Lenovo IdeaPad U510: The Windows PC for the stylish user?

Editor's Note (January 9, 2013): The following review has not yet been edited for grammatical errors. A final draft of the review will be released soon.

For the original German review, see here.

Affordable Windows 8 ultrabook. Lenovo describes its IdeaPad U510 concise and simple. We are talking about a 15.6-inch ultrabook that leaves the handy 11.6- and 13.3-inch form factors far behind. The manufacturer makes one thing clear with the U510: the bulky office laptops are a thing of the past. Browsing the web, working a bit, and enjoying multimedia content - all possible with this beauty.

For the price of 700 Euros (~$922) no outstanding performance should be expected of the Intel Core i3 3217U. The 15.6-inch form factor could attract those users, for whom gaming and CPU benchmarks do not matter. The father wants a 15-inch notebook for typing and web browsing. The looks should be modern and resemble his Samsung smartphone. The low-cost HP Pavilion g6Aspire E1-531, and the Lenovo N586 are also in this category. The aluminium finish grabs his attention, he sees the DVD drive and the battery life of 6 hours, and thinks to himself: I'll take it. 

Is this the perfect office notebook for the stylish user? Our review of the Lenovo IdeaPad U510 holds all the answers and details. As equal rivals we have the following well built (made of aluminium or magnesium) and quite slim 14- and 15-inch notebooks, which have an optical drive as well.

Without a DVD drive, but otherwise on par: 

  • Asus VivoBook S400CA (i5, Touchscreen, 700 Euros, ~$922)
  • HP Envy 4-1000sg (i3, 600 Euros, ~$791)

The U510 is slim and quite portable. The required ultrabook height (21 mm for notebooks > 14-inch) is exceeded only by the rubber feet that raise the base by three millimeters. 24 mm is the combined height. On the bottom side we find large intake vents, which should not be obstructed, even with the low-voltage Core i3 on board. The U510 is not in the modern shape of a wedge, but has a uniform height throughout. 

This does not diminish the practicality. In order to enhance the book resemblance and the lateral grip, the edges are curved inwards. This also eases opening the lid. The top and bottom sides look identical (no maintenance cover, perfectly flat surface) and are both made of lacquered aluminium panels.

Because of that, the lid and the base should have gained stability and quality. We would like to leave it just to the latter, since the base is relatively flexible. The flat panel exhibits limited twisting when the notebook is lifted at a corner. The lid is no different and clearly gives in when depressed, especially when closed. We are not entirely impressed with the cold (metallic) feeling that the surface has.

The large hinge has a soft, wobbly stop at about 140 degrees. The lid can be opened using only one hand, which does not cause the solid frame to bend or twist. The lid has a circumferential rubber lip that provides a smooth closing.

Experienced enthusiast can remove the bottom cover. Lenovo's Maintenance Manual U510 shows the process in detail, but changing the hard drive or the RAM modules should best be left to the experts. Removing the keyboard causes the first scratches on the lacquered plastic palm rest. There are four screws under the keyboard. This leaves four more screws beneath the feet and a couple of fragile plastic latches at the front. Two of the latter broke completely. The images on the right show the inside of the U510 in detail.

U510是轻薄,携带十分方便。所需的的ultrabook的高度(21毫米的笔记本电脑14英寸),仅次于由三毫米的橡胶垫脚,提高基础。 24毫米的总高度。在底部,我们发现大的进风口,这不应该受到阻碍,即使在低电压酷睿i3板。 U510是不是在现代的楔形形状,但有一个统一的高度在整个。

 

这并没有减弱的实用性。为了增强本书的相似性和横向抓地,边缘向内弯曲。这也简化了打开盖子。的顶部和底部侧看起来相同的(没有维修罩,完全平坦的表面),都是由喷涂铝面板。

 

正因为如此,在盖和基座应该获得稳定性和质量。我们希望它只是后者,因为基数比较灵活。平板表现出有限的扭曲,当笔记本电脑在一个角落里被提起。盖是没有什么不同,清楚地提供了在郁闷的时候,尤其是当关闭。我们并不完全与冷(金属)的感觉,表面有深刻的印象。

 

大的铰链有一个柔软的,摇摇晃晃的站,在约140度。可以只用一只手,这不会引起弯曲或扭曲的固体帧打开该盖。该盖有一个环形的橡胶唇,能够提供流畅闭。

 

