Lenovo IdeaPad Z510-59400169

The Lenovo IdeaPad is a practical gadget that seems to encompass all the basic user needs, including a favorite feature of many users these days, a 15.6 inch screen. Although not as slim as its other notebook contemporaries, the ThinkPad, at a thickness of 1 inch (2.54 cm) is still relatively portable and weighs a moderate 2.2 kg. This may be considered heavy by some, but it is not as cumbersome as say, certain gaming notebooks. The hardware includes an Intel Core i7-4702HQ which clocks at up to 2.4 GHz, a 1 TB SATA HDD and 4 GB of RAM. All these features will no doubt make data processing and entertainment a breeze. Additionally, there is an NVidia GeForce GT 740M graphics card installed. As an added and unique bonus, the IdeaPad features an optional voice control command that allows users to access simple commands, and dictate type e-mails and other documents. This feature is extremely useful for disabled users as well as for those who need work done rapidly. Installed as user OS is a Windows 8 program optimized with a touchpad that is sensitive and features rotating, scrolling and zooming functions. The notebook also comes with an AccuType keyboard with a backlight which allows typing in low light and JBL designed stereo speakers for a clear and immersive audio experience.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

Intel Core i5:

4200M: Haswell-based dual-core processor clocked at 2.5 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.1 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

4702MQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.2 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.

Intel Core i3:

4000M:

Haswell-based dual-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with no Turbo Boost support. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

72.83%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
