Lenovo IdeaPad Y510

-March 28, 2008-
IdeaPad Y510 is another nice, promising, and cheap laptop from Lenovo. Most new notebooks are more expensive, usually their price tag is above $1,200. However, Lenovo has another idea. They realize people are searching for cheap laptops, such as the oldie MacBook Pro 15” or Asus Eee PC 4G. Lenovo then made their idea come true with their brand new IdeaPad Y510.

Its casing design is created from plastic layer and its screen design is designed without any frames. Hence, the design looks different from other Lenovo laptops. Actually there is no new thing at all from this laptop except its design. As usual, Lenovo brings the best keyboard in the business. Ideapad Y510 continues the tradition, its keyboard is better than laptops from other manufacturers.

About performance, of course IdeaPad Y510 is not one of the leaders. With only Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 (1.6 GHz), IdeaPad Y510 is still behind its competitors. Let’s talk a little bit about ports and features. This laptop has one FireWire and 3 USB ports, one dual layer DVD drive, and 6-in-1 card reader. Don’t forget that IdeaPad Y510 also has passed the Energy Star 4.0 certification so this laptop is environmentally friendly even though it’s cheap.
