Reviews for the Lenovo Ideapad S340-14API-81NB0045GE
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
For a sub £300-price, the IdeaPad S340 is an excellent budget laptop giving you a decent amount of style and features. You get a nice keyboard, long battery life and good set of ports. Performance is what you would expect so you will be limited to basic tasks at this entry-level, so look for a more powerful model if that's an issue. The main downside here is the poor screen, though.

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.
