One of the most well-known brands of laptops is the ThinkPad line from Lenovo, which over the years has gained an extremely high reputation for durability and reliability.

Durability in Spades
Although Lenovo is best known for their ThinkPad line of laptops, they have expanded out in recent years with various other lines of laptops. Along with this, they have included much of the high quality that is put into their ThinkPad line into their other lines, so whichever model you choose is sure to retain the best characteristics. The Lenovo V130-15IKB 15.6" Laptop is no exception to this. This laptop includes plenty of features that add to its durability, making it a worthy companion for anyone who needs a durable laptop that will work well for them for years.
One of the areas of focus on this particular laptop is the keyboard. This spill-resistant keyboard minimises the likelihood of internal components failing, even if you accidentally spill water, tea or other liquids on the laptop, thanks to the extra protection that is placed underneath it within the laptop's casing. Along with its durability, the full-sized keys have a convenient form, so typing large volumes of text will be very easy. Basically, this keyboard will be a joy to use, something that is not often said about any laptop keyboard, which may come as a surprise to many people who are used to subpar keyboards on laptops.
Guard Your Privacy
If, when buying a laptop, privacy is your primary concern, you will probably want to make a choice in favor of this model. The built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM) securely encrypts your data and prevents theft of passwords, and the curtain for the webcam will be relevant if you are afraid of being tracked by "big brother" or hackers. This makes this system a great bargain for those who work in environments where they have access to very sensitive data, while also being affordable enough for the average everyday user to take advantage of its advanced security features.
Of course, the specifications of this model shouldn't be ignored either. This laptop includes an Intel Core i5-7200U dual-core processor running at 2.5 GHz, giving you a great deal of processing power for whatever tasks you need to work on. The 8 GB of DDR4 RAM and the 256 GB SSD also aid in giving this laptop extra power for working on even the most intensive tasks, while ensuring that the system doesn't slow down or run into performance issues. The 15.6-inch display has a full HD resolution of 1920x1080, giving you crisp, clear images along with smooth video playback. Whether you need to use this system for the office or for home, this high performing and extremely secure laptop from Lenovo will certainly meet your needs.

Plenty of Battery Life
One of the biggest isssues that people often run into with laptops is a distinct lack of battery life. Many laptops will often be advertised as having a certain amount of battery life, with real-world experience often showing that the battery life often falls far short of that mark. Even simple tasks like web browsing or working on documents will often drain a laptop's battery in almost no time at all, to the frustration of many users. This is simply unacceptable to many users, especially nowadays with the proliferation of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets that are much smaller and thinner than most laptops, yet often get much better battery life.
The Lenovo Ideapad 330S 15.6" HD Laptop is not one of these laptops. This very affordable model comes with a high capacity battery that gives you up to 7 hours of battery life, with real-world performance coming very close to that mark. What's more, this laptop includes a fast charge feature that provides up to 2 hours of battery life in a 15-minute charge cycle - an important point in case you travel frequently with the laptop. On top of that, a powerful WiFi module guarantees a stable Internet connection, even if the WI-fi router is far away. In short, you shouldn't run into any issues with the battery of WiFi while on the go.
Powerful but Affordable
This low-cost model is best suited for multimedia tasks and for Internet surfing, although it contains plenty of power that will let you do these and many other tasks without any performance issues. The laptop includes an Intel Pentium 4415U dual-core processor running at 2.3 GHz, which performs admirably well with most tasks. The system has only 4 GB of RAM along with a rather small 128 GB SSD drive, which makes it fall well short of the more powerful models from Lenovo, but these specs are still quite good enough for most any basic task that needs to be performed on the laptop.

