USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, USB-C for charging, 2 x USB 2.0, HDMI and a headphone jack are offered. The Intel Core i5-1135G7 quad-core processor, which also has a decent integrated graphics unit with the Intel Iris Xe, takes care of the performance.

If a simple laptop is enough for you to research the Internet and write homework, then this is it Lenovo IdeaPad 1 worth a look. Although the laptop costs less than 200 euros, it even has a fast SSD with 128 GB of storage space. The battery lasts up to 8 hours, and thanks to the RapidCharge function, you can charge it to 80 percent in one hour. The connections are also practical: 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI 1.4 and a headphone jack. In addition to ac WLAN, there is Bluetooth 4.2.
Of course you have to make certain compromises with such a low price. The 14-inch screen only has a resolution of 1366×768 pixels and is only bright enough for interiors such as the university library. Due to the TN technology, the contrast is also rather weak. The Intel Celeron N4020 processor along with 4 GB of RAM is sufficient for simple tasks such as surfing the Internet and word processing, but not for much more. Nevertheless: If you are looking for a solid student laptop for office and internet, you can save a lot of money with the IdeaPad 1.
