The new Lenovo Ideapad Y650 is the latest launch of Lenovo in the consumer notebook market. It is a 16 inch notebook at an affordable price that offers a very nice hardware spec, a sleek design and good looks. It has a very nice display and offers a very good performance with great speakers. In this paper, we consider the new Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 and see how it stacks up against the other 16-inch notebooks on offer along with the Dell XPS Studio 16, HP Pavilion HDX 16, etc.
Design and quality
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 sports a very sleek design, unlike the earlier level, boxy ThinkPad design. The black and white look really suits office settings, it is characterized by its simplicity. There is a matt black exterior combines with the bright white interior to a very convincing design to create. It should be equally appealing to most users, casual and office. It has dimensions of 15.4 x 10.2 x 1.0 inches, making it one of the thinnest 16 inch laptop in existence. It is also very light and portable at only 5.6 pounds, which he owes his carbon-fiber chassis. The build quality is very good and very durable. It should take just more than a few years with proper use.

Display and speakers
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 sports a 16 inch display with a native resolution of 1366 x 766 pixels. The picture quality is very good and the display has nice brightness and contrast. The viewing angles are very wide, horizontal and vertical, which is a must in a multimedia-centric notebook. It would have been great if there was a greater resolution. The display is perfectly suited for games and movies. It is one of the best displays in this area. The visibility in direct light is decent. The display has a very small frame and looks almost like it’s an edge to edge display. The glossy look is very appealing.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 has a number of double-speaker of the keyboard. It is powered by Dolby technology and offers superior sound quality and volume as well as awesome. They are ideal for multimedia use. You can also use headphones for better quality.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 sports a standard full-size keyboard with good range and the standard key bindings. The keys have a nice trip and offer good feedback. There is zero flex in the keyboard area, the evidence for the outstanding quality and robust chassis. It is entirely suitable for touch typists. The keys have a nice feeling. It does not include a dedicated number pad, despite the space to a place, but that should not be much of an issue for most users. Some keys are a bit to accommodate the speakers and shrunk a power button on the left side and volume controls on the right. Just above the keyboard are a series of touch-sensitive media controls.
Much space has been wasted near the keyboard and touchpad area. Just below the keyboard, see the touch pad in the middle is. The touchpad is very spacious and can easily pan the whole screen at standard resolution. It’s nice attractive and offers good levels of sensitivity. It has a nice textured surface that in aids to navigation. It also has a vertical scroll bar on the right side of the touchpad. Both touchpad buttons have a nice feel and provide good feedback. Since the touchpad is a Synaptics one, it also has some basic multi-touch functionality.

Performance
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 sports excellent hardware configuration – it is the Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 with 2.53 GHz with 3 MB L2 cache driven. It is based on the latest Intel Centrino 2 Duo technology. It also has 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, more than enough for the bundled MS Windows Vista Home Premium is. The storage part is a 320 GB SATA HDD 5400 U min treated. The graphics department is handled by the Nvidia GeForce G105M with 256 MB VRAM. The processor is very fast and efficient. The graphical power of the Lenovo Ideapad Y650 is slightly below expectations. It can handle older games at low settings, but do not expect it to run the latest games, especially at high settings. The overall performance is good, especially at this price. It falls slightly short of the Dell XPS Studio 16, in terms of performance. The hard drive is fairly fast and has good reading and writing speeds.
Battery Life and Other Features
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 is powered by a 6-cell battery, the notebook for about 2 hours and 50 minutes, on a single charge with moderate use of juice. It can be 3 hours and 10 minutes to reach some battery saving tips in place such as a reduction in system volume, reducing the display brightness and turn off the WLAN.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 comes with a number of expansion ports – it has 2 USB V2.0 ports, Ethernet, HDMI, headphone, microphone, VG, eSATA, a 6-in-1 card reader and an ExpressCard slot . It also has Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1. The Wi-Fi reception is pretty nice and has good speed.

Conclusion
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 is a very good option to search for a cheap 16-inch option with great multimedia features in a sleek and compact form. However, if you can compromise on the weight loss, I would recommend the Dell XPS Studio 16, which is also a good option and offers much better graphics.
