1. Lightweight polished aluminum chassis
Weight is a factor to consider when purchasing a laptop. In this sense, the Lenovo Ideapad 530S delivers on a note. This team specifically weighs 1.49 kilos and has a thickness of 16.4 mm, which makes it a stylish and slim model. At the design level, the Ideapad 530s wears a very elegant polished aluminum chassis with several color options: onyx black, mineral gray, copper and liquid blue.
Regarding the screen, this is 14 inches with a resolution up to WQHD of 2,560 x 1,440 and a brightness of up to 300 nits. The model that is sold in Spain through the Lenovo website offers a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 and brightness of 250 nits. However, it is of sufficient quality to view multimedia content from anywhere. Another detail to highlight is its ultra-thin edges. They measure only 5.75 millimeters, considerably less than those of other rival notebooks.
2. Iron heart
Inside the Lenovo Ideapad 530s there is room for a processor up to 8th generation Core i7, very suitable for those who want a good performance when starting up quickly, working or playing. DDR4 memory can reach up to 16 GB and space up to 512 GB in SSD format. In Spain, a model is marketed with an eighth-generation Core i5 SoC, 8 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD space. This configuration is more than enough to handle heavy tasks and tools or services that need the necessary power to run.
In the graphics section, it is possible to work with an independent MX150 NVIDIA GeForce card and NVIDIA Maxwell architecture. This will be especially noticeable when carrying out heavy tasks, such as video editing or current games.
3. Safety first
Security is essential when using a Windows computer. To do this, Lenovo has bothered to include a fingerprint reader in this model. Thanks to it, it will be possible to start quickly and safely just by placing your finger on the sensor. In addition, it will allow you to make secure payments through PayPal and other services. To all this we must add that your personal information will be wrapped in three layers of security, so you can be sure that your data does not pass into unwanted hands.
4. Battery with fast charge
Fast charging has become a highly demanded feature when buying a mobile device. This is because it allows us to load more than half the equipment in a few minutes. The Lenovo Ideapad 530s has this system. Specifically, according to the company, it is possible to charge it for 15 minutes to get up to 2 hours of autonomy . This always comes in handy during trips and outings, especially considering that the average duration of this model is up to 8 hours. Logically, this time is always very relative, since it depends a lot on the established configuration.
5. Quality sound
Sound is another of the keys to this Lenovo Ideapad 530s. The equipment includes Harman speakers enhanced with Dolby Audio. This means that we can enjoy a higher audio quality when it comes to playing any type of sound, be it a movie, a song or a music video on YouTube. It will be possible to turn up the volume without distorting too much.
The Lenovo Ideapad 530s is available to buy in Spain through the Lenovo website at a discounted price of € 700. Its usual price is 750 euros. It is the model with a Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of SSD space and a screen with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. Without a doubt, a good opportunity to get one of the thinnest laptops on the market.