有经验的爱好者可以卸下底盖。联想的维修手册U510详细的过程,但改变硬盘驱动器或RAM模块,最好留给专家。卸下键盘会导致塑料漆掌托第一划痕。键盘下有四个螺钉。这使得下面的脚和一对夫妇的脆弱的塑料锁在前面的四个螺丝。后者的两个完全爆发。右侧上的图像显示的内部详细的U510。

Connectivity

A key characteristic of the U510 is its DVD drive. Unfortunately Lenovo has not used a Slot-In-Drive, but a conventional tray drive. The former would definitely have looked better stylistically and the stability of the chassis would have been better. Slim 14- and 15-inch ultrabooks are no longer scarce. For example: HP Envy m6-1101sg (760 Euros), Aspire V5-431 (from 400 Euros), Aspire TimelineU M3-581TG (i5, GT 640M, 870 Euros) or Medion's Akoya S4216 (Multi-Bay with battery/DVD).

The manufacturer has installed an Ethernet RJ45 port, but not a standard VGA port. The latter is replaced by a Mini-VGA, but an adapter is not included. Acer has done things differently with the Aspire V5-431: the supplied dongle (RJ45/VGA) provides both ports.

U510的一个重要特征是它的DVD驱动器。不幸的是,联想已经不使用的驱动器槽,但传统的盘驱动器。前者肯定会更好看的曲风和机箱的稳定性会更好。超薄14 - 和15英寸的ultrabooks不再是稀缺的。对于例如:HP羡慕M6-1101sg(760欧元),卓望V5-431(400欧元),卓望TimelineU M3-581TG(酷睿i5,GT640M,870欧元)或Medion公司的Akoya养S4216(多 - 湾电池/ DVD) 。

 

制造商已安装的以太网RJ45端口,而不是一个标准的VGA端口。由迷你VGA后者被替换,但不包括一个适配器。宏碁做的事情不同的Aspire V5-431所提供的的的加密狗(RJ45/VGA)提供了端口。

Communication

U510 can connect to the internet via WLAN (Centrino Wireless-N 2230) or via Fast Ethernet. Lenovo has omitted Gigabit LAN. This makes moving your film collection quite annoying, especially if you have to transfer several hundreds of gigabytes from the PC to the laptop via WLAN. Perhaps the user has a Gigabit switch, which will now go unchallenged. We cannot understand Lenovo's choice - every common notebook has a Gigabit Ethernet chip. 

Is at least the reception of the wireless adapter any good? Yes, it is, but only over short distances. The reception is excellent at three and ten meters (second floor). Outside the house, it dropped down to two bars (15 m) and at 40 meters, the signal was completely lost.  Those are weak results. An Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (abgn) had two bars at the furthest distance. 50% of the transmission power of the router (Fritz!Box 7270) is lost along the way.

The webcam has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The photos seem bright enough, but have significant amount of noise and the colors look unnaturally cool. 

Accessories/Software

The U510 comes with a pre-installed Windows 8 (64 Bit). There is no Free DOS model, unlike the IdeaPad S300/S400. No recovery disks are supplied either. The user can burn such a disk via the OneKey Recovery. The Recovery Mode on the hidden HDD partition is called upon by pressing the OneKey button. This functions even if the computer is turned off. This key also activates a simple BIOS, in which the F-keys' function can be changed (deactivation of the hotkey mode).

There is als no mini-VGA-to-VGA adapter. We are not talking about the popular Mini-DisplayPort-to-VGA cable, but the rare Mini-VGA one (Manual: VITU5 MINI-VGA CABLE). For example, such cables are the HP-Mini-VGA-Cable (FY828AA) and the Asus Adapter Kit Mini-VGA-to-VGA (30 Euros). 

Warranty

Lenovo supplies the U510 with a 24-month Bring-in warranty. In the box we also find an information pamphlet, which explains what is covered. But what warranty updates are available for my Lenovo? You can find out by entering the serial number of the notebook on the manufacturer's service website.

