Performance scores
A B50-45 from the slowest stratum of the catalog
The Lenovo B50-45 runs an AMD A6-6310 at $130, below the general-class median of about $248. The measurements leave little room for interpretation: a performance index of zero against a class median of 43.05, and an overall score of 3 against 53 — the lowest band the catalog records. These are floor readings, taken on silicon that was entry-level a decade ago.
The one-task envelope, stated plainly
The A6-6310 is a quad-core AMD APU of the weakest tier of its generation. Its realistic envelope is a single undemanding application: a light browser session, a document, email. Anything concurrent or modern — heavy sites, video calls with backgrounds, photo work — will strain it. The honest buyer for this machine has a fixed, minimal need and a fixed, minimal budget.
No axis offers a claim
The verdict offers no top strength and names overall performance the leading weakness at 0 against 43.05. Graphics score zero with no discrete card on file and no capability flags surviving. The machine anchors the bottom of its category on every measured axis; the price of $130 is consistent with that position.
No depreciation anchor exists
With no reliable release-year anchor on file, the depreciation model produces no base, rate or projection for this listing. As with other floor machines, the absence signals that the B50-45 lives outside the normal value curve: the asking price is effectively terminal value, and the purchase decision is purely about utility, not residual worth.
General-class neighbors
Pricier options include the HP 17-p023ng ($137) and Pavilion G7 ($145); cheaper ones include the Pavilion G6-1070SO ($122) and HP 15-ay087ur ($120). All are floor-tier machines of the same era — condition, not configuration, separates them.
Bottom line
The B50-45 at $130 is a floor-machine: performance 0, overall score 3, no graphics claims, no depreciation anchor. It fits a buyer with genuinely minimal needs and a hard budget ceiling — single-task browsing duty and nothing more.
