round2it Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited July 20, 2020 by round2it

Michael Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Yes - I've set some of these up recently, but they require Windows 1809 or later. Very nice and fast machines, no issues.

Norphy Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 If Passmark is to believed, the CPU is comparable to a Celeron N4000. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-A9-9425-vs-Intel-i5-8350U-vs-Intel-Celeron-N4100-vs-Intel-Celeron-N4000/3278vs3150vs3270vs3239

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.
round2it Posted July 21, 2020 Author Posted July 21, 2020 Are you just using them for office and a browsing, do you think it will run a little bit of photoshop cs5

yac2016 Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 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 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Posted July 21, 2020 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.
