Which Lenovo laptop is better to buy?

Lenovo releases products every year that attract the attention of millions of customers around the world. Its models are sometimes distinguished by unique technical innovations. Thus, in 2021, the company introduced the world's first laptop with a flexible screen. The release of the foldable PC is scheduled for 2021. In addition, laptops with the new generation of Intel Ice Lake processors are expected to be released.

It’s difficult to even count the number of Lenovo laptops already released, since the company produces products for all users - from beginners to gamers and advanced professionals.

In order not to get confused in all the variety of laptops, keep this cheat sheet with a description of the main Lenovo lines:

ThinkPads are laptops for professionals, characterized by long battery life, reliability and an excellent, high-precision keyboard that is considered one of the most comfortable.
IdeaPad is a basic line that includes a large number of models for every taste. Both budget laptops and expensive equipment are presented here - it all depends on the configuration.
Yoga is a line of top-class convertible laptops with high-quality performance, long battery life and a carefully crafted design.
Legion is a special gaming line that combines a relatively reasonable price with high performance.

There is no point in going into more detail into the labeling of laptops of this brand. Any version of a laptop can be purchased in several modifications, differing in the type and amount of memory, amount of RAM and installed processor.

Well suited for regular work or study, with a full charge it operates for up to 6 hours.

The sensitive touchpad quickly responds to commands and gestures and does not freeze. There is a built-in fingerprint scanner.

Interestingly, one of the USB-A ports is capable of charging the battery even when the device is turned off, which allows you to charge your laptop without removing it from your backpack or bag.

RAM of 8-16 GB allows you to quickly process a large number of tasks, tabs, and applications. But in terms of total memory, the model is inferior to similar devices, but this does not prevent the use of drives or cloud storage.

The device is convenient to use due to the full-size keyboard with soft key travel and a sensitive touchpad.

The best low-cost and mid-budget Lenovo laptops

First, let's look at three inexpensive entry-level Lenovo laptops that are sufficient for everyday home or office use with moderate loads. We will not consider the middle price segment separately, since it is in fact represented by these same series, only equipped with more powerful processors, large RAM and data storage.

Lenovo IdeaPad S145

Rating: 4.9

Let's start with the most inexpensive option, which can be based on the IdeaPad S145 series. We say “compile”, since the number of possible modifications of this series exceeds all conceivable and inconceivable limits. You can adjust anything - processor, memory, type of video card, drive characteristics, even the matrix and its maximum resolution.

In order for the laptop package to remain as affordable as possible, when choosing, you need to start from the processor. The cheapest option is the AMD A4 9125. On this basis, no matter what you add to the package from the manufacturer, it will not affect the price too significantly, except, perhaps, for the matrix - you can choose between a resolution of HD 1366x768 and FullHD 1920 ×1080, but in any case it will be TN with its known disadvantages.

This model is equipped with a full-fledged, non-cut-off keyboard with a right-hand numeric keypad. This option is typical for all laptops with a screen 15 inches diagonal or larger. The dimensions of the case may vary depending on the final configuration in terms of width and depth, but the thickness is always the same - 19.9 mm. Weight is from 1.6 to 1.85 kg, that is, more than acceptable. The design is minimalistic, “modern classic”, but there is still a highlight - the developers managed to minimize the thickness of the frames, so the laptop even looks somewhat “expensive”.

Next, we will consider the minimum configuration with the most affordable price. In terms of RAM, ready-to-sell modifications are offered with a capacity of 4 or 8 GB, but this is not a physical limit, and if desired, the machine can be upgraded in the future up to 12 GB. The hard drive can be selected from solid state from 128GB or mechanical from 512GB. You can have a couple of hard drives of both types, but such a configuration will cost significantly more.

With communications, the developers here did what typical ultrabooks do. There is no wired network card, and you can only connect to networks via Wi-Fi. Wired interfaces - USB 2.0 on the classic Type A socket and two more Type A sockets, but of the USB 3.1 standard, HDMI video output and a standard 4-pin 3.5 mm minijack for a headset.

The battery of this model is average, consisting of two cells with a total capacity for power consumption of 30 to 35 Wh. But it provides good autonomy - enough for 4 hours of operation in normal mode and up to 6 hours in energy-saving mode.

