Lenovo IdeaPad U350 Review


The Lenovo IdeaPad U350 is a 13.3 "thin and light notebook based on Intel CULV. SU2700 Intel offers a simple heart to heart with SU7300 double up to 4 GB of DDR3 memory and a choice of four-cell or 8-cell battery life. In this review of the Lenovo IdeaPad U350, which look at how you play in a wide range of activities, including time away from the wall to see if this is the perfect traveling companion.



Planning and building

The Lenovo ThinkPad series has always been unique designs compared to other laptops and Lenovo U350 notebook is a unique future. For starters, the U350 has a cross printed fabric texture on the upper deck of the screen in most dell inspiron 1525 battery are covered with glossy paint. This provides the user with a touch of a completely different experience: you can hear the difference in texture when you touch the laptop. I think it looks like any other kind of fresh and unique, but I do not agree with this. Inside the U350, you will find a plastic wrist rest coated with a brushed metal finish to simulate the look of metal. This is a design element, I agree with because it gives the illusion of a better realization of this offer plastic.

Build quality is still very good, with a solid and durable components. The plastic outside feels strong, with very little flexibility, even under moderate pressure. The plastic textures not only beautiful, but hide the abuse from a daily mix of lines in the printed pattern. He does a good job hiding stains and fingerprints compared to laptops with bright plastic exterior. Inside, the palm rest and the keyboard feels solid under the weight of your hands and arms. The frame does not twist or bend when you hold the laptop on the edge of the palmrest. In short, the laptop feels like you have to stay in a piece of his life.


Those who love to play with computers or to add functionality to truly appreciate it as a replacement for Lenovo IdeaPad U350 built. A panel at the bottom of the thinkpad t60 battery allows you to access the hard drive, system memory, WiFi and WWAN card slot open. While Lenovo is not currently an option in a U350 WWAN number, the handset comes pre-wired with the crowned son of the antenna if you want to install the 3G card itself. There is a SIM card slot under the battery for consumers that require WWAN GSM-based options. Not Found "void the warranty if removed" stickers explicitly in the laptop, but Lenovo's non-adhesive covering the edges of RAM, Wi-Fi card screws, and screw on the radiator that can be used to indicate an alteration.


Screen and speakers

The 13.3 "screen is average, with the correct color and contrast, but with significantly lower viewing angles. Poor screen quality TN panels are normal and that most thin and light notebook, there are very few, but some screens than others. For standardization activities such as surfing the web or write documents that do not really notice the color change, but when viewing photos or watching a movie darker the color change is very visible and annoying . vertical viewing angles up to 10 degrees forward or back when the colors start to change dramatically. horizontal viewing angles are slightly better than the colors remain true, except for very steep angles. 200nit Backlight level calculated by Lenovo , and in our tests, it works great under the lights for the lighting of the office. The screen is not powerful enough to overcome the nature of light reflections on the screen to direct sunlight.


The speakers are fine for listening to streaming radio or TV from time to time. That said, the headphones are a much better solution to really enjoy music and movies from this laptop, thanks to low and low mid-range speakers. Another alternative is to use the HDMI to transmit digital audio to your stereo.


Keyboard and touchpad

The full-size keyboard is ideal for typing and 13 "form factor is the perfect compromise between size and comfort of users. Too little and your wrist does not really support the wrists. All the great and the powerbook g4 battery becomes too large size for transport. key action is smooth and quiet, with a faint click when a button is pressed fully. squirming key is small, each key node is properly connected to the scissor mechanism below. We did not notice any keyboard press less flexible too hard on the keys. In short, the keyboard of the U350 is easily among the best I've used a thin and light notebook.

The IdeaPad U350 offers a wide Synaptics touchpad, which is one of the best models we've seen in this form factor of the laptop. The surface texture is slightly rough and gives a good wet traction without hard swipe. Speed and accuracy are very good and hardly noticed any delay in our tests. Refresh rate of the touch screen is very good and avoids any "stuttering", as we saw recently in a few Synaptics touchpad. The acceleration in each axis is sufficiently sensitive and ensures that the movement of the cursor on the screen corresponds to the movement of the finger on the touchpad. The touchpad buttons have excellent action with smooth, supple, with a long shot. The only complaint I have is the buttons you need to do a full press release below, such as buttons go, if not completely activate the button.



Ports and Features

Selection of the doors is very good with three USB ports, VGA, HDMI, Gigabit LAN, audio in / out and an SDHC card slot. SDHC has a spring, but do not get the card into the slot. When you insert a complete set of SDHC slot that attaches only partially. Do not expect to see a built-in optical drive on this laptop, so if you plan to reinstall the operating system or DVD RIP, take a drive and USB external optical drive. The media keys are limited to a mute button and dell xps m1530 battery to directly access the recovery software from Lenovo.


Performance and benchmarks

System performance with the Intel CULV SU2700 is less than stellar. Most programs take much longer to load or access to information on the options before CULV. Even with 4 GB of memory, the system seems to slow as most of the netbook Intel Atom-based. However, the basic tasks like surfing the Internet, listen to iTunes, write papers or watch SD video is sometimes a problem for the IdeaPad U350. When we moved to HD video, while multi-tasking, the system has been greatly. If this system includes SU4100 and SU7300 more dual-core processors would be no problem. Most of the configurations with more processors do not cost much more than this model, so there's no reason not to choose a faster way.


Heat and Noise

The system temperature was maintained within normal limits with low-end processor from a single nucleus. The cavity was significant warm disc in the left palm rest and the bottom of the laptop, but the temperature was not uncomfortable. Noise levels were average for a machine of this size, but the fan can get on your nerves if you're used to a laptop computer in complete silence. The U350 has a tendency to keep the fan running all the time, or if it is to maintain low temperatures to keep the processor within a certain temperature range. Fan noise was only slightly stronger than the sound of a hard drive, but if you've heard good things, you'll notice.


Battery

Battery life with the 4-cell Fujitsu t5010 Battery and SU2700 is lower than expected. During our testing, with screen brightness at 70%, View the profile of the diet "balanced" and the wireless system was active for 3 hours and 35 minutes before going into standby mode. Energy consumption during the test ranged from 9-10 watts. Lenovo offers a 8-cell battery with more expensive models for users who are seeking greater autonomy, and 8-cell battery provides more than 7 hours of battery life.


Conclusion

The Lenovo IdeaPad U350 notebook is a thin and lightweight ... until you choose the model with the Intel SU2700 slow. The U350 features a unique design, built with a textured surface, high quality and excellent options for the update. That can make or break this system is that the configuration, which could spread rapidly from very slow in most tasks. The battery life is below average with the 4-cell battery, but an 8-cell battery is standard on models with higher prices. The IdeaPad U350 offers excellent value in general, as long as you choose the right setting.
