Middle of the pack. The 15.6-inch Lenovo all-rounder is priced relatively high for the average features that it offers. The case and screen are both weak points that influence the rating.

Lenovo Ideapad 310-15IKB

The Lenovo Ideapad 310-15IKB is a straight up multimedia laptop built for online music streaming and movie watching. At first glance, this notebook appears in a slim profile notwithstanding its wide 15-inch form factor. Construction is overall solid and firm as it is built with durable matte plastic. Though it uses plastic as its case, it still manages to look good and minimal. The dimensions measure at 37.9 x 26,01 x 2,29 cm (14.92 x 10.24 x 0.9 inch) and its weight starts at 2.2 kg. To maximize its multimedia capacity, it is fitted with a 15.6-inch HD glossy multi-touch (1366 x 768) display with an integrated camera. The touchscreen option is a nice complement to its keypad for ease of accessibility but the low resolution is quite unreasonable for watching movies or other videos. Switching between the touchscreen and keypad appears seamless and flawless and it certainly seems like Lenovo has done the software part of it well enough. This series is one of the earliest Ideapad models which adopt the latest Intel Kabylake CPUs. It is powered by the 7th generation Intel Core i5-7200U Processor with graphics rendered by the popular Intel HD Graphics 620. With these specs, system performance is good as users do not need to endure long waiting times while launching programs or starting the system. Users have the option of integrating memory of up to 8 GB DDR4 2133 MHz and storage of up to 1 TB 5400 RPM. Overall, the Ideapad 310-15IKB is well equipped and will be suitable for proper multitasking. Audio quality on this laptop is equally impressive thanks to 2 stereo speakers with Dolby Audio. This laptop comes with a 30 Wh battery and it is capable of up to 5 hours video playback, according to Lenovo. Its 15-inch form factor grants it allowance to retain an optical drive, which is a feature fast disappearing in recent laptops. Connectivity on this device includes USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, VGA and HDMI port for display output, and even a RJ45 Gigabit LAN port. The LAN port might not be very useful for many users but for those who need it, there are not many alternatives in the market. The laptop comes pre-installed with Windows 10 Home. In all, the Ideapad 310 is an all-round laptop which performs well for everyday tasks with the added touchscreen feature. Its wide 15-inch display will continue to be a pull factor for those who want to work with a larger display even though the masses have moved on to handy and tote-sized 10-inch tablets and 13-inch ultrabooks. It may lack enhancements such as a fingerprint sensor or a high-end camera for face detection, yet these deficiencies do not render it any less efficient. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

Lenovo Ideapad 310 review – a decent budget all-rounder
Source: Laptop Media English

Archive.org version
The Lenovo Ideapad 310 is okay in most aspects. For the asking price, you get the latest generation Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor paired with NVIDIA GeForce 920MX, which can be considered as slightly underpowered compared to other alternatives on the market but does its job well. Also, gaming is possible… conditionally. For a few extra bucks, you can snatch the more powerful Ideapad 510, which also boasts an IPS panel making the multimedia experience far better.

Comment

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.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce 920MX: Upcoming (Q1 2016) entry-level graphics card with support for DDR3 (slow) and GDDR5 (fast) graphics memory.

Intel HD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2) found on some Kaby-Lake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

AMD Radeon R7 (Bristol Ridge): Integrated graphics card in some Bristol Ridge APUs and based on the GCN architecture with 512 shader units and clock speeds of up to 900 MHz (9830P).

AMD Radeon R5 M430: Entry-level graphics card based on a 28nm GPU with DirectX 12 support.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

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.

6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Kaby Lake:

i5-7200U: Kaby-Lake based SoC with two CPU cores clocked at 2.5 to 3.1 GHz, HyperThreading and manufactured with an improved 14nm process.

i3-7100U: Kaby-Lake based SoC with two CPU cores clocked at 2.4 GHz (no Turbo Boost), HyperThreading and manufactured with an improved 14nm process.

i7-7500U: Kaby-Lake based SoC with two CPU cores clocked at 2.7 to 3.5 GHz, HyperThreading and manufactured with an improved 14nm process.

AMD Bristol Ridge:

A12-9700P: Mid-range Bristol Ridge APU from 2016. Integrates 4 CPU cores with 2.5-3.4 GHz, dual-channel DDR4 memory controller as well as a Radeon R7 GPU with a TDP of 15 Watts.

A10-9600P: Mid-range APU of the Bristol Ridge series with 4 CPU-cores (two Excavator modules) clocked at 2.4 - 3.3 GHz.

Intel Core i5:

6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Core i3:

6100U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

71.06%: 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.