Advantages

thin screen frames;
FullHD screen resolution;
SSD hard drive with the ability to be used in conjunction with a mechanical HDD;
nice minimalistic design;
good autonomy;
many modifications;
amenable to flexible upgrade.

Flaws

TN matrix with narrow viewing angles;
no wired network card.

Lenovo Ideapad L340-15

Rating: 4.8

Let's continue with a slightly more advanced series, which, like the previous one, is replete with options for various modifications, but the starting conditions gently hint that there is already a point in collecting something more serious. In terms of cost, if you build a configuration based on an Intel Core i3 processor, you can fit in 35-36 thousand rubles as of October 2021.

In terms of dimensions, the situation here is the opposite when compared with the previous model - the width and depth are fixed 363x254.6 mm, and the thickness varies from 22.9 to 23.9 mm depending on the “filling”. The design is the same minimalistic, the numeric keypad on the right is present and corresponds to the screen size of 15 inches diagonally.

The second significant difference is the presence of a wired gigabit network card and a more advanced set of interfaces. So, here we have two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, one USB 3.1 port on a modern Type-C socket. There are also two classic Type A sockets for USB 3.0 interfaces. There is a standard combo output for a 3.5 mm audio headset. Last but not least, the thickness of the laptop is explained by such an interface kit.

In terms of resolution, the matrix in this series can also be selected with either HD or FullHD resolution, but in order to stay within an acceptable price range, you will have to be content with TN technology with its poor angles. The IPS matrix is also available in a number of modifications, but the price will increase significantly.

The RAM configuration is standard - 4 or 8 GB in the factory version, and the upgrade ceiling is significantly higher than that of the IdeaPad S145 - 16 GB. It is also possible to install a discrete video card. Some trading platforms already consider this circumstance sufficient to position the laptop as a gaming laptop, but such bold statements should not be taken seriously.

There are also any options for equipping a hard drive. The minimum option is a 128 GB solid-state drive or a 512 GB mechanical HDD. The maximum is not fundamentally limited in any way, you can install a fast, small and inexpensive SSD for the operating system, plus a large mechanical HDD for data, but in total such a kit will lead to a significant increase in price.

The Ideapad L340's battery life is noticeably better. The 3900 mAh battery is not very impressive at first glance, but in combination with good system optimization and economical consumption, the operating time from a full charge can reach 8 or even 9 hours in energy-saving mode with a moderate load.

Another feature of this series is the presence of a FW TPM 2.0 trust platform cryptochip for fast and reliable data encryption.

Advantages

reliability and reliability;
cryptochip FW TPM 2.0;
there is a wired gigabit network card;
modifications with discrete video cards;
set of interfaces;
decent autonomy;
can be upgraded in a wide range;
there are USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C ports;
ratio of price and capabilities.

Flaws

very short charging/power cable;
TN matrix with narrow viewing angles (in the minimum configuration).

Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15

Rating: 4.8

The top three of the best low-cost and mid-budget Lenovo laptops according to Expertology magazine will be completed by a super popular series that honestly deserves some kind of “user choice award.” The manufacturer also offers many possible combinations of equipment, and you can fit in even 30 thousand rubles, but we will consider a slightly more interesting and productive modification no more expensive than 45 thousand rubles as of October 2021.

The dimensions of the laptop case are 362.2x253.4x19.9 mm, the weight, depending on the configuration, can vary from 1.7 to 1.85 kg. As you can see, the dimensions and weight of the laptop are quite standard, but its shape visually creates the impression of a thin and light ultrabook.

The optimal configuration in terms of performance and price can be selected based on a processor from the Intel Core i5 family or a comparable one from AMD Ryzen series. In this case, the price of the laptop will be in the range of 43-45 thousand rubles (October 2021). The minimum amount of RAM is 4GB, which can be expanded up to 12GB. The configuration of the data storage subsystem can also be selected to suit your needs and budget.

The screen parameters here can also be “tuned” when choosing a configuration, but for the described scheme and the indicated cost, a normal IPS matrix with a good FullHD 1920x1080 resolution is suitable.

In terms of interfaces, the layout is similar to the one in the Lenovo IdeaPad S145, where the main disadvantage is the lack of a wired network card. In terms of thickness, the laptop gained little from this, but those who need a wired connection are forced to resort to “crutches” in the form of USB adapters. On the other hand, wireless communication options here include top solutions - Bluetooth 5.0 for direct file transfer to devices and a new generation Wi-Fi module 802.11ax for full connectivity to networks at high speeds. Other interfaces: two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A ports, one USB 2.0 Type A, 3.5 mm combo output for a headset.

