One of Lenovo’s already cheap entry-level multimedia laptops is now even cheaper this week at Office Depot down to just $470 USD. Though the 15.6-inch IdeaPad S340 deal won’t net you a luxurious Yoga experience, the specifications and size are nonetheless respectable considering the low asking price.
The configuration comes with a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS display, Intel Core i5-1035G1 CPU, 8 GB of removable DDR4 RAM, 256 GB storage, Wi-Fi 5, SD reader, and a backlit keyboard. There is even space to add a secondary internal storage drive. In comparison, most other 15.6-inch laptops in the sub $500 range typically come with slower Core i3 Celeron CPUs, lower resolution TN displays, and no keyboard backlight.
In our full review of the IdeaPad S340 15, we found the system to be easily upgradeable and with good display quality for the price. However, the small battery and middling CPU performance for a Core i5 may turn off some power users.
