Lenovo IdeaPad 720S

 

Lenovo IdeaPad 720S review: An excellent mid-range 14-inch Ultrabook with a slim design and good screen

Slim, stylish, all-metal exterior ; Great screen ; Excellent overall performance ; Good connectivity

Nvidia graphics not necessary for all ; 14-inch form factor adds weight

Not the slimmest or lightest laptop around, but an all-metal design, great screen, plenty of performance and good battery life combine to make the Lenovo IdeaPad 720S an excellent option for its price.

Lenovo IdeaPad 720S review

 

A compact laptop with plenty of power

Great overall performance ; Beautiful design ; Discrete graphics offers extra options

Slightly awkward keyboard ; Middling battery life ; Loud fan

Tight bezel, decent CPU, and dedicated graphics, all crammed in to an almost impossibly small slimline aluminium case. Nice.

Lenovo Ideapad 720s-13ARR laptop review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Lenovo Ideapad 720s might not be the cheapest prospect, but it has a pleasingly slim frame and has a styling that appears almost Apple-esque. Of course, looks aren't everything. So can this laptop deliver when it comes to browsing, spreadsheets and...

Lenovo IdeaPad 720s (13-Inch)

 

The IdeaPad 720s is a light, powerful, and customizable ultraportable that is reasonably priced.

Very customizable. Thin and light. Sturdy keyboard. Excellent full HD matte display. Thunderbolt support. Inexpensive.

No touch screen. Touchpad feels flimsy. Muddy sound.

Bottom Line: The 13-inch Lenovo IdeaPad 720s is a light, powerful, and customizable ultraportable that won't break the bank.

Lenovo IdeaPad 720s-13ARR (Ryzen 7 2700U, RX Vega 10) Laptop Review

 

With the handbrake left on. The Lenovo IdeaPad 720s-13ARR is a 13.3-inch notebook with a sleek, slim keyboard, a backlit keyboard and an NVMe SSD. Unfortunately, neither the processor nor the battery life lives up to expectations. Find out in this...

matte IPS display ; Full HD resolution ; stylish, slim case ; NVMe SSD ; thin bezels

the processor cannot reach its full potential ; the soldered RAM runs in single-channel mode ; few input devices ; average battery life ; no card reader ; average Wi-Fi speeds

The Lenovo IdeaPad 720s-13ARR is a solid device, but its poor cooling solution and TDP settings mean that it cannot fully exploit either its APU or its GPU. Worse still, Lenovo has limited the device to run in single-channel mode. This limits GPU...

Lenovo Ideapad 720S-13IKB (i5-8250U, UHD 620) Laptop Review

 

Ultra-mobile office performance. Lenovo calls the new IdeaPad 720s an "extremely high-performance and stylish power package." Even though we would not quite call it that, the performance is still impressive for a notebook that is only 13 mm (~0.51 in)...

very light ; very thin ; good cooling system ; long battery life ; almost bezel-less display

few connections ; hardly any maintenance options ; only single-channel RAM is available

The IdeaPad 720s by Lenovo is a very light and ultra-slim notebook for everyday office work. As one of the few devices in our test, the IdeaPad 720s is able to maintain its performance consistently and without drops. Even under extreme conditions, the...
