Lenovo Ideapad 320 15 [320-15IKB 80XL03G9RA]

Lenovo is a Chinese manufacturer with a worldwide reputation that they rightfully deserve. The low-cost laptop model of the popular Ideapad 320 15 line (IKB 80XL03G9RA) is an excellent family option for a multimedia centre for study, work and entertainment.

Attractive and practical

The laptop is presented in a pleasant to the touch plastic matte case with compact dimensions of 378x260x22.9 mm, but not the lightest weight of 2.2 kg. For a teenager or a fragile girl, carrying one in a backpack or bag will not be an easy task.

However improved ergonomics and an abundance of colours somewhat compensate for this shortcoming. There are as many as 6 of them to choose from: red, white, blue, lilac, black and metallic grey. The case does not collect fingerprints, and rounded edges give the laptop elegance. Separately, we note a comfortable keyboard with a large distance between the buttons, and a touchpad with a smooth response.

Picture

The screen received a TN + film matrix with high resolution (1920x1080 pixels) and anti-glare coating. Viewing angles are better than those of SVA matrices, and yet, if the person sitting at the laptop will definitely be comfortable, then those who are nearby will not be very comfortable.

Iron

The Ideapad 320 15 (IKB 80XL03G9RA) received a fairly fast Intel Pentium 4415U processor with a frequency of 2.3 GHz, despite having only two cores. Increases the performance of DDR4 RAM with the ability to expand the base 4 GB up to 20. And the presence of a discrete graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 920 MX with 2 GB of memory allows you to use the laptop for most video games at minimum settings and work in 3D graphics editors.

In particular, in this regard, this model does not indulge in battery life. From 3 to 5 hours — all that can be squeezed out of it with a full battery life.

In terms of switching, we see an obvious nod to innovation in the device: there are no old-fashioned VGA and USB 2.0 ports, but we have 2 USB 3.0 connectors and one Type C.

As for the sound in the speakers, although it is stereo, it leaves much to be desired, namely, high frequencies are abundant, and low frequencies are present only theoretically. The situation is somewhat better in headphones, but even here a lot depends on the model.

Nevertheless, with all the combination of factors, we note the modernity, good video component and aesthetics of the laptop. Therefore, we recommend it for the category of young energetic people.
