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
