Pros

  • Category-leading storage capacity
  • Built-in Wireless-N connectivity

Cons

  • Less-than-impressive general performance
  • Lacks diversity (and number) of connections

Bottom Line

A small frame and low price tag aren't quite enough to help Lenovo's IdeaCentre Q150 pull away from the compact-PC pack.
