Lenovo Yoga 520-14IKB (i5-7200U, 256 GB SSD) Laptop Review

 

Weak chest. While the new Intel processors represent the biggest performance boost in years, the Lenovo Yoga 520-14IKB is still equipped with older Kaby Lake processors. You can find out in this extensive test, why the convertible did not receive our...

functional aluminum and plastic case ; very good touchpad ; suitable keyboard ; active digitizer included ; always remains cool and nearly always quiet ; better battery life due to bigger battery

CPU does not use its full capabilities ; display: low brightness and color space coverage, strange ripple effect, PWM ; USB-C without DisplayPort or power delivery ; hinges are too loose ; 1x1 WLAN ; outdated GPU and CPU options

We have already mentioned in the section on the case, that the Yoga 520-14IKB looks very similar to the IdeaPad 520s-14IKB. This does not only apply to the design, but also to the hardware in general. The Lenovo Yoga 520-14IKB is almost the convertible...

Lenovo Yoga 520 Review: Good balance of Style and Performance

 

Lenovo Yoga 520 review. The 2-in-1 convertible is powered by Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU and goes up to up to 16GB DDR4 RAM. You get a gorgeous 14-inch IPS touch screen and a suite of connectivity ports. The convertible runs on Windows 10 also come with...

Premium and Sturdy design ; Tent mode and tablet mode come quite handy ; Supports Active S Pen ; Gorgeous 1080p IPS touchscreen ; Good audio and battery backup

Feels heavy in hands ; Fans get loud during intensive tasks ; Heats up during resource intensive operations ; Touchpad is a bit extra slippery

Lenovo Yoga 520 (Flex 5) (14-inch) review – the Yoga 720 on a budget with little to no trade-offs

 

With the higher price of the new Yoga 520, compared to the older Yoga 510, we get not only apparent visual improvement but also a much better chassis, more comfortable input devices, improved porta…

Good build quality;Great input devices;Decent IPS display for the more budget-oriented configurations;The panel doesn’t use PWM for regulating screen brightness;A lot of upgradability options for a 14-inch device (2.5-inch HDD + M.2 SSD slot + RAM slot)

Subpar battery life;The display appears to be a bit dim and color-deficient for the more expensive configurations with Core i5 and i7

Lenovo Yoga 520 (Pentium) 14IKB review

  (Rating Hidden)

A versatile laptop, as the name suggests, the Lenovo Yoga 520 can bend back on itself to double up as a tablet/laptop hybrid. The specs hint that it won't be a powerhouse, but is this laptop a good choice for the casual user who wants to browse the...

The Lenovo Yoga 520 is hybrid device, with a screen that is capable of folding over on itself to turn the laptop into a tablet, hence the Yoga name. We've tested a number of the models in this range, so where does this Intel i3 processor powered model...

Lenovo Yoga 520 review: Versatile laptop for its price tag

 

Lenovo Yoga 520 laptop review: The laptop has 360-degree hinge, support for Windows Tablet mode and Lenovo Active Pen, and here's how it fares in terms of performance.

If you want a touchscreen laptop that can be used as a tablet as well with Stylus support, then the Lenovo Yoga 520 is certainly an option, given it is not as expensive as some of the others in the market. I would still recommend getting more RAM,...

Lenovo Yoga 520

 

Laptop itself worked fine for about a month, then the hinges started to act up and eventually the right one broke completely. You have to hold the hinge in place while opening or closing the laptop or the entire back panel peels off. I had warranty so...

Fantastic laptop

 

"Bought for our daughter and she absolutely loves it. Perfect for study and for downtime too. She's a bit wary about folding the screen right back but it all seems ok. "