通讯

 

U510可以连接到互联网,通过WLAN(迅驰无线-N 2230),或通过快速以太网。联想已经省略了千兆网卡。这使得你的电影收藏相当恼人的,特别是如果你必须通过WLAN传输数百GB的从PC到笔记本电脑。也许用户有一个千兆交换机,这将是听之任之。我们无法理解联想的选择 - 每一个普通的笔记本电脑配有千兆以太网芯片。

 

至少接收的无线适配器有什么好处?是的,是的,但只能在短距离内。接待处是优秀的,在3和10米(二楼)。出门在外,它掉了下来,两间酒吧(15米),40米,完全失去信号。这些都是虚弱结果。一个英特尔®迅驰®高级-N 6205(abgn),有两间酒吧,在最远的距离。路由器(Fritz!盒7270)的发送功率的50%的丢失前进的道路。

Input Devices

Keyboard

The flat chiclet-type keys lie in a small recess in the base unit. The user might need to get used to the small Enter and Backspace, as well as the indented arrow keys. Once accustomed, the user could work comfortably, thanks to the good key spacing and the numeric keypad. "Could" – the soft base inhibits a firm key stop and the vague pressure point takes away the last bit of feedback. The medium drop does not compensate for the above. 

Touchpad

The large ClickPad (12.5 cm in diagonal) could have been very good, if it had a reasonable key drop. We are tortured by a short key travel, while the required force to press the key is relatively high. The touchpad registers a click only at the very bottom, while in the middle (left mouse button) it does not. Overall, mouse movement with the Multi-Touch-Pad feels good. The smooth surface has little friction and rarely slows down finger movement.

键盘

 

扁平希克莱型键在于在基本单元在一个小的凹部。用户可能需要习惯的小Enter键和Backspace键,以及缩进箭头键。一旦习惯了,用户可以轻松的工作,良好的键距和数字键盘。 “可能” - 软基处理抑制了坚实的键停止和含糊不清的压力点带走了最后的反馈信息。中等降不补偿以上。

 

触摸板

 

大的ClickPad(12.5厘米对角线)已经很不错了,如果它有一个合理的键下降。我们被折磨的短按键行程,同时按下该键所需要的力是比较高的。触摸板注册了一个点击只有在最底层,而在中间(鼠标左键)它不。总体而言,鼠标移动的多点触控垫的感觉很好。光滑的表面有小的摩擦,很少会减慢手指运动。

Display

The non-matte surface of the 15.6-inch panel (16:9; 1366x768) is a common characteristic of all the IdeaPad notebooks. There is not a single model without a glossy display! This could scare away some buyers. In the class under 800 Euros, panels such as our AUO B156XTN03 are relatively common. Low-cost devices like the HP 650 or the Lenovo Edge E330 prove that the matte panel is not a matter of price range. 

We have to admit: the glare display is not the worst choice. The combination of a high contrast ratio of 611:1, bright colors, and deep black works quite well. 

A better color reproduction is important to professional image editors, who would also be disappointed by the HD resolution of the 15-inch display. Therefore, we list the following only for the purpose of completeness: sRGB and Adobe RGB were clearly not covered. Low black level (0,319 cd/m²) and large color space reproduction do not always go hand in hand. Even premium notebooks like the Asus Zenbook UX51VZ do not necessarily cover the sRGB color space. None of the mentioned rivals manages to completely cover sRGB.

15.6英寸的面板(16:91366×768)的非磨砂表面是一个共同的特点,所有的IdeaPad笔记本电脑。没有一个单一的模式,没有镜面显示屏!这可能会吓跑一些买家。在类在800欧元,作为我们友达B156XTN03的板等都是比较常见的。低成本的设备,如HP 650或联想的边缘E330证明,磨砂面板的价格范围是不是一个问题。

 

我们不得不承认:防眩光显示屏还不是最糟糕的选择。高对比度611:1,颜色鲜艳,深黑的组合,效果相当不错。

 

一个更好的色彩还原重要的是专业的图像编辑器,高清分辨率的15英寸显示器也感到失望。因此,我们列出了以下内容的目的只是为了完整性,显然没有涵盖sRGB和Adobe RGB。低黑电平(0319坎德拉/平方米)和大型彩色空间复制并不总是齐头并进。像华硕ZENBOOK UX51VZ的即使是溢价笔记本电脑,并不一定涵盖sRGB色彩空间。没有提到的对手管理,完全覆盖SRGB。

The reflective surface and the low brightness, averaging 189 cd/m², make the U510 unsuitable for outdoor usage. Effective work is hindered by the reflections and the too dark desktop. The photos below were taken on a cloudy day. Even under these ideal conditions, the desktop was still mostly too dark. In order to be sufficiently readable in daylight, the luminance of a glare type panel should minimum 300 cd/m².

