Lenovo IdeaPad 120S-11IAP review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Lenovo Ideapad 120S-11IAP is every inch a budget laptop, coming in at under £200 and with specs that will keep your socks resolutely unblown off. However, there's certainly space room for cheaper laptops, especially if they're halfway decent, so...

Lenovo IdeaPad 120s

 

Lenovo's petite IdeaPad 120S is a budget ultraportable that offers good-for-the-cost performance, but you can find better screens and keyboards by stepping up to the next highest class.

Low, low price. USB-C and HDMI ports.

Only 2GB of memory. Narrow viewing angles. Test unit wouldn't take micro SD cards.

Bottom Line: Lenovo's petite IdeaPad 120S is a budget ultraportable that offers good-for-the-cost performance, but you can find better screens and keyboards by stepping up to the next highest class.

Lenovo Ideapad 120s (11-inch) Notebook Review

 

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?

attractive design ; pleasant keyboard ; light and compact chassis ; fanless and noiseless operation ; all USB ports are rated at 3.0 speeds

non-existent maintenance options ; weak CPU performance ; 2 GB of RAM is extremely limited and cripples system performance ; very limited and slow storage

The 11.6-inch Lenovo Ideapad 120s checks many of the same boxes as its big brother and comes with many of the same compromises. The biggest difference, outside of size, is the limited 2 GB of RAM found in the smaller machine. In real-world use, this...

Lenovo Ideapad 120s review: Low price and as expected Celeron performance

 

The Lenovo Ideapad 120s is a low budget, entry level laptop for the price conscious. The 120s can do anything that a more expensive laptop will do, it will just take longer to get it done.

Low Price ; Nice looking design ; Battery life as advertised

Slow performance ; Typical laptop speakers ; Celeron processor isn't the best

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...
