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.
