90% Lenovo IdeaPad 720S review
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The Lenovo IdeaPad 720S is a laptop that proves you can sometimes get more if you pay less. Its more versatile than a lot of £1000-plus portable laptops because it has a separate graphics card, making it a passable gaming machine.

80% Lenovo IdeaPad 720S review: A solid 14-inch laptop with discrete graphics and a great keyboard
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
A tough chassis and excellent keyboard are real selling points for Lenovo's IdeaPad 720S, which although not exactly lightweight has plenty of connectivity options. However, the key feature is discrete graphics, which makes this is a laptop suitable for both work and play.

Tight bezel, decent CPU, and dedicated graphics, all crammed in to an almost impossibly small slimline aluminium case. Nice.

Not the slimmest or lightest laptop around, but an all-metal design, great screen, plenty of performance and good battery life combine to make the Lenovo IdeaPad 720S an excellent option for its price.

Still, the Lenovo IdeaPad 720s handles apps and programs well, starts quickly, looks nice and has some features you can’t get for its price elsewhere. You really can spend a little less on a Windows 10 laptop and still get some high-end finishes and options these days.

Carrying around the $909 IdeaPad 720S, I've come to appreciate its understated style; bright, colorful display; solid sound; and comfortable keyboard. If its 8-hour battery life were just slightly longer, this laptop would be even better.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


i5-7200U: Kaby-Lake based SoC with two CPU cores clocked at 2.5 to 3.1 GHz, HyperThreading and manufactured with an improved 14nm process.» 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.

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.


86.25%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
