Best Tech 2017: Lenovo IdeaPad 720S – Wins The Laptop of the Year | Lenovo IdeaPad 720S has won the best laptop of the year title in 2017. Lenovo should be feeling very happy about this. It seems that lenovo has gathered good options and config to make this laptop that makes people like it. Price is always a key consideration when choosing a new laptop right? and this year the Lenovo IdeaPad 720S is the best value when you look at the hardware. “This is a great-looking, thin and light laptop” TR says. Its exterior is all-aluminium and so feels reassuringly expensive, while it has a heft to it that you’d expect of a premium product. It isn’t though. The panels don’t feel like they’re luxury from solid chunks of metal but it comes close. Excellent performance combines with a great screen, good range of connectivity options, and sleek design to make it the best option for those who want premium features without the premium price tag. IdeaPad 720S’ Intel Core i5-7200U processor and 8GB of RAM, a configuration that enables decent multitasking for such a price tag. No lag after you split your screen between a streaming and a dozen Chrome tabs. The hardware on Lenovo IdeaPad 720S is: CPU : Intel Core i5-7200U, RAM 8GB : Hard Drive Size 256GB, Highest Available Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 940MX, Intel HD 620 Video Memory 2GB, Weight 3.29 pounds. Despite its 14-inch panel, the 720S is very compact, a heavily reduced slim bezel means more machine in less space.

The IdeaPad 720S pushes out of the mid-range bracket in terms of its cost of course. In the US comes with an MSRP of $969.99, though hunt around and you’ll find it slightly cheaper. The down vote for it are usually about: Slightly awkward keyboard, Middling battery life and Loud fan. Techradar says: “It’s one of the loudest laptops we’ve ever used when under stress. To be fair, that cooling really works – the 720S barely even gets warm to the touch – but it whirrs at a truly irritating pitch.”
