Affordable gaming laptop.

The Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming Laptop with 15.6 Inch FHD display looks amazing. Fast Intel Core i5-9300H Processor has proven worthy on opening up and running applications fast. The 512GB Nvme SSD makes this laptop boot up quick and load games/apps much faster than conventional HDD drives. The built-in NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 has been able to handle very well with many new game titles and some VR games. The 8GB DDR4 RAM handles well for the most part.The HDMI input works great for connecting a larger screen and getting a better picture.The laptop vents hot air towards the front and can get a little loud depending on graphic settings. The blue LED backlit keyboard is nice to have. I have not had any issues with it yet as I keep video drivers and windows up to date.This does not have a CD-ROM so you will have to get an external one.All in all, this is a decent price for a gaming laptop that can handle just about any game.

The beauty and the beast!

Let me start by saying I have always been an AMD supporter.I was in doubt and buying this i5 based laptop instead of the Ryzen 5 from other manufacturers broke my heart.I made a big research on this i5 vs R5 and found out that the i5 leads the way in 90% of the comparisons.My choice was purely based on maximizing the value of my money.This laptop is robust. It’s blazing fast.The i5 does the job well. Even with 8GB of ram.The ram and the pci-e ssd are Samsung’s components. They are reliable and have an outstanding performance.I plan on upgrading the ram to 16gb from crucial.If you think about upgrade, there is only ONE slot for Ram. So you will need to remove the 8gb and place the 16gb.You can upgrade de 512gb pci-e ssd but I do not recommend since the one is really good.There is a pretty hidden sata III connector for an SSD so I will buy also from crucial a 2TB ssd.The battery life is miserable. I cannot expect a lot from a gaming laptop.The GTX1650 handle everything very well. Nvidia software let’s you switch from Gaming drivers to Studio drivers at any time so you can use it for your Adobe suite and return back to your daily gaming activities lol.BE ADVISED: the video presentation of the product might make you believe that the lid’s backside logo and the logo next to the keyboard are retroiluminated, but they are not.The keyboard is very soft. Nice to type.I enjoyed the mousepad. I saw complaints about it, but seriously??Well, just get a mouse. I have mine also.The screen is big and bright. Everything is very clear.Windows flows nicely on this machine and I can’t regret making this purchase as long as it lasts and I surely can’t see this laptop failing.The only bad thing: McAfee. First thing I uninstalled. Make sure you do the same.I bought it during Black Friday and paid 549 USD.

It’s no RTX lappy–but still can hang w/2021 games. Happy!

If you’re gonna plunk the better part of $1k on new tech (that you’ll have for years to come), it’s important to get a total, accurate look at what this laptop is and is not:I want to address the positives AND the (very few) negatives.Yeah, it’s not a bleeding-edge gaming laptop w/ a hot & heavy RTX card in ‘er. But – I’ve been playing a dozen games ranging from Fallout 4 to GTA 5, to Cyberpunk 2077, & more. CP2077 is the one game that can’t be run at ultra/high settings. But, w/ some tuning/tweaks, it’ll still run ~60fps on medium. **Note about FHD screen and certain games running @1080p/60Hz/FPS below in the paragraph on the screen**Lenovo’s keyboard are legendary. Clicky-clacky enough yet smooth and buttery. Having a keyboard w/ nearly full-sized key and a 10-key makes all the difference for me personally. Keyboard is beautifully & evenly backlit in blue; and can be set to ‘low’, ‘high’, or off.Touchpad is standard and full clickable. Of note if you like to turn off touch “Taps” (I despise tap-to-click…Grrr…), I discovered that Windows 10 has no easy way to disable that “feature” in Control Panel. I had to slog through RegEdit to find the correct value and set it to “0”. Problem solved!The FHD/1080P screen is gorgeous. Windows 10’s default display settings can cause a situation in which some legacy windows within the OS are displayed at a lower resolution, creating blurry text and border lines. This is a known issue across all FHD screens, laptop or desktop, and the fault lies w/ Windows 10, not you & I, or the laptop. Google will produce a simple fix, and somebody has created a small (kilobites) file that will switch your display settings to fix this problem.Let’s talk about the bread-and-butter part of the Lenovo L340: The video card is Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1650; a capable video card, even in the day of the RTX2080 monsters. Will it play every current AAA-title at Ultra settings? No…sadly. But it WILL play every AAA-title currently out as of May 17th, 2021 at reasonably acceptable quality. And the 2-5yr old games (and older, of course) look incredible running on High or Ultra settings.Playing Fallout 4 on High setting, w/ textures/fade/water/light on Max/Ultra, it runs sustained @60FPS (capped by default, and fine by me in this case) even while exploring & shooting hordes of enemies in the midst of downtown Boston. Most Fallout 4 fans know downtown Boston to be the game’s chokepoint; where consoles and older PC GPUs start dropping frames hard, and everything becomes choppy – even sometimes causing the dreaded CTD.Windows 10 is Windows. After the horrific ess known as Windows 7&8, I switched back to running Linux boxes or Windows 7 (running Classic Shell) for games, & vowed to not.come back until Microsoft got rid of that Metro crap. I want my OS to look and work like an OS……Anyway, when I finally was forced to adopt Windows 10 when my last laptop went Tango-Uniform and I bought this Lenovo L340. And I actually, genuinely like it. This is what 7 & 8 should have been. Metro app clicky-touchy nonsense if you OPT for it, or, an OS for those of us who prefer it.Last, I just want to say that Lenovo as a company has been pretty good to me. I’ve owned 5 Lenovo laptops in about 10 years. Two for work (I can’t recall model #s), one of which is in my work truck currently, and the one before it that died from living full-time w; roasting hot or freezing cold, dusty, humid, smoky, vibrating/shaking and constant daily abuse over a 5-year period.One my oldest daughter has used almost 4 years now for college. I hear it’s holding up well, and I’ve been spared having to be “tech support” for any issues.My last one died completely after almost 6 years of OUTSTANDING service. I burned two full spindles (200 DVDs worth) and a good chunk of a third making work-related copies and backups. Never, ever made a coaster. That drive was so sweet, I salvaged it. Thousands of hours on and productive. I actually wore a soft spot in the 10-key. Then the FN key stopped responding. Then the touchpad stopped. One day, I went to start working and it refused to turn on at all. Wouldn’t run diagnostics, BIOS was unusable. Toast.So if I get 5 years out of my new L340, I will be a happy man.

