Memory: 4 GB of RAM

Benefits
– At just 3.86 pounds it is quite light to use as your everyday on the go device
– The 360 degree flip-and-fold design gives you modes such as laptop, tablet, audience, tabletop and presentation
– 500 GB of storage is available on the SATA drive which will be more than enough for most users
– Not just one but two USB 3.0 ports are available
– Battery life can be disappointing on many budget models but this Flex 4 can give you up to 8.5 hours on a single charge
– Memory is expandable up to 16 GB which is a great way to be able to extend the life of your purchase as more resources are needed
Downsides
– Performance is disappointing due to the low end processor and limited system memory of only 4 GB. Luckily as mentioned above in the benefits memory can be expanded if you want to get some better results out of this laptop
– The lack of an SSD is a downside
– Don’t expect to play modern games that demand high quality video as the graphics card is pretty basic and won’t be up to the challenge
Verdict
The Lenovo Flex 4 80SA0000US is very budget friendly and because of this lacks any serious performance. It will still do well for somebody who needs a basic laptop that also includes a 360 degree hinge design. Overall even though it is packed with great performance it does deliver good value for the price.
