Tested! Lenovo IdeaPad S340 Laptop Review By Digit

Hey hi welcome back to digit daughter. My name is big name now then, who had three important IdeaPad launches this year and that included vs 145, it's the cheapest ones like here, and then there was the S 540, it's the most expensive of the three laptops you see here and then, of course, there was ds3 40 and that's the mid-range err. We're going to take a look at today. Okay, then, before we start up the performance of the laptop, let's see what's inside the SD 40, it comes with an intel, 18, co, I, 5, CPU, 8gb of RAM and a solid state actually I'm. Sorry, this one comes the hard drive. Well, you see every other variant on then, whose website comes with a solid-state drive, but this one alone came to the hard drive.

Let's see how the performance was anyway, everyday performance on the review unit can best be termed decent. It was apparent that the devices speed was limited greatly by its hard drive, a cold boot to Windows 10 lock screen, took somewhere between one and two minutes getting to the desktop took another full minute. From that point, opening File Explorer for the first time took about three and a half seconds: opening a 1 MB PNG file in photos for the first time to close to 9 seconds and up to 2 seconds subsequently bringing up the Start menu took about 2 seconds on an average draws into a Chrome window with over a dozen open tabs was fairly stood, but switching between the tabs or other windows took some time. Every time I switched between windows, I noticed a second lag in the window, switcher on the whole, the Ida pad s340 never really started or hiccup, but displayed ample lag when there was this activity involved. It's why this model is best bought with one of those solid-state drive options that Lenovo offers on its official website.

In simpler words, the sluggish hard drive inside just ruins, the otherwise promising performance party on the IdeaPad s340. Let's move on to battery on our everyday tests, where the screen is set to 80 percent brightness and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled the review nuts charge fell from 100% to 55 in exactly three hours during the tests. The IdeaPad s340 was tasked with continuous browsing and constant music playback through USB headphones on another such run, with a slightly heavier load. The charge felt from 100 to 45% in the same three-hour time frame charging from 30% back to full, took about 1 and a half hours. Well, what about the display? Our review unit featured a 14-inch non-touchscreen TN panel with a full HD resolution and an anti glare finish.

Colors on the panel appear thoroughly washed out in all brightness settings at some angles. They even appear to have a reddish tinge. What's more, both vertical and horizontal viewing angles was severely limited. This made text quite hard to read, even if the font size wasn't too small on the bright side, Tech's did not look grainy the way it did on the idea.5S 1:45 screen I found myself pushing the brightness all the way to the panel's maximum of two hundred twenty minutes on many occasions, even when I was indoors, all things considered, the area PI DES 340 is displayed is a solely disappointing unit because it lacks color and readability. The IdeaPad s 340 comes with two down firing.

Speakers on either side of its base panel, the sound through them, is fairly loud, but flat and uninspiring. The weekends star boy sounded absolutely flat across all frequencies. On our review unit on the plus side, the max volume was enough to fill a large content room. This pair, then, is best used for short occasional YouTube watches and quick conference calls. If you want quality audio, it's best to invest in a pair of good headphones.

The IdeaPad sv40 does not disappoint. When it comes to connectivity on the left side of its body, we see a proprietary round, pin power port, a full size, HDMI port, a USB-C 3.1 port and a 3.5 mm audio jack for headsets. On the right side, we see a couple of USB 3.1 ports and a full size SD card reader. Slot missing in action are the LAN port, fingerprint scanner and Kensington security slot. Interestingly, the IdeaPad s340 comes with a physical privacy shutter for each 720p webcam.

That means you won't have to on sticking a piece of tape or the webcam lens for that added peace of mind. This is the cheapest lino. Yet to get the privacy shut up until now, the feature has only been available in more expensive ThinkPad models. Let's move on to the keyboard. The keyboard on the IdeaPad SC 40 is no different from the one on the IdeaPad 330s from last year, and that's definitely a good thing, because the unit wasn't bad.

To start with, the keys possess a decent amount of resistance, but could do with a bit more travel being a bit mushy. They could do with a bit more clicking us as well. That said, they work well for long emails and documents. All the same. You won't find yourself from this typing too much along the way.

Clearly. In addition, there are two stages of backlighting for all your low-light typing. In summary, then, the IdeaPad s3 14 sports are moderately comfortably keyboard, unlike the touchpad on the cheaper IdeaPad s1 45, the one on this IdeaPad s with what he is a modern precision unit. This means the pointers' movement is natural and linear. It also means multi finger, taps and swipes work right out of the box.

All the touchpad settings can be changed in window settings without installing a third-party driver or utility. The to click Keys under the touchpads, smooth, smudge free surface are fairly easy to click. As long as you press within the lower half section of the touchpad, what about the bin and design? This is one department in which the Lenovo IdeaPad s340 excels without a trace of doubt, Lenovo has basically taken everything. That's nice and clean in last year's idea, type 330s and incorporated it in the new idea pad s340. It has also shaved off body thickness by 1.05 mm. As a result, then it was refreshed.

Mid-Range err looks neat and modern. The base panel ditches the curvy chance for crisper more think books like look the slim black bezels around the display continue to look slim, what's more, there's that privacy shutter for the webcam that we covered earlier, while the top cover of the IdeaPad s 340, is made of anodized aluminum. The base panel is made of plastic with soft paint coated on top. Surprisingly, the difference hardly shows when you're carrying the around in the hands. The IdeaPad s340 appears to be a rigid and durable machine with little flecks on the lid and almost no flex on the keyboard island, so it should survive the occasional scratch.

There's ample grip all around to the display on the IdeaPad. S340 goes all the way back to 180 degrees, which should make your embed computing sessions more comfortable. All things considered, then NYASA virus t40 is a band engineered laptop for its price. Well then, let's sum up the new idea pad s340. If you already got last year's model, you get it at 3:30.

Yes, there's really no reason to update the busiest model. However, if you're in the market for a new mid-range laptop for the first time consider the s340 it's a pretty decent laptop, really as long as you get the radiant with a solid-state drive and not the one with a hard drive like we did anyhow.
