Lenovo IdeaPad S740-15IRH Laptop Review: Best and Priciest IdeaPad Yet

A good idea? Although the IdeaPad name is commonly associated with inexpensive entry-level to mid-range offerings, the IdeaPad S740 is easily the most luxurious and powerful in its family. The big catch is that it'll cost you almost as much as the more well-known Dell XPS 15 or HP Spectre x360 15.

Traditionally, the IdeaPad series has been home to Lenovo's more affordable PCs designed for users on tighter budgets in contrast to the higher-end Yoga series. The IdeaPad 330S-15 and IdeaPad S540-15, for example, each retail for well under $1000 USD. The IdeaPad S740-15 we have here today throws this all out the window by offering both a powerful Core i7 H-series CPU and GeForce GTX graphics for a comparable level of performance to most high-end multimedia laptops. Even the Yoga C940 15, which is Lenovo's higher-end alternative to the IdeaPad S740-15, comes with the same CPU and GPU.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y740-15IRH SKU in this review can be found online for a hefty $1300 to $1500 USD with just 256 GB to 512 GB of SSD storage. It succeeds the smaller 2018 IdeaPad 730S 13. The system competes with other high-performance 15.6-inch multimedia or office laptops like the Asus ZenBook Pro 15, HP Spectre x360 15, Dell XPS 15, MSI Prestige 15, and Lenovo's own Yoga C740 15.

Case

The "S" prefix in the IdeaPad S740 stands for "Slim" which Lenovo has reserved for its clamshell designs. True to its name, the system has a sleek, smooth, and professional look that has more in common with the recent ThinkBook series rather than another IdeaPad model. Visually, the chassis compares favorably against heavy hitters like the Dell XPS 15 or HP Spectre x360 15.

Rigidity is a step or two below the aforementioned alternatives. The surfaces of our IdeaPad feel comparatively thinner and not as strong as the XPS or Spectre. Creaking is more noticeable when attempting to twist the base and lid. For an IdeaPad, however, it's definitely classier and of higher quality than expected. Keen-eyed users will notice that Lenovo uses very similar chassis materials for both the IdeaPad S740 and the recent Legion Y740 series. Users looking for a more luxurious experience should consider the Yoga C940 15 instead.

Chassis size and weight are slightly bigger and lighter, respectively, than the XPS 15. Differences in volume are otherwise minor. For a more substantial difference, the Asus ZenBook 15 is noticeably smaller and more portable at the cost of CPU horsepower.

Connectivity

Ports options are a mixed bag. For one, be prepared to rely on USB Type-C adapters and docks as the system integrates no HDMI or RJ-45 ports and just one USB Type-A port. When considering the large 15.6-inch screen size, the limited ports are disappointing.

Furthermore, the positioning of the ports is not optimal as all the USB ports are along the right edge with none along the left. A more symmetrical port positioning like on the Razer Blade Stealth would have been more desirable.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by eight T5 Torx screws with none hidden underneath the rubber footing. Be aware that the edges of the panel are both sharp and tightly latched. Once inside, users can upgrade the WLAN, M.2 SSD, and both SODIMM slots protected under the aluminum plate.

Servicing takes patience because of the sharp corners and tightly latched bottom panel

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and instruction booklet. The standard one-year limited warranty applies with extension and accidental damage protection options up to four years.

Input Devices

Keyboard

When compared to ThinkPad keyboards, IdeaPad keyboards are noticeably shallower with weaker feedback. It'll take some getting used to if you're coming from a Spectre, XPS, or desktop PC where keys are firmer and more satisfying to type on. If you're already accustomed to typing on Ultrabooks, however, then the IdeaPad S740 won't feel all that different especially since Lenovo uses almost identical key caps across most IdeaPad models.

Touchpad

The clickpad (10.5 x 7 cm) is smaller than on the XPS 15 (10.5 x 8.5 cm) and only slightly larger than on the 2019 Spectre x360 15 (12 x 6 cm). Its surface is smoother than on most other clickpads even when gliding at very slow speeds. We can observe no cursor jumping or responsiveness issues.

The integrated mouse keys are shallow in travel with weak feedback despite the high-pitched auditory click. While we wouldn't call it spongy, it's nothing special or noteworthy, either.

