After years of running and upgrading and maintaining powerful desktop machines I decided I really didn't need all that power or speed and the cost had become a big issue. 3 months in and a couple of expansion upgrades and I couldn't be happier with my Lenovo. It's quick with the good SSD's from my old monster installed, happy to chug along silently and churn through whatever task you give it. It supports my VGA and HDMI monitors well, handles most everything I throw at it in Win10 for real-time audio processing and doesn't even get warm. Recommended for basics with a budget.
