    Hi!



    This is my first post here and I'm looking for some recommendations.



    My old Dell XPS14Z just died after 5 years and I need a new laptop



    I basically use my computer to work and to DJ. I use traktor and ableton. I wanted to buy a Mac, but i might be a little bit too expensive and as much as my first Dell was amazing, the XPS had many problems. So I'm thinking of switching to Lenovo and this are my 3 favorite options.



    IDEAPAD 720s 13 - https://www3.lenovo.com/ca/en//laptops/ideapad/ideapad-700-series/Ideapad-720S-13-Intel/p/81BV002GUS

    IDEAPAD 520s 14 - https://www3.lenovo.com/ca/en//lapt...series/Lenovo-IdeaPad-520S-14IKB/p/81BL009FUS

    IDEAPAD 720s 14 - https://www3.lenovo.com/ca/en//laptops/ideapad/ideapad-700-series/Ideapad-720S-14/p/81BD001NUS



    Ideally, and for DJ matters, I think a 14'' screen would do better. And so for the cheaper price the 520 could be my best option? What are the differences between the 720 and the 520?



    I'm texting from a Inspiron 5000 13 that I bought today and I'm returning this piece of crap. Looking for recomendations and open to suggestions. Thanks a lot!!

    I just ordered an IdeaPad 720, it's on back order and won't be here until the end of May. I Choose it because of the good reviews, good battery life and good screen. For me the screen and battery life are the most important. I had a Dell 15" 7000 series that I returned a few days ago because it sucked. (poor screen, poor battery life)
