Lenovo Y550 Review

Lenovo Y550 Review
The IdeaPad Y550 is frequently a 15.6" multimedia laptop computer from Lenovo supplied in the combine of affordable and high-end configurations. The best from the checklist method choices consist of an Intel middle i7 processor and NVIDIA GT 240M dedicated artwork even although additional affordable types consist of conventional middle a few of Duo processors and integrated graphics. on this evaluation we look at a type equipped using the Intel T6400 processor and Intel X4500 integrated graphics.

The Y550 feels properly made when in comparison with most customer notebooks but nevertheless appears like it may be enhanced in some areas. The display hinges are quite stiff and needs two arms to available the cover. The lip from the include performs in opposition for you when attempting to available the display thinking about that it hugs the palmrest closely. The display include has some minor flex but nevertheless does a superb job at stopping display distortions whenever you press inside the back again from the display. The chassis has some minor flex whenever you preserve the laptop computer within of the oxygen from the borders from the palmrest, however it nevertheless feels dependable if firmly pressed once the laptop computer is sitting on the flat surface. The keyboard doesn't flex much, but most appropriate above the optical generate in circumstance you press challenging enough you can obtain the keyboard bottom to create a clicking sound. suit and carry out is great overall, but just one place stuck out in the nit-picking way. I think the speaker grills are designed to sit flush using the bezel above the keyboard and on equally speakers just one borders sticks up higher compared to other.

The WXGA show inside the Y550 appears to turn out to be the greatest resolution supplied on this model. Even the very much better configurations are limited to 1366x768. this really is lacking when in comparison in the direction of the Dell Studio 15 that may possibly be configured getting a 1080p panel in configurations commencing at much under $800. The panel provides great coloring and contrast, ranking center from the pack when in comparison with most notebooks. dark ranges are great at reduced and center backlight levels, but show some backlight creep near to 100%. Peak brightness ranges are exceptional for viewing in brilliant workplace problems getting a safe property or home viewing level someplace among the sixty and 70%. Viewing angles show up standard with colours displaying considerable inversion in as small as 10 degrees when tilted back. Horizontal viewing angles look very much better, displaying no notable coloring shift even when viewing away from your extremely borders from the screen.

The keyboard is safe to sort on and consists of a quite dependable typing surface. Transitioning to this keyboard from my ThinkPad was no problem, especially thinking about the fact that essential actions felt extremely similar. The only tactile distinction I found out among the this keyboard as well as the ThinkPad keyboard may be the essential shape; the ThinkPad keys possess a additional "cupped" really feel to them.

Lenovo also consists of numerous touch-sensitive and click-style buttons near to the keyboard to manage fast entry functions. The conventional buttons consist of the solo to change movement photo modes, one more to fill the Dolby audio tracks manage panel, and audio tracks switches to adjust amount and mute the speakers. A blinking slider bar within of the center lets you swiftly entry 4 pre-set Lenovo applications.
