Series B590 can be attributed to the category of good budget laptops, the purchase of which does not have to get into debt or credit. But even despite the relatively low price (15-20 thousand rubles), the Lenovo B590 laptop has sufficient power to help with work and study, and can easily become a home entertainment center, because it has all the data for this.
A good 15.6-inch screen will not only allow you to comfortably work with documents, but also provide good picture quality while watching video and photo materials. In addition, the series is equipped with fingerprint scanners, and this will certainly interest the business audience, which always needs additional data protection.
So, the hero of today's review is the 15`6 ” Lenovo B590 laptop : reviews, specifications, pros and cons of the model with a detailed analysis of notable nuances.
Design
The appearance of the laptop draws cheapness, and the reason is the usual plastic without any aluminum inserts and other structural reinforcements. But even with plastic, the Lenovo B590 laptop doesn’t have any smoothness and roundedness - it is angular, sharp, and in combination with a dark style is also completely conservative, so girls who are used to paints and beautiful surroundings will probably not like such a “boring” model .
The lid is also not attractive, all that can be seen here is the Lenovo logo. I am glad that the manufacturer abandoned the gloss, replacing the brand-name panel with a more practical matte analogue. Judging by user reviews, the only thing that saves such a gloomy design somehow is the original “grain” surface and texture, which is very pleasant to the touch.
Housing
It is worth noting the enviable strength of the laptop case, even despite the abundance of plastic: the model is well resistant to pressure and deformation, although in some places there are still slight deflections (the right edge of the keyboard). And we note separately that the Lenovo B590 laptop (case characteristics) is not resistant to torsion, so it is absolutely not suitable for trips with critical changes in the ambient temperature.
As for the bottom of the device, it looks and, in principle, is monolithic. There are two panels, under which are the hard drive and RAM. The panels are mounted on two standard screws, which, if necessary, can be easily unscrewed if you decide to make a mini-upgrade of the gadget. There you can see several large ventilation grilles that protect the laptop from overheating. The abundance of ventilation has become a familiar thing for the brand and it pleases, because devices are less susceptible to freezing and friezes due to overheating - the Lenovo IdeaPad B590 laptop was no exception . User reviews about the simple upgrade and excellent ventilation cover some design mistakes, and the dimensions of the model allow you to carry the gadget with you to the office or take it on the road (378 x 252 x 34 mm - 2.5 kg).
Display
The laptop is equipped with a 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels. The model is budgetary, so there is no hope for an IPS matrix, which means small viewing angles, both vertically and horizontally. Notebook Lenovo B590 has a typical TN matrix with ordinary contrast and brightness: the colors seem to be quite good, but they lack juiciness, as on glossy counterparts.
But the matte screen of the laptop has its own significant advantages, such as the absence of glare and extraneous reflections, which so interfere with full-fledged work in the room. Otherwise, this is a regular and unremarkable display.
Sound
Notebook Lenovo B590 is equipped with stereo speakers, which are located above the working surface of the keyboard under special grilles. High frequencies prevail in the overall sound supply, so the bass is barely audible. Moreover, the sound is clearly not enough volume, and when set to maximum volume, the entire stream merges into a cacophony, therefore, for the multimedia entertainment center, the Lenovo B590 laptop (owner reviews about acoustics) is clearly not suitable.
Alternatively, local speakers can recommend high-quality headphones, the benefit is that the music card allows you to reveal all the subtleties of the compositions, otherwise, you will have to be content with a quiet and secluded place to listen to or view media materials.
Input Devices
The keyboard is also not original: the island type and concave surface. Many owners were pleased with the small key travel and the absence of extraneous sounds during pressing. The main part of the buttons has white familiar markings, and the function keys of the Fn combination are highlighted in orange.
Separately, it is worth noting the presence of a digital unit, which greatly facilitates the entry of numerical data. And as mentioned above, the right side of the keyboard is subject to deflection, but this is felt only with intensive printing, and even then not always.
Touchpad
The manipulator is offset slightly to the left of the working area. The touchpad has a pleasant to the touch small-dot structure with a pronounced vertical scrolling zone. Below you can see two function keys from ordinary rough plastic. Some owners in their reviews complain about the buttons being too short and noisy, but the problem is solved by connecting a mouse.
Offline work
The laptop is equipped with a six-segment lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 4400 mAh. With average settings for energy saving and a working Internet, the device will last no more than three hours - not the highest indicator of autonomy, but the brand does not position the model as a constant assistant on the road, so the demand is small.
