The battery is not too good other things are better.
It looks a little above mid-range. But, that’s not to say it ain’t good enough. Lenovo products are made with great standards. And they come with high density battery. This 3000mAh will still last longer than some 4000mAh. The design is quite appealing too. Nice one. ?
