A laptop
Reviews Lenovo Ideapad S510P gets different. Someone liked this model for its dimensions, someone was pleased with its performance. The device is positioned as a working tool with a focus on multimedia. Is this so, we will consider further.
In the meantime, we have a good reliable model with a discreet design. A laptop can become an indispensable assistant for a student or office worker. At the same time, it will give time for entertainment. And most importantly, all this is at a moderate cost.
Appearance
Appearance of the laptop Lenovo Ideapad S510P reviews gathered positive. Firstly, we have a strict but stylish black case. Everything is quite universal and simple. Secondly, the materials are of high quality and, at first glance, are not satisfactory. Thirdly, the dimensions of the laptop are universal. Of course, he is far from ultrabook models. But the dimensions make it a mobile device, and for a laptop this is important.
The lid is made of durable plastic. Textured coating adds rigor to the model. In addition, it protects the device from dirt, does not collect fingerprints and dust. In the upper left corner is the logo.
The bottom surface of the device does not stand out. There is a place for the battery. Several screws are visible for self-parsing. You can clean the inside of the case from dust.
Items
The back face is completely exempted from additional elements. There is practically nothing on the front either. Only standard indicators are located here. They indicate the condition of the laptop, power on, battery power, wireless network. There is a card reader.
The left end, as usual, is stuffed with connectors. There is a place to connect the battery. Next, we placed a radiator grille, through which the fan carries out the outlet and intake of air. Following is the place to connect the standard RJ-45 Internet cable. Next comes the HDMI output for connecting a monitor and a pair of USB 3.0. In general, such a set should be enough for the average user.
The right end is freer. Most of them are occupied by an optical drive, which in the latest models is slowly abandoned. Behind it is another USB connector, but version 2.0, and a combined audio connector. Regarding the latter, you can find negative reviews. Although the Lenovo Ideapad S510P has a built-in microphone, the lack of separate microphone and headphone inputs can be a problem.
Workspace
When you open the lid of the laptop before us appears workspace. Everything is made of durable black plastic. It is matte, with an imitation of metal. Around the screen is a noticeable frame. Above it there is an indicator, a webcam and a microphone.
The keyboard is slightly recessed into the body. It has an island type. The keys are a short distance from each other. This kind of “clave” is convenient because it saves the user from accidental clicks. Corporate identity keys with rounded shape. They have become a hallmark of Lenovo models.
The buttons have an average stroke, very quiet. As practice shows, the keyboard copes well with everyday active typing. The digital block is highlighted. Inconvenience may occur using the switch unit. The buttons are very small and not separately highlighted.
Russian and Latin keyboards are painted in white. This may seem uncomfortable to some. The Fn button is highlighted in orange. The keys F1-F12 were painted the same color. Paired with the Fn key, they can enable or disable some functions of the laptop. Each of them is indicated by a small graphic icon.
For example, the combination Fn + F1 mutes the sound. You can immediately turn down and turn up the volume, adjust the brightness of the screen or turn it off, etc.
The touchpad is offset to the left edge: small in size, has a silver frame around the perimeter. You can find reviews of the optional PKM and LMB buttons by reviewing the Lenovo Ideapad S510P. Many users liked their availability.
Screen
Before us is a budget display with a diagonal of 15.6 inches. The standard resolution for a laptop is 1366x768 pixels. Despite the fact that it is not high, it looks good with such a diagonal. The TN matrix is one of the cheapest. But even so, the picture on the screen is not bad. The only thing is that it is undesirable to work with a design or photo, because the color rendition is distorted.
"Filling"
Characteristics Lenovo Ideapad S510P reviews received the most flattering. This is due to the fact that, despite the low cost, inside is a fairly powerful Intel Core i3-4010U processor, which operates at a frequency of 1.7 GHz. The architecture of the Haswell chip is made according to the 22 nm manufacturing process. There are many technologies that improve productivity.
The device works with 4 GB of RAM. The internal memory is already 1 TB, and to all this there is an additional 8 GB SSD.
For the graphic component, the integrated HD Graphics 4400 is paired with the discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 720M, which has 2 GB of memory. In general, for 2013 these are excellent performance indicators. In addition, they are selected so that the system seems to be completely balanced.
Rest
Due to its features, the model received good reviews. Description Lenovo Ideapad S510P should be completed with additional information. For example, from the box, the device has a pre-installed Windows 8 operating system. All that is needed can be installed from a company store. There are already loaded software for working with graphics, documents, music, etc.
The laptop supports wireless communications. There is a built-in Wi-Fi module and the ability to directly connect to the modem via the RJ-45 network card connector.
The battery for 2800 mAh is responsible for autonomy. The average operating time without recharging is 5 hours with an average load. This figure is not the highest, but in order to show a presentation or work with the text, that's enough.
Reviews
The most important thing in choosing a laptop is the reviews. Photos Lenovo Ideapad S510P can be viewed in any online store, but they will not give a clear picture of the appearance. It’s better, of course, to first go to the store and hold the device, twist in your hands, push the buttons. Acquaintance with your own eyes always leaves the right impression. This is the only way to understand whether the diagonal is sufficient, whether the monitor is good, whether the keyboard is comfortable.
But even a blind purchase may be successful. This model gathered good reviews because it turned out to be not only pretty, but also productive.
In addition to office work and study, she easily coped with all the games of 2013, albeit not at high settings. The laptop performs all daily tasks. Even by 2017, it can be useful and necessary. The device is discontinued, but some stores still sell it at a price of 20 thousand rubles.
