ideapad 100S is a lightweight, long-lasting Windows 10-powered laptop with a touch of style, good viewing angles and over 9 hours of battery life. Like other systems in this price range, the 11.6-inch 100S offers very modest performance and cuts some corners when it comes to keyboard and touchpad quality. However, if you're willing to live with a few compromises, you can get a very capable secondary computer or child's laptop for a great price.</div>

For a laptop this inexpensive, the Lenovo Ideapad 100S looks anything but cheap. Available in red, blue, gray or white, Lenovo's low-cost laptop has a classy matte finish that carries the accent color and persists from the lid to the system's bottom. The rubber feet match the color, but the sides and deck are a subtle black colorwith a similar matte texture, which did a good job of resisting fingerprints.</div>

While most Windows PCs come with hard drives or SSDs that have hundreds ofgigabytes of capacity, ultralow-cost laptops such as the Ideapad 100S, HP Stream and Acer One Cloudbook series typically come with 16, 32 or 64GB of eMMC storage memory. The Ideapad 100S comes with 32GB; 17GB of that is free, with the rest taken up by Windows 10. You can expand the storage by purchasing an inexpensive microSD card, which gives you another 64GB for just $20, or you can use some of the 1TB of cloud storage that comes with the included Office 365 subscription.</div>

The 11.6-inch, 1366 x 768 display for the Ideapad 100S isn't as colorful or sharp as those on expensive laptops, but it provides surprisingly good image quality with wide viewing angles. When I watched a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I could easily make out fine details like the beads of sweat on Finn's brow. Most colors, including the red in a First Order flag, seemed mostly accurate, though a bit muted. However, even at a full 90 degrees to the left or right, the colors barely faded.</div>

According to our tests, the screen on the Ideapad 100S can reproduce 62 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which doesn't allow for the richest shades. However, this showing is a bit better than the Aspire Cloudbook 11 (59 percent) and the 100S Chromebook (58 percent) and a tiny bit worse than the Asus X205TA (68 percent).</div>

The100S's brightness rating of 243 nits is better than the Asus EeeBook X205TA's mark of 217 and about on par with the Acer Aspire Cloudbook 11's rating of 250 nits.</div>

The Ideapad 100S's bottom-facing speakers provided sound that was loud enough to fill a living room but not exactly high fidelity. When I listened to Styx's guitar anddrum-heavy "Blue Collar Man," the percussion was very tinny, but surprisingly, there was a good separation of sound between the left and right sides. Major Lazer's synth-laden "Lean On" was clearer, but still a bit distorted. The audio fidelity and volume on both songs was much better when I placed the laptop on a flat surface rather than balancing it on my lap.</div>

With only 1.2 mm of vertical travel (1.5 to 2 mm is typical) and a flimsy base that flexes like a trampoline as you type, the Ideapad 100S's keyboard is a mixed bag. However, the scallop-shaped keys are fairly large, easy to target and have a snappy feel, thanks to a solid 60 grams of actuation force. On the 10FastFingers typing test, I scored 92 words per minute with a 2 percent error rate, which is on the low side of my typical 92- to 95-wpm time.</div>

Despite the flaws, the Ideapad 100S offers a far better typing experience than the Acer Cloudbook One 11, which has keys that are .5 mm narrower, 2mm shorter and cramped together with .5 mm less pitch. We just wish Lenovo had avoided flex, like it does on the 100S Chromebook, which is $20 less.</div>

In our tests, the 3.3 x 1.75-inch touchpad offered highly accurate navigation around the desktop, but it does not support pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling or other gestures. On the bright side, the pad has two discrete buttons for left and right clicking -- a rare but very useful feature that helps it avoid the jumpiness we see on so many clickpads.</div>

 Considering that it's powered by low-cost components, the Lenovo IdeaPad 100S offers really solid performance. </blockquote>

By contrast, the Cloudbook 11 has a buttonless touchpad and supports gestures, but suffers from a lot of lag; pinch zooms occurred a second or more after we performed them. The Asus EeeBook X205TA's pad also supports gestures, butalso performed erratically when we used them.</div>

The Ideapad 100S stayed cool at most touch points. After streaming a video for 15 minutes, the touchpad and keyboard reached a reasonable 90 and 89.5 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively, which is below our 95-degree comfort threshold.

