Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15AMN7 Review
Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15AMN7 with Ryzen 5 7520U, 4GB soldered plus one free SO-DIMM slot bringing it to 8GB shipped, expandable to 20GB.
An entry-level laptop with a genuine hybrid memory design: part soldered, part user-upgradable, unusual and worth knowing about at this price.
Overview
The IdeaPad 1 15AMN7 ships 4GB soldered to the board plus a 4GB SO-DIMM in its single slot, so buyers can add one larger module later without discarding a matched pair.
Our verdict
Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.
Expert rating5.6 / 10
The IdeaPad 1 15 is a basic 15.6-inch laptop with a Ryzen 5 7520U, 8GB of DDR4 and a 512GB SSD. It has a free SO-DIMM slot with support up to 20GB, so a later memory upgrade is possible for budget buyers.
The display is a TN panel, so colors and viewing angles are weaker than IPS screens. The 38 Wh battery is small, and WiFi 5 is dated.
Best for
- Budget buyers who may add RAM later
Not for
- Performance-sensitive users
