Editorial note

The Lenovo IdeaPad Z400 is a versatile laptop that offers decent performance for everyday tasks. Equipped with an Intel® Core™ i3-3120M processor, it ensures smooth usage for browsing and office applications. Its 14-inch touchscreen, combined with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, provides a pleasant interactive visual experience, ideal for multimedia. However, this device has some limitations. The processor, while effective for basic use, may prove insufficient for more demanding applications or recent games. Additionally, the 4 GB of internal memory can quickly become a bottleneck during multitasking, and the 5400 RPM hard drive can lead to longer loading times compared to modern SSDs.

Despite these drawbacks, the Lenovo IdeaPad Z400 remains an interesting choice for those looking for good value for money, with appreciated features like wireless connectivity and a storage capacity of 500 GB. Its modern and attractive design, along with its intuitive interface, contributes to a satisfying user experience.
