The bottom line is that the Ideapad 710S is a solid, reasonably priced laptop that only seems to skimp on inspiration. It’s obvious that this is a computer that wants to do everything well enough to not be in the way, without any bells or whistles to drive the price up. That’s not to say it’s unattractive or cheaply made, especially with the thin display bezel and entirely metal enclosure, but there are no features here that help it stand taller than any of its competitors.

We like the Lenovo too, with two reservations. One is a rule we just made up, but that we feel is appropriate for the second half of 2016—that we won't give an Editors' Choice to a workstation without a Thunderbolt 3 port. The other is that you can get more bang for your buck, including stronger graphics and a choice of dual- or quad-core processing, if you restrict your shopping to 15.6-inch, non-convertible mobile workstations.

All versions of the Ideapad 710S come with Windows 10 Home edition and a one-year parts-and-labor warranty. Beyond the Windows and Lenovo utilities, you won’t find much in the way of third-party software except for a Microsoft Office trial and a few adware titles masquerading as games (like Candy Crush Soda Saga).

The Ideapad 710S offers great performance, a beautiful display, and decent battery life, all in a lightweight and thin package that’s priced well. There’s not much to complain about, really, other than the slow hard drive write speeds. Well, that and the stubby right Shift key (it’s really, really annoying).

We know a good product when we see one, and the Lenovo ideapad 710S certainly qualifies. This well-designed Ultrabook has just about everything going for it, only stumbling in minor areas. From its sleek magnesium-aluminum construction, to its beautiful IPS anti-glare display, the ideapad 710S is a highly practical mobile device. It’s a featherweight at just 2.6 pounds, and is just 0.55 inches thin. Its slim display bezel helps it be dimensionally smaller than a typical 13.3-inch notebook.

The Lenovo Ideapad 710S is an ultraportable notebook worthy of gracing your bag. It's thinner and lighter than the competition, and packs enough speed and sound to liven up both your workflow and your next jam session. Unfortunately, Lenovo's keyboard layout takes some getting used to, and the notebook's battery life is a bit below average.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