Display

Two display options are available: 1080p or 4K UHD Dolby Vision HDR. Both are glossy with the promise of 500 nits to be nearly as bright as the new MacBook Pro 16. The BOE HF NE156QUM-N55 IPS panel here also offers faster response times than the AU Optronics panel on the HP Spectre x360 15 for less noticeable ghosting. It's a high quality panel with minimal uneven backlight bleeding and a comparable contrast ratio to flagship alternatives.

* ... smaller is better

Color space covers approximately 92 percent and 58 percent of the sRGB and AdobeRGB standards, respectively, to be comparable to the 4K UHD panel on the late 2019 HP Spectre x360 15. Users who want even deeper and more accurate colors should consider other laptops with Sharp IGZO or OLED options like the Razer Blade 15 or Dell XPS 15.

Further measurements with an X-Rite colorimeter show good grayscale and colors out of the box. Color temperature, however, is slightly too cool at just over 7000. Our own calibration addresses this for a slightly more accurate display.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
27.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14.8 ms rise
↘ 12.4 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 64 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
40.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 18 ms rise
↘ 22 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 58 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18100 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is better than on most other Ultrabooks due to the brighter backlight of the Lenovo. Still, be prepared for glare because of the glossy screen. Working under shade remains the best option if outdoors.

Viewing angles are wide with no major degradation in contrast or colors unless if viewing from extreme angles.

Performance

The Core H-series CPU and GeForce Max-Q GPU target performance users who may need more power than the typical Ultrabook with the Core U-series CPU and integrated GPU only. Unlike the highly configurable HP Spectre x360 15 or Dell XPS 15, the Lenovo Yoga Y740 15 carries fewer SKUs with only Core i7 and GTX 1650 Max-Q options for now.

Nvidia Optimus comes standard for automatic switching to the integrated UHD Graphics 630. Note that the GPU is the slower GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q version and not the standard GTX 1650 even though the official Lenovo product page makes no mention of this.

LatencyMon shows no DPC latency issues even when wireless is enabled.

Processor

CineBench results are within 1 to 4 percent of the average Core i7-9750H in our database taken from 70 other gaming laptops. Users upgrading from the Core i7-8750H shouldn't expect too big of a jump, but owners of any Core i5 or older Core i7-7700HQ laptops will see more significant gains in CPU performance.

Performance sustainability is imperfect but still respectable. When running CineBench R15 Multi-Thread in a loop, the initial score of 1138 points drops to about 1060 points over time to represent a performance dip of about 7 percent when under extreme processing stress.

See our dedicated page on the Core i7-9750H for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

System Performance

PCMark results are within single-digit percentages of other laptops with the same Core i7-9750H CPU and GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU. The pricier Dell XPS 15 edges out our Lenovo in each sub category due to its faster non-Max-Q GTX 1650 GPU and Core i9 CPU.

We experienced no software or hardware issues during our time with the test unit. Because of Connected Standby, however, power consumption and surface temperatures can be much higher than usual when the lid is closed.

Storage Devices

Only one internal storage bay is available. Our test unit comes equipped with the high-end Samsung PM981 instead of a lesser SK Hynix or Intel part which is surprising for an IdeaPad laptop. Sequential read and write rates average about 1800 MB/s and 1500 MB/s, respectively, according to AS SSD.

See our table of SSDs and HDDs for more performance comparisons.

GPU Performance

The GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q is Nvidia's slowest GTX GPU based on the Turing architecture. Raw performance is still excellent relatively speaking; 3DMark results are only 14 to 26 percent slower than the older mobile GTX 1060 or about 10 percent slower than our desktop GTX 1650 reference.

Gaming Performance

Most games run very well at 1080p not unlike on the mobile GTX 1060. Reaching 60+ FPS is possible so long as most graphical settings are reduced. Don't expect to have a good experience if running demanding titles at the native 4K UHD resolution.

Idling on Witcher 3 for over an hour shows consistent frame rates over time to suggest no recurring frame dips or interrupting background activity in contrast to what we observed on the late 2019 HP Spectre x360 15.

See our dedicated page on the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q for more technical information and benchmarks.

Emissions

System Noise

The cooling solution consists of dual fans and two heat pipes between them shared across both processors. Though silent when the system is idling or video streaming on the Power Saver profile, the fans tend to pulse frequently when launching applications. Running the first benchmark scene of 3DMark 06, which only lasts for 90 seconds, is already enough to cause the fans to run at their maximum noise level of 45 dB(A).

Fan noise remains steady at about 43.9 dB(A) when running Witcher 3 to be quieter and louder than the XPS 15 and Spectre x360 15, respectively, when under similar gaming conditions. We can notice very slight coil whine or electronic noise from our test unit.

