Anyone familiar with the Lenovo Ideapad S540

[Thobiex]

Hello,

I'm looking into buying a Lenovo Ideapad S540 15.6" with GTX 1650 and i5-8265U and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this device?

I couldn't really find anything about it online.

 

It stands between the S540 and the Ideapad L340 with similar specs.

Do you need an ultabook or a gaming laptop?

It would be nice with an ultrabook, but it doesn't really matter that much. I do strongly appreciate build quality though.

The IdeaPad lineup isn't spectacular these days, typically not even on par with the entry-level E-series ThinkPads. That said, it doesn't have the pathetic build quality issues that most other comparable brand lines--looking very squarely at you, Dell XPS--have right now.

Lenovo Legion Y540 with GTX 1660 ti and i5 is also an option

Specifically the 15.6" Y540 (just in case there is a 17")

That's far far better if you want good cooling and sustained performance.

You know what, fuck it, I'll just buy the Y540. Seems like an allround great laptop for the price.
