A:AnswerHey Vish. In our opinion, while the IdeaPad isn't too heavy for a kid, weighing about 3 1/2 pounds, elementary kids may benefit for a smaller, device since a 15.6" may not fit in a smaller kid's backpack, but if you think it wouldn't be cumbersome, this could work out well. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

A:AnswerThis will probably be good for most people, most of the time. However, if you tend to keep many programs open at once, or use multiple tabs while browsing (like 50 or more), get the extra 8GB. You could also wait and see what your experience is like, but unless you are very strained for cash, another 8GB, or even more, is always good to have.
A:AnswerHi, Karen. Based off the system requirements that are listed on this Adobe Help webpage (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/system-requirements.html#ai-on-the-desktop), this IdeaPad should be able to run the software. It does satisfy their minimum system requirements, but it does fall short for what they recommend with system memory (16GB suggested). We recommend reviewing the system requirements detailed on the previously linked webpage, then comparing it with the specifications of any computer you’re interested in to help ensure you find the right fit for you. Feel free to ask any other questions!

A:AnswerHi, SRS. The MobileMark battery life rating for this series of IdeaPad is 6.1 hours; however, during test like these, the conditions you may be using your laptop can vary greatly depending on device settings, workload its under, and more. Reviews of this series usually experience around 4-6 hours of use with a moderate workload, being used continuously. Putting your device to sleep and making power adjustments are some ways you can easily extend your battery life.