Temperature

Surface temperatures when idling on desktop are far too warm with hot spots approaching 41 C as shown by the temperature maps below. In comparison, the Spectre x360 15 with GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q graphics tops out at just 29 C when idling on desktop. The high surface temperature of the Lenovo correlates with the unusually high idling power consumption as detailed in the Power Consumption section below.

If gaming, surface temperatures can reach over 40 C or even 50 C if under extreme processing conditions. The fans are more active when under these demanding conditions whereas they are silent when the system is idling.

Stress Test

We stress the laptop with synthetic loads to identify for any potential throttling or stability issues. When running Prime95, clock rates would spoke to 4 GHz for the first few seconds before stabilizing at 3.2 to 3.3 GHz for the next few minutes. Thereafter, clock rates would fall even further to the 2.9 to 3 GHz range in order to maintain a stable core temperature of 87 C. Running both Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously will cause clock rates and temperatures for both the CPU and GPU to cycle indefinitely as shown by the screenshots and table below.

When running Witcher 3, CPU clock rates would cycle between 3 GHz and 4.1 GHz while CPU and GPU temperatures would cycle as well. GPU clock rate, however, remains stable at 1570 MHz to ensure stable frame rates even if core temperatures are fluctuating.

Running on battery will limit performance. A 3DMark 11 run on batteries returns Physics and Graphics scores of 9712 and 10002 points, respectively, compared to 12713 and 11991 points when on mains.

Speakers

Audio from the stereo speakers is relatively balanced for a laptop with decent bass reproduction. The HP Spectre offers both a louder and fuller audio experience as exemplified by its broader pink noise graph. Maximum volume introduces no static or vibrations on the palm rests.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Power consumption behavior during low loads is unusual and undesirable. Idling on desktop consumes anywhere between 28 W and 32 W compared to only 5 W to 24 W on most other multimedia laptops. Furthermore, power consumption remains very high at 27 W when the lid is closed and put to "Sleep" mode likely due to Windows Connected Standby.

Fortunately, power consumption becomes more normal when under higher loads. Running Witcher 3, for example, consumes about 90 W to be very close to the Yoga C940 15 equipped with the same CPU and GPU. Perhaps not coincidentally, the Maingear Vector 15 gaming laptop with the GTX 1660 Ti GPU consumes about 77 percent more power for 77 percent higher 3DMark benchmark results.

We're able to record a maximum consumption of 139 W from the medium-sized (~14.4 x 6.3 x 3 cm) 135 W AC adapter. Consumption cycles when under such high processing loads as shown by our graphs below to reflect our Stress Test observations above.

Battery Life

The 69 Wh battery is larger than the one in the older Yoga 730-15IKB while being smaller than the batteries in both the Dell XPS 15 and Spectre x360 15. Battery life is otherwise excellent at just over 9 hours of real-world WLAN use.

Charging with the included AC adapter is extremely slow. Expect to wait between 4 to 5 hours if recharging from empty to full capacity compared to just 1.5 to 2 hours of most other laptops. Furthermore, the system cannot be recharged via USB Type-C.

Verdict

In review: Lenovo IdeaPad Y740-15IRH
In review: Lenovo IdeaPad Y740-15IRH

The Lenovo IdeaPad S740 is a blend of mid-range and high-end parts. The Core i7 CPU, GeForce GTX GPU, bright 4K UHD display, Samsung SSD, dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, and narrow bezels rival the Dell XPS 15 and HP Spectre x360 15 that Lenovo is trying to emulate. Meanwhile, the shallow keyboard, limited port options, and relatively flexible chassis are more reflective of an inexpensive IdeaPad. The Lenovo costs a bit less than the Dell and HP if configured with the same Core i7-9750H CPU and GTX 1650/1650 Max-Q GPU, but you'll get an inferior typing experience and weaker design out of it.

When compared to other IdeaPad models, however, the S740 is easily the top of its class in terms of both visuals and performance. It's got the power of an entry-level gaming machine without the bulkiness or gaudy appearance that are commonly associated with them. Thus, the system strikes a better balance between gaming, office, travel, and price than many other alternatives in its price range.

More expensive than your typical IdeaPad while being less expensive than the Dell XPS or HP Spectre. The IdeaPad S740 is for those who want the performance of a high-end multimedia machine without sacrificing too much in the visuals and portability departments.