It is also worth praising the autonomy of this model, which is definitely pleasing. The standard battery can provide up to 7 hours of operation in moderate mode, and up to 11 hours “at minimum” if you turn off all communications (airplane mode) and reduce the screen brightness.

Everything in this model would be good if the manufacturer had not saved where there is nothing special to “unscrew” in terms of saving, namely, on the case material. The plastic here, if not obviously cheap, is clearly too thin. This leads to two problems at once - the keyboard clearly flexes when pressed, which is annoying; plus the screen frame does not hold up in any way in terms of strength, and with awkward movement the matrix bends dangerously.

Advantages

many modifications with different configurations to choose from;
decent performance at a reasonable price;
autonomy;
IPS matrix with maximum viewing angles;
Bluetooth 5.0;
optional - new generation Wi-Fi module 802.11ax;
there is a FW TPM 2.0 cryptochip;
successful design, creating the impression of thinness and lightness.

Flaws

weak body;
no wired network card.

1 | LENOVO YOGA 9I

Powerful and stylish 2 in 1.

pros:

Phenomenal performance;
Excellent battery life;
Stylus in a special compartment;

Minuses:

Expensive laptop;
Screen aspect ratio 16:9;

The Lenovo Yoga 9i comes with a stylish design backed by impressive specs. And by stylish, we mean a truly beautiful laptop. We rarely award laptops ten points in review results. The Intel Evo certification alone makes Lenovo's laptop worthy of this rating, and when you consider the powerful 11th-gen processor, integrated Iris Xe graphics, fast RAM, and SSD storage, the choice becomes clear. It also comes with a Lenovo Active Pen stylus to give you an efficient 2-in-1 hybrid design, with Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and a fingerprint scanner for biometric login.

2 | LENOVO YOGA C930

A 2-in-1 laptop with virtually no compromises.

Pros : Build quality | Robust Features | Working hours;
Cons : Weak graphics performance;

There's a lot to like about the Lenovo Yoga C930, which is why it holds up pretty high on our list of the best Lenovo laptops of 2021. For starters, Lenovo's premium portable laptop boasts excellent battery life, a robust selection of features, and a powerful design. This 14-inch laptop isn't going to make any compromises. Its graphics performance could be better, but what it lacks in graphics power it makes up for with an 8th-gen processor, a self-charging stylus, amazing speakers, and a bright screen. If you're looking for a reliable all-rounder, you'll be happy to pay the Lenovo Yoga C930's premium price tag.

3 | CHROMEBOOK LENOVO IDEAPAD DUET

The right look at what netbooks should have become.

Processor : MediaTek Helio P60T | Graphics : ARM G72 MP3 800 Hz | RAM : 4 GB LPDDR4X | Screen : 10.1-inch IPS FHD (1920 x 1200), glossy, touch, 400 nits | Physical memory : 64 GB eMMC.

Pros : Lightweight and portable | Opening hours | Affordable price tag;
Cons : Small keyboard | Charger and headphones in one port;

Is this a Chromebook or a tablet? Well, fortunately, you won't have to choose anymore. True to its name, this Lenovo Chromebook takes on two form factors, offering the versatility of Chrome OS and offering far more features than most top Windows tablets. Of course, as is typical of all Chromebooks, its battery provides an extremely long battery life - almost 22 hours - so you can work all night, then all day and some more in the evening, and you'll likely fall asleep before the laptop runs out of juice. Given the low price of the device, of course, the manufacturer had to make compromises - the keyboard is tiny, the touchpad is not reliable enough, and the charger and headphones share one port. However, if savings are your top priority, this is one of the best Lenovo laptops.

It's hard not to fall in love with the Lenovo Yoga C940, which is stunning inside and out. Its design is stunning, but the main factor is the IPS display, which can act as a tablet thanks to the 2 in 1 hybrid form factor, a seamless solution, the Active Pen is extremely pleasant to use on it, and the fingerprint scanner provides biometric authorization for easy access to the system. This is a luxurious laptop that will be the envy of everyone in the office. We just wish Lenovo could live up to its claimed 15 hours of battery life.

This is one of the best Lenovo laptops for you.

Which laptop is better - HP or Lenovo?

