Just need a small laptop for work. I'm not looking at anything other than these two. I actually already bought the first 1 (and haven't opened it yet) but noticed Costco might have a better option. Not for gaming at all. I will only be using Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 365 plus 1 or 2 other productivity type programs, nothing major.

1. Lenovo Yoga 6 13.3" AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U 2.1ghz with 8gb RAM and 256GB SSD Model #: 82FN003TUS - $630 (now $730 at Best Buy but I got it on sale at the $630)

2. Lenovo IdeaPad S540 13.3" Intel Core i5-10210U with 16gb RAM and 512 SSD Model #: 81XA0095US - $550


The Lenovo Yoga is a 2 in 1 meaning it has touch screen and can fold in to a tablet style computer. I don't necessarily need this as I have an iPad, but whatever. At first glance, when I ran a check, the Yoga seems to have a better processor than the IdeaPad, but the IdeaPad obviously has more RAM and a bigger SSD. Also to note, I typically don't store a lot of files on my actual computers. I use Microsoft OneDrive for file storage and have options for external file storage if needed.

The price difference isn't a major deal for me.

Let me know what you think.

I think the extra $ is mostly for the tablet thing the Yoga does, but if you don't care about the cost the differences aren't major enough to switch.

... assuming the RAM is gb, not mb.

Lol, yep, that’s what I meant. Thanks.
