Nothing pleases my soul more than an affordable, reliable laptop with all the right features — and that’s what the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 is all about. Right now, you can save $300 and get it for just $500 at Best Buy.
AMD is at the forefront here, with the laptop packing a Ryzen 7 5700U CPU (with eight cores, 16 threads) and Radeon graphics underneath the hood. It’s plenty zippy for office work, school work, and day-to-day tasks. It also comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage.
The higher RAM amount is nice, as we usually only see 8GB of memory at this price point. More RAM comes in handy when running multiple applications and when browsing the web.
Lenovo’s IdeaPad 1 has a pretty nice display, too. It measures a sizable 15.6 inches, has a resolution of 1920×1080, and is touch-enabled. That means you can navigate apps and the web with a finger, and you can doodle to your heart’s content. It’s not the brightest display we’ve ever seen at 300 nits, but it’s bright enough for everyday activity. The bezels look skinny as well, which means more screen for you.
This is a really good deal, especially if you’re a student heading off to college for the first time. Don’t miss out!
