Expert review by (which.co.uk)
The latest 14-inch Lenovo IdeaPad promises ‘effortless multi-tasking' and a portable design thanks to its latest Intel Core i5 processor and 1.5kg weight. With a tempting price and attractive design, this could be an ideal workhorse for students or...

Lenovo's IdeaPad 530S is a meat-and-potatoes, middle-of-the-road laptop that's elevated by a slim chassis and long battery life.
Lean chassis. Long battery life and fast recharge. Dependable (if not hair-swept-back) performance.
Dim display, even at the brightest settings. Fan kicks on at unpredictable times. Intrusive bloatware, security trials.
Bottom Line: Lenovo's IdeaPad 530S is a meat-and-potatoes, middle-of-the-road laptop that's elevated by a slim chassis and long battery life.

Display could be more colorful; Speakers aren't great

Expert review by (laptopmedia.com)
Recently, we tried out the budget Ideapad 330s series. After that, we were able to get our hands on the Ideapad 730S (Yoga S730 in some regions) and we were astonished by the physical differences b…
Fairly good price;Doesn’t use PWM to adjust screen brightness (LG LP140WF8-SPP1 (LGD0599));Relatively cool on the outside;Fast fingerprint scanner;First class input devices;QHD display option
Glass-equipped model is back-heavy, which results in disbalance of the laptop;Covers only 54% of sRGB (LG LP140WF8-SPP1 (LGD0599));Low maximum brightness
