Price
At $1,500, the Lenovo Ideapad 720s-15 (FHD/8GB/512GB) I purchased competes with the XPS 15 series. However, Lenovo has been aggressively discounting the 720S 15 lines, and my SKU was reduced to $1,200 the week I purchased it. The i5/8GB/256GB SKU is $999, and the UHD/16GB/1TB SKU is $1,600 (why, oh why, wasn’t this available in 1080P?!).

This laptop came dangerously close to the excellent 14″ Gigabyte Aero 14W and discounted Razer Blade 14. Both models have a better GPU and more RAM, but some tradeoffs exist. If gaming is your primary concern, you can save money by upgrading to a GTX 1060 MaxQ with a Dell Inspiron 7000 Gaming.
Performance
The 1050Ti Max-Q is the distinguishing feature between the Lenovo 720S 15 and inserts a generic sleek laptop here>. The new Max-Q designs enable excellent performance in this form factor. I’ve played DOTA 2, Fortnite, Overwatch, Killing Floor 2, and Doom 2016* at medium or high settings at 60 frames per second. Under load, GPU temperatures with undervolted settings reached 71 degrees Celsius. The CPU performs admirably under load when using the Intel 620 IGP for productivity tasks. With undervaluing, the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark is 2,307 – 2,165 Graphics and 3,672 CPU.
Battery Life of the Lenovo Ideapad 720s-15
One thing that sets this laptop apart from others with similar features is its 79-watt hour battery with legs. The best part is that it allows you to charge quickly . One hour plugged in will give you an 80% charge. While I have yet to completely drain the battery in a single session . I am currently at 72% after 2 hours and 45 minutes of browsing, writing, and streaming. A safe estimate for time on a single charge would be 8.5-10 hours of battery life. (This is at 40% screen brightness and -150mV undervaluing in battery saver mode.)
Software
Lenovo was stingy with the installed software bloat. I uninstalled the standard antivirus trial and the Windows 10 games, but this was a much cleaner install than is typical on consumer hardware.