These two brands have been competing for many years due to their affordable prices and wide selection of models of various types.

However, HP laptops, at a similar cost to Lenovo, are significantly inferior in terms of equipment.

If we take the middle and expensive price segment of Lenovo, then you don’t have to worry about the durability of the device, but with HP the situation is different - breakdowns are more common here even with expensive representatives of the brand.

But there is good build quality, a well-thought-out cooling system and good performance for the price.

True, HP's customer service is again inferior in comparison with its competitor - Lenovo has more friendly service and warranty service.

The best Lenovo laptops

Popular Lenovo laptops
If we consider the exceptional features of this laptop model, the brand is known for producing reliable laptops that allow you to be confident in your work and not worry about performance. Laptops can offer a variety of interfaces and builds that can suit everyday consumers, teachers, and even executives.

The most preferred model series is the ThinkPad line, focused on mobility and practical use.

Lenovo has been fighting for market share for a long time and is a serious competitor to HP. At the same time, manufacturers are trying to improve their line of models, the most recommended among which are the previously mentioned options for executives, as well as Yoga, Essentials and Ideapad. The assemblies contain both models with Intel and AMD processors. And the unique design of the devices provides the ability to turn a laptop into a tablet for more practical use.

Which laptop is better - Asus or Lenovo?

If Lenovo clearly wins in comparison with HP, then in the case of the Asus brand it is almost impossible to give a simple answer.

Having compared similar models of competitors, we came to the conclusion that Asus wins in terms of reliability and processor power, but most models constantly want to add RAM.

Lenovo is not as beautiful in terms of assembly, but even with a weaker processor it works more stable than its competitor.

Again, in terms of autonomy, Asus is better; Lenovo cannot boast of 9-10 hours of work.

Therefore, we came to the conclusion that when choosing between these two brands, it is better to focus on the individual needs of the user.

Give preference to the device that is most suitable for solving your problems.

Comparison of popular lines of laptops from Asus and Lenovo

Before you choose which laptop is best to buy, it’s not superfluous to orient yourself not only on the hardware, but also on what kind of laptop computer you want and how much you are willing to pay for it. In each price segment, companies have their own lines of devices that meet certain customer requirements.

By purpose

If you want a universal device that will allow you to perform basic everyday tasks, allow you to play a little games, but nevertheless have a long battery life and will not be expensive... then such a laptop probably does not exist. Joke. Then you need to pay attention to the VivoBook line from Asus and the IdeaPad line in the case of Lenovo. These lines form the main backbone of all laptops from companies and are the most popular, often budget solutions. It is unlikely that you will be able to find the ideal car among them, but they will definitely cope with the above tasks.

If you like to travel a lot or just often take a laptop from home, if you like thin and multifunctional devices, then your choice is Zenbook from Asus and Yoga from Lenovo. These laptops are very light, thin and compact, they are distinguished by good case materials and long battery life, but it is worth considering that such devices use not very productive hardware.

For gamers, companies also have special lines of devices with which the user can enjoy demanding modern games. We are, of course, talking about ROG and Legion devices from Asus and Lenovo, respectively. Such laptops are distinguished by powerful discrete graphics, efficient processors and a very considerable cost.

Well, if you are a business shark, often go to meetings, conferences, and you need your laptop not only to work quickly, but also to look as presentable as possible, then your choice should definitely strive for the Lenovo ThinkPad and Asus ASUSPRO lines.

By price

We have already introduced you a little to price categories in the previous block of the article. All company lines are in one way or another divided into budget, medium and top segments. However, it is worth considering that this division is very conditional. Since sometimes individual laptops from the budget line can be quite expensive due to the configuration with high-performance hardware. And at the same time, a more premium line may not be so expensive due to the use of the minimum necessary components. However, in the question “Lenovo or Asus?” You should be aware of which specific segment this or that device belongs to, so that you can more correctly compare them on store shelves.

Asus's budget lines include the following series: E, FX/ZX and X. The cost of such laptops rarely exceeds $350. Lenovo's budget lines include the lines designated by the letters G and V. When we talk about Asus, the mid-budget segment should include a model such as the VivoBook, although sometimes its cost can fall into the budget segment and soar into the premium one. Lenovo's IdeaPad and Yoga lines can be considered the average model. And finally, premium laptops - we have ZenBook and ROG from Asus, as well as ThinkPad and Legion from Lenovo.