An Overall Great Laptop

I use this laptop for moderate gaming, school work, and occasional video and sound editing. While this laptop is very capable of running most games at 1080p and sweeping the room in terms of school work or general purpose use, video and audio production leaves much to be desired. I can’t really argue because the laptop was not intended for any content creation type work and for the price, it’s a great deal. The simple and tasteful design is a very nice touch, too. Not too “gamer”, but not cheap looking and feeling. The brushed finish on the top makes it look like something I’d take to a company meeting without the flashy “gamer” trademarks. The only two things that I do not like about this laptop is its track pad and poor battery life. (I use an external mouse and have the laptop plugged in almost all the time anyway, so it’s no big deal for me)Overall, this laptop is pretty good for its price and is something that I highly recommend.

Great for non-gaming, okay for gaming

Aesthetically pleasing laptop, a little heavy if you have to transport it often. Great for anything that isn’t too taxing on it, I’ve had countless tabs open without issue.Biggest issue I’ve come across is having to choose between either a game or having other tabs open, it can’t handle too heavy gameplay +other tabs depending on the game.Sea of Thieves, Apex, and other graphics heavy shooters can only be played at once. Games like Minecraft leave you a little more lenient use.

Great laptop

I bought this because I was in the need of something new, especially since working from home. My old laptop is about 10 years old and sounds like an engine.That’s the first thing that was great about this guy, the fans are nearly silent and runs very cool. The backlit keyboard is nice, with two brightness settings. The light sort of teal-sky blue is pretty and not in your face.So far I’ve only played a bit of Stardew Valley but that ran and loaded wonderfully fast.Camera quality could be better, but there is an HDR mode that seems to help a little, and for basic streaming or video conferencing purposes should be just fine.I loved how well packaged the product was. Obviously a lot of care went into it, and that was appreciated.I had photos to add, but can’t seem to figure out how to do so.

Works great!

A superb gaming laptop, but I actually bought it for engineering grad school. It can run the student version of ANSYS, MATLAB, and will be trying Autodesk software later. I bought it for 600 when other Dell Precision Laptops were 1200 with the same or lower specs. Not quite as fast as some desktops, but will still get the job done for CFD.Tried some gaming and it can run Counterstrike so far.The fans aren’t too loud but you will notice them when you start doing intense computations or gaming. It is also feels a bit heavy, but its appropriate for its size, specs, and price.One thing I would like to add is that it has a metal exterior(I think the frame is metal in general) with a nice finish. However it does tend to get fingerprints and smudges easily. Clean up is easy with alcohol wipes

Best PC for the price by far

This is the best laptop your gonna find for thd price.. Best Buy and places like that will sell this for $900. This computer is perfect for anything you need to do including gaming with fast high graphic Xbox games.. Also you can always add for RAM if needed but i don’t see it.. Since its got the 9th gen processor I5 it is as fast as a 8th gen i7.. Its got incredible graphics and its a speedy laptop that seems to function like the speed of a good Mac!!! A++++++Ps. I have laptops with 12 and 16gb ram that don’t operate as fast as this with 8gb ddr4.

