  • A great mid-range laptop that looks good and has an affordable price tag too. You'll compromise on battery life and a touchscreen but for a budget buy it's very good.Overall Score: 76/100RATINGS:Ease of use: 5/5Design: 4/5Performance: 3.5/5Instructions: 3...

  • The IdeaPad 520s is a nice all-round compact laptop that won't break the bank for you. It's built well, it looks nice, it gets a good keyboard, proper sized battery and the hardware to support everyday chores and even gaming and some demanding loads. The...

  • Sturdy and fairly portable, Good input devices, The display doesn't use PWM above 68% brightness (65 cd/m2), 14-inch form factor with M.2 SSD slot, 2.5-inch HDD/SSD bay and upgradable RAM, Outstanding battery life
  • Display with narrow sRGB coverage and low maximum brightness
  • Hands-down, the Ideapad 520s is one of the best budget-oriented 14-inch notebooks with little to no trade-offs. It has stable construction, comfortable input devices and fairly portable dimensions thanks to the thin bezels around the screen giving that 20...

  • The Lenovo Ideapad 520S may not be the most exciting and interesting laptop you can buy, but that's alright. While you're sure to find more excitement from a Yoga laptop or any decent gaming machine, you might even find the Lenovo Ideapad 520S a bit borin...
