Background and Identification

Lenovo’s IdeaPad (stylized as ideapad) series is a line of consumer-oriented laptops from Lenovo, a Chinese-Hong Kong technology company. IdeaPad computers compete against computers such as Acer’s Aspire, Dell’s Inspiron and XPS, HP’s Pavilion and Envy, Samsung’s Sens, and Toshiba’s Satellite. The Lenovo IdeaPad 700 series is a class of home and office personal computers. The series consists of a 13-inch, 14-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch laptop. The 700 series does not include multi-touch displays, but all models use Intel Core i7 processors and Nvidia GeForce video cards.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 700 15" includes a 15-inch display, as the name suggests. It runs on a Windows 10 Home 64-bit Edition operating system. It has an installed cache memory of 6 MB and installed RAM of 16 GB. The laptop includes an LED-backlit high definition display. It has a 256 GB solid-state hard drive (SSD) and a second 1 TB hard-disk drive. The IdeaPad 700 15” includes a three-cell 45-Watt-hour, lithium-polymer battery.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 700 15" includes two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port, and an HDMI port. It also includes a headphone/microphone combination jack. A review of the Lenovo IdeaPad 700 15" from Notebook Review appreciated the laptop’s excellent speakers and vibrant display but has awkward touchpad placement and weak feedback on its keyboard.
