Lenovo IdeaPad S540 10th Gen Intel Core i5 15.6" (39.62cms) Full HD IPS Thin&Light Laptop (8GB/1TB HDD + 256GB SSD/Windows 10/MS Office 2019/NVIDIA MX250 2GB Graphics/Mineral Grey/1.8Kg), 81NG002BIN

After a lots of study I found that this laptop is one of the best looking and featured laptop present in market in the price range between 60 to 70 K. Lenovo is a pure Chinese brand and I had bad experience in past. But the new Lenovo changed a lot. Coming back to some customers review, they reported of having received defective product and less days warrenty. Ok let me clear you all, this laptop costs arround 63 K and due to covid amazon increased the price and also I got this laptop after 15 days due to random unavailability. My 1st order got cancelled after 15 days cause they told me the order was archived (my guess due to out of stock, and for the same reason some of you got defective product) and in case of warrenty, you can update the purchase date from Lenovo's site by providing amazon's bill.Talking about laptop:Pros: Superior build quality and the unibody aluminium chessy give the laptop a premium looks, I guess this is one of the best looking laptop in the market right now. Students to business professionals, developer to casual use suits for every person. Latest Intel 10th Gen processor and Nvidia MX250 good for photo and video editing, light gaming and codding. SSD is superb, as per technical specification this is the fastest SSD installed in any device in this price range. Its a 2280 4 channel Hynix SSD and capable of 32 GBPS where rest are 2280 2 channels 16 GBPS. 2x2 intel non vpro wifi is great. Display coud be 300 nits and 72% color gamut, but its not, still manageable, though a different model of S540 have this feature but didn't find the model in amazon or local market. Extra 1 tb ssd, free windows, office 2019 and McAfee 1 year total security are extra bonus. Finger print works perfectly, keyboard backlit is ok, privacy webcam sutter is a very good features, speaker downfiring but still good. Glass touchpad just awesome. Some easter eggs like always on usb port, Charging level indicator during laptop off, lenovo vantage driver update, fast charging on-off, on laptop in ac mode without using battery, os backup and reset dedicated key and offline backup, different charging light blinking indicator, performance mode selector, different usefull function keys just extra add onsCons: RAM could be 2666Mhz, but its 2400. Bluetooth 4.2, not 5. Weight is 1.8 kg but still felt heavy. Battery very poor, max backup 4-5 hours in medium usage. Overhitting during gaming. 1 usb type c which doesn't support power delivery. Those who have screen flickering issue, please dont panic. Update bios and nvidia driver in safe mode or contact your local expart or lenovo techincl expart face to face. And yes keyboard, if you are not a lenovo user it will take time to habituate, keyboard could be better. And please provide one bag or sleeve in online purchase.Those who are interested to increase the warranty, please perches 1699 rs tps tech warrenty along with this, cause its not a cheap laptop at all.

The laptop is a beast when it comes to performance and ease of use. The design is very sleek. From afar, it just looks like a sheet of steel when closed. However, its not very light as it looks to be. I expected it to be much lighter and was disappointed with its weight.The battery performance is decent. I am getting around 5-6 hours of battery. I only browse, watch tutorial videos and code (heavily).The most disappointing feature of this device is its sound. The quality of the speakers is just pre-historic. Very feeble in sound. I have to connect to a earphone each time I have to listen to a video.The display quality is excellent. Lenovo has done a great job with this laptop in the display aspect.The laptop is best if you are a working professional or a coder. But if you want to game, create content, and for any general entertainment purposes, I don't recommend it.

13/11/2020:The screen flickering issue is still an issue when the laptop is not placed on a stable ground, like if you hold the laptop in your hand in air the screen tends to flicker, I guess its some kind of loose connection or something. But nothing is wrong when it is placed on a laptop and screen is at any angle.This issue was solved when I updated windows but I guess it was a mere coincidence that it got solved right at that time.One thing I didn't like is that the USB and power port at both really tight, maybe due to the slim design. It's hard to plug in and plug out through the ports. You feel like it's gonna break.9/11/2020:There was a screen flickering issue, which was solved when the nvidia and bios was updated. Warrenty issue was fixed by mailing the amazon invoice to [email protected] you don't have to worry about these two issues.I saw a few reviews where the hinge was broken, luckily I didn't have this problem until now and don't know if it will fall apart after daily usage. For the camera part some reviews have shown it is the wost camera in a laptop. I feel these people haven't used a webcam before and was expecting high selfie qualities in a laptop. The camera is pretty decent, I must say. I thought it will be really bad after reading reviews, but I'm really happy about it. The bootup speed is 7-8 seconds and finger print unlock works in just a second. And for the weight, its pretty heavy and not a lightweight laptop. It weights around 1.8kg to 1.9kg but the build quality except the hinge is really good. With the lenovo vantage app the updates and customisation of different modes is really easy.Display and sound quality is good. I will update this review after heavy and long usage.

I was looking for a laptop with the following features:1) Thin & Light Design2) 15.6 inch screen with very thin bezel3) FHD display of 1920x10804) Expandable RAM with minimum of 8GB memory5) Hybrid Storage [SSD (For fast booting)+HDD (For critical data storage)]6) Dedicated Nvidia Graphics with atleast 2GB Memory7) Core i5 10th Gen processorTo my surprise this was the only laptop on Amazon to fulfill all my requirements.I was a bit skeptical to buy this looking at the mixed reactions from people. However, I will say this is a must buy product for people having requirements inline with mine.Thermal performance was initially an issue as the laptop was heating up in a short duration but with a quick update of Lenovo Vantage app which helped in enabling the "Intelligent Cooling" mode from the app which fixed the issue.Battery backup is amazing as well with a wonderful display quality. I received close to 10 hours of battery backup which was mind blowing.Looks is also stunning with metallic housing and sleek design.
