Lenovo may be best known for its flagship Yoga 920 hybrid and all the splendor of its watch-band inspired hinge, but the things we’ve always loved from this brand are its inexpensive Ultrabooks. Lenovo has had a long tradition of announcing understated, well-designed and extremely affordable ultra-light notebooks like the Lenovo IdeaPad 720S and Lenovo IdeaPad 710S.
Now, Lenovo is bringing the same value-oriented sensibilities to the even more affordable 14-inch IdeaPad 530S. But don’t think this laptop cuts any corners to hit an even lower price point.

Pricing and availability
Available later this month, the 14-inch IdeaPad 530S starts at $799 (about £590, AU$1,070). At this price point, the budget Ultrabook comes equipped with a 7th-gen Intel Kaby Lake Core i7 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 128GB PCIe SSD and a Full HD display. That’s not too shabby, and it’s about on a par with what you would get from a similarly priced Dell XPS 13 or MacBook Pro with base specs.
