Comment
Model: The Lenovo IdeaPad 500S is a thin and light high-performance laptop designed for everyday use. Its chassis is largely from metal and it is lightweight at merely 1.52 kg. Beneath the hood, it is powered by an Intel Core i5-6200U 2.3 GHz processor, 8 GB RAM, and a 500 GB hybrid drive. Together with an Intel HD Graphics 520, the Full HD IPS panel (1920 x 1080 pixels) makes for rich graphic experience.
Standard connectivity is available on this machine with three USB ports (two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port), a Gigabit Ethernet port and an HDMI port for video output. These ports are strategically located on the sides with no interface both on the front or the rear of the machine. Networking is supported by both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The white-backlit keyboard provides light for use under low-lit conditions and the ClickPad is equally responsive. Sound quality is loud and clear on its stereo speakers with Dolby Home Theater. The Windows 10 system delivers a decent battery life of up to 7 hours.
Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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 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.
76.25%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
