  • 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...

  • Fairly priced; great-looking; solidly built; good performance; cool face-recognition security software
  • 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.

  • ldquo;Lenovo makes that!?” This was our reaction when we saw the IdeaPad Y510 for the first time. Breaking from its staid corporate offerings, Lenovo’s first consumer notebook sports a new, albeit polarizing, look compared with the ThinkPad li...

  • 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&...

  • 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.
