At just 11.9 mm, the IdeaPad 730S is our thinnest notebook yet. Encased in sandblasted premium aluminum and weighing only 2.43 lbs / 1.1 kg, the IdeaPad 730S will go everywhere you do.
Plus USB C charging.

Dang, OP. If only this was available Black Friday. I already bought a new laptop...

Sucks that you cannot upgrade the RAM

I have this laptop and oh my God, you're gonna feel like you're gonna drop it since it's so light. I upgraded the SSD to a 970 EVO, the one that's inside was a Hynix? I think. Double sided NVME drives will not work.

Charges via USB C PD. Bought an Aukey charger that has two USB C ports, one for my phone and one for the laptop. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B07XF3JKPQ

Great laptop if you're a student!

I ordered. I hope it's good. But I was wondering if it's worth the $180 more for the 16gb version since the RAM is soldered.

A little bit cheaper ordering direct from Lenovo via SMB pro and cash back.

$652.67 - 9% back = $593.93 before tax

Should come to $672.34 in BC after tax and cash back

Hello friends,

I had ordered the Lenovo deal from Black Friday on amazon and will be returning it unless someone in the west GTA wants it. Not looking to make money on it, was $678 after tax. If nobody is interested I’ll be returning it. It’s still brand new in sealed box.

PM me if interested. Will be returning on Saturday otherwise.

Lenovo Flex 14 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop, 14 Inch FHD (1920 X 1080) Touchscreen Display, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Processor, 12GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10

There is a full thread in expired deals on this unit with upgrade options.

Gullible? Click here to find out!

ideapad 730s FHD screen is actually decent - about full sRGB (98% when I tested it myself). it is not as vibrant or bright as my XPS 15 4K (full adobeRGB) or MBP 13 (full DCI-P3), but that's expected.
Overall, best value premium no frill laptop since late last year.

I returned mine (i7/16G/512G) because I found the bottom got too hot under load and it was uncomfortable to use on my laps. Later, I realized MBP is way way way worse. lol

Yes they are shipping from states. But they cover all logistics related to shipping which includes duties.

Not sure that I would buy from this seller. All his feedback (122) is in the past month, with 5 neg and 2 neutrals for feedback rating of 96.5%. That is not good. Even some of his positives are negative, IE the order was cancelled.

If you are worried about this seller then order it from here:
https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/id ... 8YGS701077
It's $45 more but you buy directly from Lenovo Canada and its still a great deal
