Lenovo IdeaPad S340-14API Review - AMD Steps Up

AMD is on the offensive on desktop front, but the company also wants to attack Intel on it's traditionally strongest position - ultra light laptops. We checked out what this Quad Core / eight threads platform combined with Radeon RX Vega 10 integrated GPU can do in a laptop made by Lenovo which belongs to its affordable Ideapad series.

He's one of those reviewers who puts his heart into it. Very seldom. Thumbs up!

A very nice and useful review. I'm planning to buy a new laptop. This Lenovo model is pretty good in terms of CPU, keyboard with backlight, RAM and SSD capacity and SSD SATA III available slot. Thank you.

I have this with the Ryzen 5 3500U - fairly good with 8 GB of RAM and 500GB storage on board. I'm a Linux user and worked through some headaches on Fedora, and LM XFCE windows compositor, but overall quite solid (currently running LM 19.3 Mate). Bought the system for around USD510~520, and I haven't found another Laptop that can match it at that price point.

Great review! This is what a need. Thanks a lot !!!

What happens when you replace that RAM module (8GB instead of factory 4). Does it then run in dual channel 4GB + 4GB and after system uses those 8, in single channel remaining 4GB, or it just runs all 12GB in single channel? Also, how those configurations affect real life use, not gaming (is there any noticable difference, for example in compiling code, browsing web, ...)?

[olivercole]

[LeonX]

Does this laptop have 2 slot of ram? Or 1 empty slot of ram plus 4gb soldered inside? Or it only has 1 slot at all?

[harihari]

This, or i5 10210u with mx250 ?? Would you rather ??

[rezataufani]

Hi bro, can we play Dynasty Warriors 8 xtreme lagends, Batman Arkham Origins and Jump Force in s340 ryzen 7?

[kitoxme]

Is the 14api model with ips or tn diplay ? Thanks

[z.e]

I don't get it. It runs dual channel memory right? So are both slots upgradeable? Or one slot is soldered while the other is sodimm? 😅
