Description of 15.6" Lenovo Ideapad L340-15API 1920x1080, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U 2.1 GHz, RAM 4 GB, SSD 128 GB, AMD Radeon Vega 8, DOS, 81LW0056RK, Platinum Grey
- Performs quickly and is comparable to the I7 4710HQ CPU, etc. Power supply that is both lightweight and has a lengthy cord. The speed of the video card can be increased by increasing the amount of RAM.
- TN display that has been upgraded to IPS. Insufficient Random Access Memory (I've put the limit at 8 GB).
- Pretty nimble, before that it was a Macbook on the I5 of the second generation. The difference is noticeable in the loading of programs and Windows. Thanks to Lenovo, that you can put 2 more hard ones, that you can increase the RAM. I will do everything in the near future. Despite the screen matrix, thanks for the anti-glare coating. Case materials are good, they squeezed the maximum out of plastic for money. The sound for a laptop is unusual, there is volume in films. But music is better with headphones
- The screen is of course after the Mac, but it is worth noting that the colors are softer. There is also a Samsung P528 2022, where the colors are also more saturated. Viewing angles are the same. For 10 years, TN matrices have only become cheaper (considering our exchange rate), there is no particular development. But you can work, just don't tilt your head too much) Another minus for me is the touchpad. I can compare with Macbook. Heaven and earth. Phantom clicks, random sensitivity. Sams also has it smaller, but better. Another camera . The camera is atas, 0.3 megapixels, probably, with viewing angles to fit the face.
- The AMD CPU 300U is no longer available; instead, search for the updated model 3150U. There is a slot for DDR4 2400MHz (we insert on micron chips), there is a free NVME m2 slot WiFi 5 GHz, good assembly, case quality. The keyboard does not flex and is quite comfortable to use.
- SSD on SATA3, although it is not particularly inexpensive, cannot accommodate a standard disk in its 21-inch form factor. The screen is mediocre, but considering the price, it would be unjust to complain given that this is TN.
- Definitely the cost. You won't get this anyplace else for 21500 laptops with full HD and a good processor with a wonderful built-in. The laptop also has a sata disk slot, a second sata slot for a floppy drive, and one nvme slot and an empty slot for RAM, proving that it is not disposable.
- While there is an empty slot, the memory is soldered to the circuit board. The SSD in the 128 gigabyte version is not nvme. Built-in, non-standard battery. You must take off the complete tray in order to change the RAM or disk.
- Easy on the wallet and not too heavy.
- There are some minor issues, such as the fact that the drivers on the Lenovo website do not automatically install and you have to do it by hand, and that the video occasionally stops playing when it's being viewed on the page (together with the page, it seems to me that this is not because of the laptop), Few USB ports (just two: mouse and flash drive, but it is remedied by installing a USB splitter (hub), technically there are three of them (usb ports), there is still usb-c, and I linked the hub to it via a usb-c connection; however, the Canon MF4010 printer does not scan through this hub. (for me, because I work more with the mouse, and will continue to work with the mouse): when you click on the touchpad, the mouse pointer moves out of the way, and you click in a different location. The brightness of the screen does not fade away in a linear fashion; at first, it fades away evenly, and then it immediately becomes completely dark.