Large Capacity Hard Drive
Many of the newer laptops that are coming out now use SSDs (Solid State Drives) rather than mechanical hard drives. There are a number of reasons for this, the primary of which is for performance. SSDs tend to be much faster than mechanical hard drives due to not having to use a spinning platter for accessing data. Likewise, they offer a number of other benefits for the same reason, including less power consumption and even a slightly lower weight. However, this reliance on SSDs has left a few people without many options, as there are still people who require a large amount of local storage for various reasons.
The Lenovo IdeaPad 320 15.6" Laptop is made for those who require more storage capacity rather than faster data access speeds. The 1 TB HDD is useful for people who prefer to store a large amount of music, photos and videos on their laptop. In addition, 1 x USB 3.1 Type C and 2 x USB 3.0 ports allow you to quickly copy information from external drives to your hard drive and vice versa. Those who require mass storage space instead of faster data access times will find this laptop to be much more suitable for their purposes than those that come with a built-in SSD drive instead.
Great for Home and Office
The Lenovo IdeaPad 320 can fulfill the role of both home and office laptop. The anti-glare LED-backlit display with enhanced brightness control reduces eye strain while still providing exceptional picture quality thanks to its 1366 x 768 screen resolution, and the redesigned touchpad will be relevant for those who are used to working on a laptop without a mouse. This provides a great input device that far exceeds many of the standard touchpads that come on many laptops.
This particular system also provides plenty of horsepower for whatever tasks you need to perform. Rather than the usual Intel processor, this system includes an AMD A6 (9220) Dual-core Processor running at 2.5 GHz, which should be plenty fast enough for most tasks. Along with this, the system has an AMD Radeon 530 graphics chip, which provides much better performance for 3D intensive uses such as gaming than the typical integrated graphics used by systems with an Intel processor. Although this isn't really a gaming laptop, those who like playing games will find their favourite titles should run well on this system. Although the 4.5 hours of battery life is much lower than most other models, it should still be good enough for most people who only occasionally need to use the system on battery power. Despite this, all of the features and capabilities of this Lenovo laptop will be sure to satisfy both home and office users.

Touchscreen Laptop
There has been a trend recently of notebooks and tablets trying to merge into being the same devices, with mixed results. Some of these take the form of primarily being a tablet with an optional keyboard attachment, while others are a single entity of a laptop design that can have the screen flipped around to work as a tablet. How good these devices are at being both a tablet and a notebook can depend highly on the device, but in general, they tend to not be great at being either option, due to the compromises that tend to be made to give them that functionality.
The Lenovo Yoga 310 11.6" Touchscreen Laptop makes no bones about what it is. This device is primarily a laptop, yet it includes a touch screen display that can be flipped around to work as a tablet. In other words, it is a laptop that has tablet-like capabilities, which allows it to work quite well as its primary device without having to compromise on its design. On top of that, it contains a few features which are quite nice. One of the two USB ports remains active even when the laptop is off, so that you can recharge a smartphone or any other gadget from it at any time. Also, the fingerprint-proof body will look attractive even with frequent opening / closing of the cover.
Four Modes
This Yoga laptop can be a decent alternative to tablets as well as being an excellent laptop, as it can be used in as many as 4 modes: laptop mode will be useful for working with documents, you can watch a movie or video from YouTube with the stand and tent modes, and the tablet mode will be convenient for using the device on the go. Basically, the four different modes allow the laptop to excel at certain tasks instead of the whole device being meant to function equally in both modes. This is part of the design that allows it to be a great laptop without giving up its functionality in order to work as a tablet.
We can't talk about such a device without going into some detail on its specifications. This laptop includes a dual-core Intel Celeron N3350 processor running at 1.1 GHz, putting this system firmly into the low end in regard to its total power. The 4 GB of RAM gives you plenty of memory for using this system for basic tasks, being large enough to allow you to work on several documents at once or have multiple browser tabs open. A big negative of this device, though, is the paltry 32 GB of eMMC storage, which gives you very little local storage space, barely being big enough to hold the operating system. However, you can expand the storage with an SD card or USB flash drive if you need more storage for files. In the end, this lightweight laptop with tablet functionality helps give you the best of both worlds without compromising its design.

