Lenovo Ideapad Y550 Multi-Media Laptop Computer Review

A True Multimedia Notebook.

The Lenovo Ideapad Y550 is part of Lenovo’s new line of revamped laptops. It’s no secret that Lenovo has been making great business notebooks with the ThinkPad line for quite some time, but they’ve never had anything that was for general and multimedia use.

The Y550 is a multi-media maven’s dream with many options that cater to them like Nvidia GFX and Dolby sound. The Ideapad Y550 also comes with a 15.6-inch widescreen display with 16:10 aspect ratio. It has a little bit of everything power, portability and a great price. The Y550 comes with a Intel Core 2 Duo processor but can be upgraded for an additional price to a Core i7 processor. The starting prices on the Y550 laptops are very nice to at $669.

Specifications for the test Lenovo Ideapad Y550:

• Intel Core 2 Duo processor T6600 (2.20GHz 800MHz 2MBL2)
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
• nVidia Geforce G 210M graphic card with 512MB memory
• 15.6 HD WLED Glossy, 1366*768 with 1.3M integrated Camera
• 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066MHz SODIMM Memory (2 Dimms)
• 320GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
• SuperMulti DVD Recordable (Tray type)
• Intel WiFi Link 5100 1×2 (AGN) WLAN
• 6 Cell Lithium-Ion 2.6Ah
• 1Year Depot Warranty
• $804.99

Conclusion

The Lenovo Ideapad Y550 is a good looking multi-media laptop with only a few places that need improvement. The heat and noise isn’t too much and the performance is very good especially for a laptop that is under $900. The benefits of the discrete graphics are great it’s not that expensive to upgrade on the Lenovo site. With some tinkering you can set yourself up a very nice Windows 7 laptop for under $1000

Pros:

• Lid design
• Performance to price ratio
• Comfortable touchpad and keyboard

Cons:

• Needs more USB ports
• 1366×768 resolution screen

Laptop purchase deal?

I just bought a new laptop for $999 (australian dollars) from JBHIFI. Its a Compaq Presario CQ60-118TX. I cant find a review for this particular laptop by anyone on the internet including CNET. No one has reviewed this laptop! is this a bad laptop for the price?? What is other similar options similar to this? It seems this laptop is only popular in India and Philiphines and not so widely used in Australia or the USA.

Features:
Intel Pentium Dual Core Mobile Processor T3200 (2.0 Ghz)
250 MB (5400RPM) Hard Drive
2048 DDR2 SDRAM (1 Dimm)

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge…
