Lenovo IdeaPad Y530



The IdeaPad Y530 has to offer some amazing features to consumers in a budget laptop systems. It uses the Intel GM45 chipset, there are some amazing features you do not expect in a low-cost PC, how would such quick DDR3 memory, draft-n wireless support and new integrated graphics.

All that would be great if Lenovo laptop does not use an earlier 32-bit Intel Pentium Dual Core processor, the system boundaries for 32-bit software. When user can accept this slower processor, packaged at the end with a very functional notebook for the money. Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 Review



Customer Reviews


Great laptop ... not perfect, but good:)

By oasisman "oasisman" (Poland)

This review is for: Lenovo IdeaPad Y530-7343U

Pros:

  1. Price performance ratio in the price range under $ 800
  2. If you glossy screens ... also this is very nice, like. And yes, it is very thoughtful, but it does not cause problems in the spotlight with some strong background. I was a little afraid that it's all to reflect on and disturbing scrren actual images, but everyhing good.
  3. 4 speakers really do their job ... much better than standard two speakers buzzzz:)
  4. All connections are on the sides (better availability then on the back)
  5. Design (presonally i dont care that around in a computer, but you can:)
  6. external battery indicator nice (!)

Cons:

  1. Vista (but I'm too lazy to under grade)
  2. protection for the screen rubbers are under your wrist, while (type not painful, just annoying)
  3. touch-pad buttons might be a little more sensitive (sometimes you need a double double-click for some things to work .. or is it just Vista?:)
  4. loads of unnecessary programs from Lenovo Norton, ect.

Overall, I recommend this laptop for at home and not hardcore (quite big and heavy) mobile use.
