Lenovo Ideapad 120s-11IAP
The Lenovo Ideapad 120s-11IAP is an entry-level laptop. The IdeaPad is great for those with basic needs, but that is as far as it goes. It can satisfy light users who casually browse the internet, check emails and occasionally watch online videos. Despite being a rectangular shaped laptop, Lenovo has managed to add some interest to the shape of the Ideapad 120s with nicely beveled edges and a nice matte finish. The Lenovo logo is stamped on the top in the same color but with a glossy finish. This lends more interest to the look of the laptop without going overboard with bright colors or chrome. The Lenovo Ideapad 120s has a screen resolution of 1366 x 768, and the screen measures 11.6″ in the diagonal. The screen size is fine for a laptop that will be used on the go, and the text looks clear and smooth. A user can adjust the brightness from very dark to very bright, depending on lighting conditions. However, the colors are very muted, and everything seems to be a bit muddy. The screen is definitely useable, just do not expect a breathtaking visual experience with the Lenovo Ideapad 120s.
The IdeaPad 120s' Celeron N3350 CPU and 2 GB of RAM make it suited for monotasking rather than multitasking. The paltry 2 GB of RAM rule out multitasking; running more than a few applications at a time can freeze the machine. The Celeron CPU can handle basic office and home tasks, but struggles with anything else. Users should expect some kind of performance throttling during extended workloads, too. Speaking of storage, the eMMC flash storage of 64 GB is about average for this price point. 64 GB is not a lot to begin with; considering that about 7 GB are reserved for the operating system, there is not a lot of room left for the end user. Users can expect about five hours of regular use on a single charge, which is impressive for a budget laptop. It has something to do with the low-end processor and other power-efficient internals. Five hours is a good chunk of time, for sure, with the screen brightness set to 100%. It is recommended to dim the screen, if the user wants it to last a full workday. The TrackPad works fine, and the keyboard is comfortable. There are plenty of ports for all your needs, along with one USB 3.0 with always-on charging. Along the left side of the Lenovo Ideapad 120s, there are a USB-C, HDMI, USB-3.0, and the charging port. The right side houses a reset button, a Micro-SD card reader, a headphone jack, and another USB-C port. The speakers are located on the bottom of the unit. The sound the speakers produce leaves a lot to be desired.

Smaller size, bigger value. The 11-inch Lenovo Ideapad 120s carries over many of the same facets of its 14-inch brother in a more compact case. However, with half the RAM and a smaller body, can it keep up with the larger model?

In conclusion, we can say that IdeaPad 120S is a very good laptop model that combines in itself stylish construction and budget hardware which can handle your daily tasks. It is not made for people in need of a powerful CPU or GPU, super display and incredibly firm corpus but it’s rather aimed at users that don’t want or cannot spend huge sums on a mobile computer and at the same time want to have such. The laptop is a great combination of small size, low price and budget hardware.

The Lenovo Ideapad 120s is a low budget, entry-level laptop for the price conscious. The 120s can do almost anything that a more expensive laptop will do to be sure. Just be aware that it will take more time to do it and not look near as good doing it as its higher-priced siblings. If you are in the market for a budget laptop and don’t mind sacrificing speed and a beautiful screen to get a lower price, the Lenovo Ideapad 120s may be a good choice.

The IdeaPad is great for those with basic needs, but that's as far as it goes. Unless your budget is capped at $200, you should really know what you're getting into. Let's go over the positives first. With its minimalist look and lightweight body, it looks more like expensive than it really is. It's the kind of laptop you wouldn't mind bringing to an important meeting or a college lecture. While we love the awesome battery life and low price, we had a few issues with the trade offs.

If you casually browse the internet, check your email and occasionally watch online videos, spending $179.99 on the IdeaPad 120S (11”) makes a lot of sense. It’s not missing anything essential to getting basic tasks done – provided you’re willing to do them one at a time instead of working in a half-dozen apps and switching between them.

Comment
Lenovo: Lenovo ( "Le" as in the English word legend and "novo" (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. From 2004, the company has been the largest laptop manufacturer in China and got the fourth largest manufacturer worldwide after the acquisition of IBM's PC division in 2005. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company also produces monitors, projectors, servers, etc.
In 2011, Lenovo acquired the majority of Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Lenovo took over Motorola Mobility, which gave them a boost in the smartphone market.
From 2014 to 2016 Lenovo's market share in the global notebook market was 20-21%, ranking second behind HP. However, the distance decreased gradually. In the smartphone market, Lenovo did not belong to the Top 5 global manufacturers in 2016.