Good Product

I have had this laptop for a couple days using it pretty much none stop, and have had no problems so far. The high powered 1650 is a fantastic step up from the 760 in my previous computer, of course not good enough to run ultra graphics on new games but more than good enough to run DOOM Eternal as well as Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order at medium graphics. The battery life is what you would expect from a sudo-gaming laptop. All ports are on the left side and out of the way(very nice). Overall Very happy with this purchase!

Im very happy with the laptop

I have been using this laptop for more than a month now and im in love with it i mainly play rainbow six siege and it runs smoothly on +80 fps when playing on low or medium settings or even high but i prefer the extra fps but i play a bit of csgo some times and its super smooth even on the highest settings and it doesn’t get to hot even when playing for all night but a very important note****always play with the laptop plugged in because the games well be unplayable**** other than that its perfect

decent

You have to edit the registry to get the touch-pad to automatically disable when a mouse is plugged in. I can’t tell if it’s Windows 10 or the touch-pad software/driver which was programmed by incompetent people. Either way, I consider myself fortunate that I’m tech savvy enough to google search the fix and implement it. This is my first experience with win10, and I’m very annoyed by this terrible OS. That’s not a reflection on this product other than that they chose to install win10 on their laptops, an obvious blunder. I am giving this product 4 stars because the hardware seems to be as advertised, and I am pleased with the laptop with the exception of the above critiques.

So, I don’t know about its performance in gaming, but for Photoshop you’ll be thrilled

I’m not a gamer. Rather, I bought this laptop to use for my Photoshop projects. Having a graphics card with its own onboard RAM is a must for Photoshop CC – especially if you want to create 3D graphics.I’m in love with the Ideapad L340. My day job revolves around writing and editing, with some simple photo enhancement. I love that my computer now boots in a matter of SECONDS! OMGosh – what a godsend!It’s loaded with the current version of Win 10, so no surprises there. It doesn’t seem to have much in the way of Lenovo bloatware, so that ensures it runs smoothly.So, I don’t know about its performance in gaming. But, if you’re a regular Joe (or Jane), you’ll be thrilled.

Great on a budget, with some caveats

First off, performance on this laptop is great. The i5-9300h will pretty much be able to do anything except for the heaviest tasks, while the GTX 1650 can handle a large variety of games, though the most graphics intense games will need medium to low settings. While there are only 8 GB of RAM, in my usage (internet browsing, college work, occasional gaming) that has never been a problem. Again, this isn’t the absolute most powerful laptop, but it is probably far above average in performance. Battery life is surprisingly good for a gaming laptop, especially if you undervolt (which I did by -125 mV if you’re interested), and it runs relatively cool as well, rarely going over 80 C.I personally really like the minimalist design, with blue accents instead of the “gamer” red, so this won’t turn too many heads in a professional meeting. The screen bezels are relatively small too, and while apparently the color gamut is not the best, that either doesn’t matter or isn’t even apparent to me (in case you saw reviews criticizing this). Maybe if you’re in graphic design, this might matter, though. The hinge is strong, and can bend all the way to 180 degrees. It’s not a touchscreen laptop, but there are some uses, such as watching a video in bed or something. The system is also really slim for a gaming laptop, and easy to carry around, which is an excellent design choice.The build quality isn’t the best, being mostly plastic, but it is still smooth to feel, so there is at least that. The keyboard isn’t very clicky, and the travel distance is a little small. It takes a while to get used to, but eventually you may get used to it. The backlit keyboard is nice, though. The trackpad unfortunately uses garbage Synaptics drivers. I played around with the registry a bit to add a couple gestures, but coming from Windows Precision, the trackpad is definitely a massive downgrade from Precision for me. I tried installing Precision drivers, and they worked (excellently, I might add) temporarily, because I guess Windows update has something in place to really latch you on to Synaptics drivers.Although there are definitely some sacrifices made (including some that I haven’t mentioned, such as needing to buy a separate cable if you want to add a hard drive or having only one slot for RAM), I think that on balance this laptop provides fantastic value for $680. In some areas you get what you pay for, but for $680 this laptop can do a lot more than others.

