Archive.org versionGood device, but not good enough for such a saturated market. Don’t get us wrong – it is great in many aspects. It is just the fact that most of the 14-inchers at this price point are better in the said area. For example – ASUS ZenBook 14 UX433 has a bigger performance output – both from the CPU and from the integrated GPU. On the other side, HP ProBook 440 G6 runs cooler – both on the inside and on the outside.

Archive.org versionThe Lenovo 530S is a fine laptop with an aluminum build and decent performance at an affordable price, but poor speakers and visuals do very little to help this one stand out from the competition.

Archive.org versionThe Lenovo Ideapad 530S' design reminds me of a monochrome painting you'd find in a contemporary art museum. There isn't much too it, and yet, it's mesmerizing. Every design cue feels like it has a purpose, adding up to a laptop that looks elegant and feels expensive. The Ideapad 530S is a laptop with premium looks and good performance for a not-so-premium price.

Archive.org versionThe Lenovo Ideapad 530S can be purchased from Lenovo’s online store directly. Our review unit retails for Rs. 74,999, which is a good price considering its build quality and specifications. It's not easily available on other popular e-commerce platforms yet, and the one listing we did find had a much higher price.

Archive.org versionLenovo IdeaPad 530S is definitely an update over the last year’s IdeaPad 520. You may not find any major changes in the hardware side of things until unless looked closely. On the inside, the device is one powerful computing machine that can handle most of your daily tasks like editing documents, browsing with several tabs open and can even let you play lightweight, not-so-graphic intensive games. However, a slight disappointment could be there for the battery performance.

Archive.org versionThe Lenovo IdeaPad is a fine device for processing word, image, and some light video. Its cool performance under load matches its cool metallic look. With a sharp display, mature styling, and precise touchpad, the IdeaPad 530S definitely marks a new high in Lenovo design.

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
» 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 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.
72.33%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
