Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga 510-15ISK

Budget hybrid done right
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
We can’t be sure whether the Yoga 510 is a successor to the Yoga 500 but one thing is for sure, this version is worth the money even if it costs a few bucks more. The build quality is outstanding for a notebook at this price range while the touchpad and keyboard performance is great. It’s also pretty lightweight for a 15-incher and considerably thinner than most of its competitors. However, the size and weight don’t actually translate into comfortable usage in tablet mode which raises the question whether a 15-inch diagonal is actually worth making it into a 2-in-1 device in the first place. The form factor may also be the main reason the screen wobbles so much when using the touch panel. Anyway, if the notebook is priced right – considering the $600 starting price, we bet it would – it might be the logical choice between a standard 15-inch machine and the Yoga 510.

Model: The Lenovo Yoga 510 is a versatile laptop. It can charge 40% faster than other laptops, be folded, flipped, stand and tilted to fit the user’s needs. The chassis is robust with quality materials used, features a sleek-looking design and it is designed for users who are looking for multiple ways to play and work. The Microsoft Windows 10 system uses a 2.3 to 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5-6200U processor, an Intel HD Graphics 520 graphic card, 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM and a 1 TB hard disk. Its glossy 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display is bright and detail-rich for both multimedia and gaming.

The keyboard looks premium since Lenovo uses an anodized aluminum that looks like a diamond cut on it and it delivers a good and comfortable typing experience. In addition, there are media player control keys placed above the Numpad keys for a seamless entertainment experience. Its connectivity options include two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, a combo audio jack and a memory card reader, which supports SD, MMC and SDXC formats. It has a thin and light design with 2.07 kg and its battery life can last up to 5:10 hours on average usage.

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

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

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