Hacker GF is now Hacker future wife… I’m sure she said yes because I bought her this

Lest semester my best friend/love of my life and I were needed to venture across campus in a rainstorm but little did she realize that unfortunately her laptop was still in her backpack. The rain came down on us worse than I’ve ever seen and when she realized her laptop was hosed… well I’m sure you can imagine that this was not a good day at our house.To make things worse, at the time we were in a cyber security graduate level computer science course which required us to have high powered laptops for password cracking and DOS attack labs. AND AUW LUAWDY did this machine deliver. We had Kali up and running on this bad boy in no time. I actually borrowed it to do some cracking for a CTF I was taking part in at the time and dang, barely heated up while cooking on all eight threads.THERE IS JUST ONE THING…Ubuntu did not play nice on this machine. Funny thing, Kali did just fine but Ubuntu had an issue with the kernels and almost every single install she did on it after swapping the OS seemed to mess things. I did a little bit of detective work on the issue and I’ve pretty sure that Ideapads don’t have as much in common with Thinkpads in the way of coperating with non-Windows setups. Windows was easy to re-install.I asked my fiancee for a comment and she said: “Is swag”. We’re still working on her English but it’s like her fourth language so you can give her a break okay, she is doing her absolute best and English is an incredibly hard language to learn when you didn’t grow up speaking a language like German or Australian.

Awesome if you get it at a good price

This laptop’s overall design is very nice for a lower priced gaming laptop. It doesn’t have that gaming look that the majority of lower priced gaming laptops have, which was what I was looking for. Battery life seems to be average for a gaming laptop; I could literally watch the battery percentage go down. Screen is matte, but the 1080p display is really nice considering I’ve gotten used to 1060 x 768 screens. As for the main part, gaming seems alright. I got mine for $599 which is really good for the gpu and cpu included; a GTX 1650 for this price in a laptop is a really good. The 9th generation i5 is really speedy and good for multitasking. I could have Spotify, Discord, and Chrome in the background while I was playing games. You can definitely hear the fans come on; they sound like my old Xbox 360 while playing GTA 5. This if my first gaming laptop so I can imagine that this is average or quiet for a gaming laptop. Lastly, it definitely feels weighted, it is over 4 lbs and you can feel it in your backpack while walking around campus. In my opinion, this is your best choice for a gaming laptop if you can get is for $599 or under.

Smooth running

Received laptop a few weeks ago and absolutely love it so far. I purchased it for a better gaming system than what I had. So far so good. Games run great, play WoW, Elderscrolls Online, Subnautica…..all run on max settings and runs smooth. In WoW, depending on location, I run between 55 to 100 fps on max settings. Hope this all continues because I am loving it so far. Boot up times are quick, although I am used to my other laptop which took about 2 minutes to fully boot, this one takes roughly 20 seconds.

Great for gaming.

I’ve had this laptop for almost a year now and I’m just now writing a review but this laptop has worked great so far. I play a few games on this and have little to no lag. I’m surprised how well it has worked all this time and for this price, this is one of the lower-priced laptops out there but has great performance. The only thing I wish was different is more memory other than that it’s perfect. Definitely recommend it to someone looking for a low-budget computer that works great for gaming! I Will be saving up to repurchase this laptop in the future as a gift to my sibling!

good for what it is

update after 6 months, still working very good. deff happy with it.very good quality. i game here and there and needed something for everything. i use it for work and its amazing. very fast for everyday stuff. it does run hot and use battery life very fast if playing any mildly demanding game. running beamng without it plugged in gets your about 18 to 25 mins for example. there is built in fans on the graphics card that pump out some serious heat and the bottom does get pretty hot. i have no experienced anything in which this cant do yet. ive had it for 3 months with no issues yet. 10/10 would buy again.

Excellent Gaming and Work Laptop!

Was skeptical because price was lower then the typical Gaming Laptop but man was I wrong! This baby packs a wallop!! Runs my entire Adobe Creative suite from Illustrator to phtoshop no issues even together no issues!! Gaming wise handles GTA 5 on par. With a ps4 from eye perspective. Really a good buy only one down side is the Audio is not that well. There is two speakers one each side but facing downwards and really could be redesigned to be on lower sides of screen and little bigger speakers or maybe add a third one under center screen?? But yea great laptop

Great for gaming, and General use!

This is a great laptop for a gamer on a budget! I’ve had mine for a little while now and am extremely happy with its performance. Im finally able to play more modern PC games and am so ecstatic.It runs current games really well on medium to high settings with no issue whatsoever.Great for someone who games in their spare time but doesnt have the money or time to build a proper gaming computer.It is also great for general use as well, I use it to do all of my coursework, as Im attending college from home.
