The black Lenovo B590 (59410449) is a powerful laptop created mainly for small biz owners or home office workers in mind. In a basic yet classy package and an Ivy Bridge Intel i5 processor with fast start-ups and an average of 5 hours of battery life, the B590 offers increased efficiency and reduced expenses.

Lenovo B590 has a 3rd generation Intel Core i5 processor at 2.6 GHz speed (3230M- 3 MB Cache), 6 GB DDR3, 500 GB 5400 rpm hard drive and Lenovo Cloud storage.. Intel i5 processor is quite fast, 6GB memory is rather generous for plenty of multitasking and the 500GB is adequate as storage space for what this computer is designed. Home Premium 64-bit version of Windows 7 is good news for its fans. I personally prefer Windows 7 too, find it easier to use.

15.6 inch matte surface (suitable for outdoors usage) HD LED TN display with 1366x768 pixel max screen resolution has a maximum brightness of 203 cd/m2- which is not too bad for this price range, same goes for the integrated graphics card- pretty good unless you're a pro photographer or a graphic designer.

When it comes to connection options, the Lenovo B590 has pretty much anything an average customer may want for daily computing. You have 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x USB 3.0 ports, Realtek Gigabit Ethernet, a Broadcom wireless adapter that can handle 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, DVDRW optical drive, HDMI port to link to your HDTV and more.

Black Lenovo B590 weighs about 5.5 pounds and has the dimensions of 14.88 x 1.32 x 9.92 inches. The lithium ion battery gives around 5.5 hours of battery life in normal use. Modern easy-to-use style and ergonomically designed AccuType keyboard with 10 key numpad give you ease and convenience. 720p HD camera is great for video conferencing and simple video chats on Skype.

Conclusion: If you ask what is wrong with the Lenovo B590, the only thing I can point out is the screen could probably be a bit brighter but still fine.. Although it has a plastic case, it certainly is of decent quality and you probably can't expect aluminium at this price range. With stylish and professional looks, great functionality, comfy keyboard, reduced system noise, low temps and enhanced security options, the Lenovo B590 is great for work, home entertainment or school: Efficiency, security, design, power and ease of use especially for office use with a good price tag.
