Lenovo - IdeaPad S340 15" Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 3700U - 12GB Memory - 512GB Solid State Drive - Abyss Blue

everything about this laptop is amazing. from the light-up keyboard to touchscreen!! browsing the web and playing games runs smoothly! :)

I bought this laptop for my daughter as a Christmas gift. She is using it for light gaming and for schoolwork. It is running Minecraft and Sims4 perfectly. The track/touchpad is customizable and works well. The backlit keyboard works very well and is very responsive and easy to operate. She had been using an iPad for distance learning during the pandemic so this is a big upgrade and she’s finding it incredibly more efficient to using Word to do schoolwork. Of course she could use our desktop before but she likes to be able to work on the couch and in her room. The screen size is nice and large for such a light and slender machine, making working around the house or odd locations no problem at all. It is also a nice touch do you have the touchscreen and it works very well. With the 12 GB of RAM it has enough memory for lighter gaming applications, and definitely enough memory to multitask with several different programs open. All in all, for the price paid, it was a very good deal on an extremely competent machine. We got it during a cyber Monday promotion, and an open box return which made the deal even better, but I don’t see any reason why this laptop isn’t worth the regular retail price. She’s dropped it a few times already and it’s obtained a few scratches in the plastic, but it’s going to be a canvas for stickers anyway, and seems to be a very durable machine thus far.

This laptop is absolutely amazing. I bought this for my wife for Christmas and I liked it so much, I decided to buy one for myself lol. this is our 2nd & 3rd lenovo laptops, my 1st one still works great just decided to upgrade since these were on sale. note- take it out of S mode! that way you can download whatever program you want on it. also, make sure you do all of the updates BEFORE you take it out of S mode for a smooth transition. overall this is a great fast laptop with a ton of features. touchscreen, backlit keyboard, and SSD are a must now a days and they all work great. the screen is crystal clear also.

Overall seems to be a decent computer for my 6th grader’s eLearning. HOWEVER I cannot stand the power cord! It is the most poorly designed thing I’ve seen in a very long time! LENOVO PLEASE FIX IT! First, it is way too short. You have to be practically on top of the outlet. Now, if you are like most of us and have 5 people in the house on computers, you are using a dining room table for someone. This does not even reach the wall outlet from my dining room table, which is close to the wall. I need an extension cord. Ridiculous! Also, instead of a slim rectangular shape in the middle of the cord, they chose to use a large square shape and stick it on the very end so it has to be plugged into the wall. The darn thing is so heavy it weighs down and pulls the plug out of the outlet. And it’s hard to use the 2nd outlet when this monster is plugged in! Now, I could buy a different power cord for say $50 but why should I have to? FIX THE POWER CORD LENOVO!

Great computer. Very sleek and definitely a work horse. I have worked from home for many years and am on my computers 12 hours a day almost 7 days a week. I spilled my coffee on my last computer a few months ago and I was devastated. I thought about upgrading to an even better one but I realized in all the time I had my computer I never had any complaints, so I purchased it again - this one! 2nd Lenovo Ideal Pad and I am hooked! Affordable, great computer.

I love everything about this AMD Ryzen Lenovo Laptop except one thing that may not bother you I write about at the end. But I am keeping it. It's a great value. I am typing this review on it now. I subjected this laptop to a battery of tests in the 1st 2 weeks to make sure it was a keeper: 1. NovaBench read and write speed: Pass. AMD Was significantly faster than my Lenovo I7 Laptop. 2. Color and Animation Generation: This laptop maintained better true color than Intel and my 2020 MacBook Pro. Macbook Pro had slightly sharper contrast but MacBook Pro was 2x+ the cost of this Laptop. 3. Reading screen sharpness--Sharper than Lenovo Intel and same sharpness as MacBook. 4. Startup--Instantaneous SSD Harddrive. 5. Keyboard: Lights up--you can turn lights on and off. Love the lights and the keyboard feel! 6. Audio: Excellent--you won't get better on a laptop. 7. Speed over Wifi opening unique website pages. I cleared the cache and opened up over 1000 different websites (cleaning up my bookmarks folder.) over 3 days of reviewing. It opens fast with no stall. Just one time it dropped the WiFi and I had to sign in again, but not sure why that happened? 8. Battery power retention. Overnight on standby for 12 hours--loss of max 4% of battery. I did not conduct a battery only usage test. That will depend on too many factors different for everyone. 9. Longevity and Reliability: Don't know--only had 2 weeks. 10. Touchpad: It is fine--not the best I have used--not the worst. I prefer to have separate click tabs and not built into the pad--too confusing but no new laptops have that anymore. I use an Logitech M317 optical Mouse most of the time--best Mouse ever made. 10a: Touchscreen: Excellent--best I have seen--use it all the time. Perfect tracking. 11. USB's: Super fast data transfer. 12. Date of Manufacture: November 2020--so fairly current. Country of Manufacture: China Overall Quality: Fine--On it's own its Fine. There are some little quality things I don't like but its a cheap laptop. If you compare it to a $1800 MacBook Pro--the Mac is far superior in build quality. (but Mac is much heavier). 13. Overall Value: Excellent. I don't see how you can go wrong with this laptop. What I did not like but still keeping it: DOES NOT HAVE A SECURITY LOCK HOLE. There is no way to lock it. I live in an area that is Very high theft and I always locked my laptop when I left home. Can't do it with this computer! Only thing I hate about it. Every other Laptop I owned had a security lock hole--this one does not.

Totally trouble free. A true dream machine. Returned a former purchase and got this one after reviewing the specs and my niece has a Lenovo and loves it. Highly recommended.

I have been looking for a nice laptop for some time. After looking around this was a great deal for a first time purchase of a product like this. This has alot of benefits that can do alot of things that a computer can do. I am really enjoying this product. It's better than I ever thought.
