Four Gigabytes of Memory, Very Well Priced, Excellent Keyboard
Palm Rest Gets Hot With Extended Use, Odd Hard Drive Partitioning
Lenovos IdeaPad Y510 is probably one of the best thin and light notebook systems when you look at the overall features it provides and its cost. Items such as 4GB of RAM, Bluetooth and dedicted graphics make this a very good laptop for those looking a...
Screen is too reflective; no productivity suite or HDMI port; mediocre battery life
Forget the staid, buttoned-down ThinkPads. Lenovos first consumer notebook has the same solid construction with casual Friday looks—at an attractive price point. But a too-glossy screen, an absent HDMI port, and poor battery life hamper this otherwi...

Solid construction; reasonably priced; face-recognition software that actually works; decent battery life.
Fixed configuration; overly glossy screen; no Bluetooth.
Lenovos entry into the consumer laptop market with the 15-inch IdeaPad Y510 provides ThinkPad-like quality but the design still comes off as a little buttoned-up.
Good-looking, textured design. Frameless widescreen is sleek. Keyboard isnt like a ThinkPads, but its nice. Five speakers and Dolby surround sound. Budget price.

Lenovos first consumer laptop in the United States has excellent design appeal, but its available only through limited retail channels....

Overly glossy/reflective display, A little heavy compared to competition
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 is a solid notebook with some innovative features that deserves close consideration. Lenovo has taken a giant leap from their popular ThinkPad line of business notebooks in an attempt to attract general consumer laptop shoppers....
Abstract: For 15 years the ThinkPad has been the premium marque of the business world. The made-for-mainstream IdeaPad is long overdue but worth the wait: this is easily Australias best value budget notebook. The design elegantly adds top-deck detail and sheen...
Abstract: Like Volvos of old, Lenovo was a solid, reliable and unexciting name. Up until now. The business-masters have turned out a very desirable, stylish and powerful laptop. When Lenovo bought IBM’s computer division it went from ‘big in China&...
Attractive design, good sound and connectivity, built-in webcam
Limited viewing angle, facial recognition is not a viable security measure and One Key Recovery can cause problems for novice users due to inconvenient partitioning The Final Word The Y510-300 is a fairy decent all-purpose notebook suitable for those w...
The Y510-300 is a fairy decent all-purpose notebook suitable for those with a strong budget and an eye for design. With good connectivity and strong hardware performance, just make sure you use the D drive after purchase.
