Lenovo brings the new supercharger GeForce GTX 1650 to its IdeaPad S540 laptop

[Redaktion]

Lenovo will be offering its IdeaPad S540 laptop with a new discrete graphics card option in the form of Nvidia's recently released mobile GeForce GTX 1650. It was previously expected that the S540-15IWL model would come with discrete GPU choices of either a GeForce GTX 1050 or MX250 graphics solution.

very good article, informative and right to the point, thanks!

ps
unless i am missing something about gamers' psychology, why do they need the right hand numeric section of the keyboard?!? i thought this was for data entry folks in the 70s and 80s... :-) LOL

The IdeaPad 330 had a GTX 1050 option but judging on the service repair guide, the cooling system looked weak. I don't this IdeaPad S540 would have a cooling system any better.

Since it's not specifically a gaming laptop, it can be used for other tasks - like work.  I use the num pad all the time.  GFX cards can be used for much more than just gaming.

My main concern is why so stingy on the RAM.  Give it a decent graphics card, cripple the RAM.  Why?  Should have at least 16 GB IMO to really be useful for work tasks, like VMs.
