Looking at these budget laptops and they seem on paper to be ok for general school use.

 

anyone running these in particular the a9 chip

 

£245 quid each

 

always been intel here but budgets means going slightly lower spec

 

hoping to run win 10 for office etc and a little bit of photoshop cs5

Yes - I've set some of these up recently, but they require Windows 1809 or later. Very nice and fast machines, no issues.

Horrific battery life. Cheap chasis.

Is this from experience?

Does windows detect all the drivers? Battery life any experience.

If Passmark is to believed, the CPU is comparable to a Celeron N4000.

It didn't detect GPU, WiFi and Bluetooth, but was straight forward to locate these on Lenovo's site.

 

As for battery, no complaints. These were imaged so they're not using the factory installed OS and they're brand new.

 

This is the exact model I bought, slightly different to your model.

Are you just using them for office and a browsing, do you think it will run a little bit of photoshop cs5

The ones I deployed are for office and browsing. Looking at the specs for Photoshop CS5, they seem relatively low apart from the GPU.

2 Cell battery, we have had schools purchase these from resellers just looking at a quick sale.

 

First complaint was the battery life, they were warned.

[round2it]

Scratch that then

 

Might look at some refurb lenovo t450 5th gen i5 8gb 256 ssd

 

The battery life for these look good i think they have an inbuilt and normal battery.