The Lenovo Ideapad 100S crams a number of useful ports onto its small frame. On the left side, you'll find a proprietary power port, HDMI-out, an audio jack and a microSD card reader, which you can use to add to the laptop's meager 32GB of internal storage.</div>

Considering that it's powered by a low-cost, 1.33-GHz Intel Atom Z3735F CPU and2GB of RAM, the Lenovo Ideapad 100S offers really solid performance that's good enough for Web surfing, editing documents, viewing movies and multitasking.When I had a dozen Chrome browser tabs open, I was able to watch a YouTube trailer of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in one window while editing a Google doc in another, without a hint of lag. Performance was equally smoothwhen 100S was playing an offline clip in Windows Media Player.<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; color: #929292; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 2.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 54px;">HOW THE</span><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; color: #929292; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 2.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 54px;"> </span><span class="highlight" style="background-color: #f8f8f8; border: 0px; color: #929292; font-family: inherit; font-size: 26px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">LENOVO IDEAPAD 100S</span><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; color: #929292; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 2.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 54px;"> </span><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; color: #929292; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 2.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 54px;">STACKS UP</span></div>

The Ideapad 100S scored a solid 2,195 on Geekbench 3, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall performance. That's on par with the Asus EeeBook X205TA (2,212), which has the same CPU as the 100S, but nearly double the Celeron N3050-powered Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 11's mark of 1,285.</div>

The Ideapad 100S's 32GB of eMMC storage memory took 2 minutes and 24 seconds to complete the Laptop File Transfer test, which involves copying 4.97GB of mixed-media files. That's a rate of 31 MBps, which is a little less than you'd get with most mechanical hard drives, and also slower than the Cloudbook 11 (34.6 MBps) and the X205TA (41.4 MBps).</div>

Forget about crunching large sets of data on this low-cost laptop. The Ideapad 100S took a glacial 22 minutes and 5 seconds to complete the OpenOffice Spreadsheet test, which matches 20,000 names with their addresses. The X205TA took a similar 21 minutes and 36 seconds, but the Cloudbook 11, which is slower on other benchmarks, finished in just 11 minutes and 54 seconds.</div>

You can watch movies on the Ideapad 100S, but forget about gaming. Lenovo's low-cost laptop scored 15,081 on 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, a synthetic graphics benchmark. That's about the same as the X205TA (15,111), but a bit behind the Cloudbook 11 (18,314).</div>

The Ideapad 100S lasted a strong 9 hours and 48 minutes on the Laptop Battery Test, which involves continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi at 100 nits of brightness. That's well ahead of the Acer Cloudbook 11's time of 8 hours and 4 minutes. However, the Asus EeeBook X205TA lasted a full 12:05, while Lenovo's 100 Chromebook endured for 11:19.</div>

The Ideapad 100S comes with a free, one-year subscription to Office 365 Personal, which you can activate simply by opening a preloaded Office install app and signing in to your Microsoft account. The subscription, which would cost around $60 if you bought it on your own, entitles you to install and use the latest(2016) versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote for 365 days and includes 1TB of cloud storage.</div>

Perhaps because of its limited storage space, Lenovo puts almost no preloaded software on the Ideapad 100S. In addition to standard Windows 10 apps, the laptop comes with One Key recovery, an emergency restore program which launches when you hit a small button above the F2 key. There's also a Manage Account app, which lets you sign up for a Lenovo account, and a PDF of the instruction manual and Lenovo Solution Center, which does hardware scans and links to Lenovo's support forum. You can also download helpful Lenovo apps such as Reachit, which helps you manage your cloud storage accounts, and Shareit, which allows you to share files with other PCs.</div>
