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.

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!!

All of these are great laptops. I agree on getting the 14" screen. I have the Yoga 710 14" and love it.
How much space do you need for storage? As far as differences go, check out the tech specs on the page you linked. Other than that, look up some laptop reviews to give you a better idea.
Also, Lenovo outlet has some good deals sometimes - https://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/outletus/laptops/c/LAPTOPS?menu-id=Laptops_Ultrabooks
There's a new 520s 14" in there for only $608. Unfortunately it's got a 1TB 5400RPM spindle drive in it which will slow it down but it could be upgraded too.
