Lenovo Ideapad L340-17API laptop review: 17.3-incher pleases with good battery life

81% Lenovo Ideapad L340-17API laptop review: 17.3-incher pleases with good battery life

There is no shortage of weaknesses. With the Ideapad L340-17API, Lenovo delivers a 17.3-inch laptop that can score points with a strong Ryzen 5 3500U APU, a solid state drive, good battery life and a quite good keyboard. Unfortunately, it does not lack weaknesses: In this case, a TN panel with unstable viewing angles is in use, and the RAM is only able to run in single-channel mode. In addition, there is no memory card reader.
