I had to do a double take when you compare the specifications of the Lenovo IdeaPad price list 1066A9U-V570: $ 629.99for a 15.6-inch screen with a second generation of Intel Core i5, large hard drive, a large amount connectivity options WIDI 2.0, WiMAX, and an elegant aluminum frame.
Design
Typically, most budget notebooks chassis is made of plastic, but recently we have seen, such as laptops HP Pavilion dv6-6013cl ($ 629.99), covered with aluminum. V570 IdeaPad following the same path, with a little gray brushed metal lid and palm rest. It weighs 5.47 pounds, so it's slightly lighter than the HP Pavilion 1a69us G6 (629.99 $) (5.5 pounds) and HP-dv6 6013cl (5.6 pounds).
The 15.6-inch screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768, equivalent to 720p HD. If you are looking for something more along the lines of 1080p HD, you need to dig a little deeper to pay for a laptop like the Dell XPS 15z (1,534 dollars). Above the screen is a webcam for videoconferencing and Web conferencing, according to their business. The keyboard is full size chiclet "keycap" or curved shape fingers and feels firmer, which gives a good typing experience (so portable keyboards go). There is also a numeric keypad, but it is a bit tight, zero key has been much less to make room for the arrow keys and the keys themselves are smaller. Similarly, the shift key, which can affect most users, have become smaller to accommodate the arrow keys as well.
The experience of the navigation was so nice: texture multi-touch touchpad responded well to two-finger scrolling and zoom control terminal and the mouse buttons offer a sweet experience and the sound click.
Feature
V570 IdeaPad should be completely connected, which offers three USB 2.0 ports, one Combo Drive USB / eSATA, audio interface, card reader, Ethernet, VGA and HDMI. And there are more than the hard-line alternatives. IdeaPad V570 wireless display also features Intel (Widi 2.0), allowing wireless streaming of content on your laptop to HDTV 1080p (Remember that you must have a Netgear receiver Push2TV). WiMax, another wireless capabilities, you can connect to the Internet the same way your smartphone 3G or 4G does not work. 802.11n Wi-Fi is also available.
Other features include a fingerprint reader (for those who like the security), DVD-RW, Wi-Fi on / off, and software added by Lenovo as facial recognition. Unit 640 GB hard disk should provide enough space for your digital download, but the eSATA will give you the ability to connect external hard drives more quickly if you need more space. The hard drive operates at a slower rpm instead of 5400 to 7200 rpm are the Dell XPS 15z.
V570 IdeaPad a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5-2410M processor and 6 GB of memory has done wonders for the performance results compared to budget laptops. It turned out a portable media R11.5 our Cinebench tests, to collect 2.6 points from the Pavilion dv6 6013cl-score of 2.04. Our test Photoshop CS5, V570 IdeaPad went to our 12 image filters, 4 minutes and 10 seconds to beat the 5:48 time dv6-6013cl.
Although the V570 IdeaPad not a separate chip graphics, the results show that a value can be added to more casual players. World of Warcraft fans and players of 3D and lighting torches to be satisfied with what this laptop has to offer. Games like Crysis (DirectX 10) (13.35 fps average) and creation of Lost Planet 2 (17fps medium setting, DX9) will not play without a discrete graphics chipset.