What Is a Lenovo Laptop?
Computers have become so commonplace in the world that there seems to be little that is mysterious about this. This especially applies to laptops, as several years ago they became the most popular form factor for computers, and this lead over desktop systems has only grown since then. However, the popularity of laptops has happened despite numerous issues with them over the years, ranging from reliability problems to performance.
One of the companies that has helped the rise in popularity of laptops is Lenovo, especially after they bought IBM's personal computer division in 2005. Lenovo's ThinkPad line of computers has maintained a reputation for excellence over the years, even as many other computer manufacturers struggled to make systems that were anywhere near as reliable. Since then, though, Lenovo has leveraged their expertise in laptop computers to make several lines of laptops, all of which carry on Lenovo's tradition of excellence in power and reliability. Few other computer companies make laptops that can rival the overall quality of those from Lenovo.
If you are looking for a compact form factor computer that is a desktop model rather than a laptop, take a look at our reviews of some of the best all-in-one PCs in the UK. Likewise, if your laptop doesn't come with a DVD drive, check out some of the best portable DVD players.
What Features to Compare
Those who are not very knowledgeable about computers may think that most laptops are similar to each other, when nothing could be further from the truth. This even applies to different laptop models from the same company. Lenovo uses some similar design characteristics in their models, but for the most part, different models are made for different use cases. As with any computer, it is the hardware inside that counts the most, although with laptops, there are a few other things to consider as well.
Display
The first thing that most people may look out for when it comes to buying a Lenovo laptop is the size of the display. The display size usually dictates how big the laptop is. Of course, there are a few other things to consider in regards to the display, such as the resolution of the screen. The higher the screen resolution, the sharper images will be, and the more real estate you'll have to work with on the system's desktop. Those who want more of a desktop system replacement may want a larger screen, while those who value portability more may want a model with a smaller display.
Performance and Graphics
The laptop's performance and graphics are just as important as any other characteristic, as these items will show just how powerful the laptop is. For those who do little more than basic tasks on their laptops, such as web browsing, checking email, and working with documents, the performance of the system may not be that important, as most laptops will do these tasks just fine. However, those who have more demanding requirements of a laptop will want one that has a faster processor, more memory, and a dedicated graphics card.
Operating System
The operating system of a laptop is an important thing to check. Most users will either want or require the latest version of Windows on their system (Windows 10), but those who want to use another operating system such as Linux will want to make sure that the OS will work on their laptop.
Interfaces
The included interfaces on a laptop can be just as important as any other characteristic, as users often need to connect certain devices to their system. If you have specific needs in regard to the ports that you need to connect devices to, you will want to make sure that the laptop you choose includes all of the ports that you need.
Battery Life
Last but not least, the battery life of a laptop will be an important characteristic for those who need to use their laptop while on the go. Those who require using their system while away from the mains for long periods of time will want to make sure that whichever laptop they choose has enough battery life to ensure they can do this without issues.
Did you know?
Extending Your Battery Life
As we've mentioned before, one of the biggest issues that people have with a laptop is with its battery life. No matter how long the battery life is advertised as for a specific system, real-world usage never seems to come close to that number. Even with light use, laptops tend to not live up to the total battery life that they are rated for, leaving many users scratching their heads. As bad as that may sound, though, there are definitely ways to help extend a laptop's battery life, even without upgrading or changing out the battery. Below are some tips on getting the most battery life out of your laptop, regardless of which model it is.
Minimise Screen Brightness
One of the biggest draws of power for any laptop is its screen. Large LCD and LED displays tend to use a lot of power, and as a general rule, the brighter the screen is, the heavier the power draw. Probably the easiest way to help extend your laptop's battery life is to set the screen brightness to the lowest setting that allows you to still see everything well. The exact settings will vary between different laptops, so it will probably take some experimenting with whichever model you have in order to find the perfect balance with screen brightness.
Power Settings
Most operating systems, especially Windows 10, include settings that allow you to minimise the amount of battery power that is being used by the system. To do this in Windows 10, click on the bottom right icon that looks like a small computer monitor for opening up the notifications panel, and then click on All Settings down at the bottom. In the window that appears, click on the System icon and then click on Power & Sleep on the right. Here you can adjust the various power settings such as setting how long the display remains on for inactivity, as well as a link to helpful hints on maximizing the battery life of your system.
Use Dark Mode
A recent addition to many operating systems and apps is something called Dark Mode, which allows the windows and general appearance to use darker colours instead of bright ones. When using a lot of white on an LED monitor, this uses a lot more battery power than darker colours, so try setting your system and apps to use Dark Mode whenever possible if battery life is an issue on your system.
Try a Different Web Browser
The standard web browser that most people use nowadays is Google Chrome. While it is a fine web browser, many users have complained about how much memory and power it uses. If you use Google Chrome quite often and have issues with your laptop's battery power. try using another browser such as Firefox or Brave instead to see if either of them helps with extending your system's battery life.
Close Unused Apps
One other handy tip for extending your system's battery life is to make sure that you close out of programs that you aren't currently using. Any apps or programs that aren't being used still sit in the background and use system resources, which in turn requires more battery power. Closing out of apps whenever you don't need them open can actually go a long way towards giving your laptop the best battery life possible.
