The optional dedicated MX graphics unit is a nice equipment feature that offers a bit more graphics performance. In this review, we evaluate how the Lenovo IdeaPad S340 with Nvidia GeForce MX230 turns out.

The title says that the CPU is a i7-8550U (which belongs to a previous generation), but the body of the article speaks only about i3-8145U, i5-8265U and i7-8565U. Please correct this.

Are you sure the memory cannot be upgraded?  Did you remove that metal cover over the memory card slot?  Because others with this same notebook show it's quite easy to upgrade the RAM - an additional 16GB is possible!

"Lenovo offers buyers of the IdeaPad S340 a warranty period of 24 months". I think your math is incorrect, 24 months  = 2 years yet right under this you show the standard warranty as 1 year.

I don't understand your scoring system. A screen that has a sRGB color coverage of 58% and 250nit gets 85 points? How is that possible? Are you Lenova agents? >:D

Where can the Lenovo IdeaPad S340 be bought/what country and is it available in the colour pink/rose gold as shown in the photo above?

The Lenovo website for Australia says that it is not yet realised in Australia, where is this computer being sold?

Thank you :)
