@@LaptopRetrospective I don't mind cheap, long as there is still quality attached to it, and this model does not have it by a long shot. It's the same with phones from Lenovo as the Moto branded ones have way more quality put into them, even the low end Moto e, and C line when compared to the straight Lenovo branded phones.

Even I don't like or want their ideapad lineup. Lenovo apart from Thinkpad/Legion/Yoga is not very good. I have both lenovo smartphones (A316i and A6020a40) and while the mainboard•PCB is pretty durable (I was a heavy smartphone user), both suffered from LCD/digitizer problem.

Technically this B50 is also an IdeaPad, but even crappier, I have 2010 Lenovo G560 (budget business laptop based on Arrandale Pentium + 3 GB of RAM, about 500 USD in 2010), the build quality isn't as bad as this B50, but it's still pretty crappy (I've managed to snap one of the USB ports after a year and short-circuited the motherboard a bit, it somehow managed to work in that condition for about 6 months before it was repaired)
