Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga 530-14ARR-81H9004RGE

The Lenovo Yoga 530 is a reasonable mid-range option for conventional computing – from media and work to web browsing and low-end gaming. However, be aware that rivals are better in some areas, especially when it comes to screen quality and application power.

Reasonably well-balanced performance from the AMD-powered internals, and an exterior that offers solid versatility and acceptable design, undercutting normal laptops for size and weight. The screen and battery life are only middling, but that’s to be expected from a machine at this size. It’s a good – if limited – all-round convertible option.

The Yoga 530 is a solid convertible laptop. Its £999 recommended price is a little ambitious when parts of the build are pedestrian, but you can already find it cheaper online. And the lower-end Intel Pentium version sounds a good buy for those out to spend less than £500.

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.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
66.67%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