The viewing angles are typical for an affordable notebook - very small. Massive inversions occur even at the slightest change (10 degrees) upwards or downwardsThe cause is of course the TN (Twisted Nematics) panel with white LED backlight. The U510 has a horizontal viewing angle of 45 degrees (see the picture below).

Performance

The U510 has a rich variety of configurations. Starting from the entry-level model with Core i3 3217U and HD 4000 (our unit) up to the top model with Core i7 3517U and Geforce GT 625M. The Geforce graphics chip is standard for every model with i5 and i7 and should be preferred by gamers. We'll take a closer look at that in the Gaming section. The HDD options are only 500 and 750 GB. Although there is no SSD available, all the HDDs have a 24 GB SSD cache.

Cinebench R11.5 Multi CPU @1,8 GHz
Cinebench Shading GPU @1050 MHz
Cinebench Shading GPU @1050 MHz

Starting with the name, the Core i3 already suggest a lower performance than an i5 or i7. But how large are differences? Should buyers stay away from the i3? Using the Cinebench tests we will examine the difference in performance.

The CPU multi-core test (1.71 points) results are 36 to 41% worse than the i5 3317U (Asus S56CM, VivoBook S400CA). The Core i5 benefits from Turbo Boost. If you think that is not a significant difference, the OpenGL test shows impressive results for all the rivals. The dedicated graphics chips Radeon HD 7670M (Envy m6-1101sg), GeForce GT 640M (Aspire M5, Aspire M3) and GeForce GT 635M (Asus S56CM) provide an increase in performance of up to 186%. But gamers have a choice: the GT 620M, which comes with the i5 and i7 models of the U510, was 123 and 117% faster in Aspire V5-571G and in Asus UX32VD (i5 3317U) respectively. Thus, the GT 620M is not the best choice in terms of performance.

The Cinebench R11.5 Single test (1.11 points) utilizes only one core. Here 1.8 GHz are not enough - thanks to Turbo Boost, i5 3317U (+37 %) and i7 2637M (+45 %) are faster. The latter processor is not available with our notebook, but Lenovo offers the i7 3517U instead. In the Dell XPS 13 it was 64% faster than the Core i3. On battery power we measured identical results as when plugged in (CPU and GPU @Cinebench R11.5).

开始的名称,酷睿i3已经表明较低的性能比i5或i7。但有多大差异?如果买家远离了i3?使用了CINEBENCH的测试中,我们将研究在性能上的差异。

 

CPU多核心测试(1.71分),结果是不如酷睿i53317U(华硕S56CM,VivoBook S400CA)的36至41%。从涡轮增压的酷睿i5利益。如果你认为是不是一个显着的区别,在OpenGL测试显示了令人印象深刻的结果,所有的对手。专用图形芯片的Radeon HD7670M(羡慕M6-1101sg),的GeForce GT640M(M5的Aspire方面,Aspire M3)和GeForce GT635M(华硕S56CM)提供高达186%的性能增长。但是,玩家有一个选择:GT620M,i5和i7机型的U510,为123,在Aspire V5-571G,在分别:华硕UX32VD(酷睿i53317U)117%的速度。因此,GT620M在性能方面是不是最好的选择。

 

CINEBENCH R11.5单一测试(1.11分),只利用一个核心。 1.8 GHz的是不够的 - 由于睿频加速,i5的3317U(+37%)和酷睿i72637M(+45%)的速度更快。后者的处理器是不是与我们的笔记本电脑,而联想提供的i73517U,而不是。在戴尔XPS 13,它的速度比酷睿i3的64%。使用电池电源时,我们测量了相同的结果时插入(CPU和GPU CINEBENCH R11.5)。

The result of the PCMark 7 is 5307 points. Ultrabooks with i5 3317U can be up to 33% faster, depending on the speed of the SSD/HDD. Then come the true SSDs, such as the one in the Aspire M3-581TG. It seems that the Core i5 ultrabooks hardly benefit from their faster graphics cards. Even HP Envy m6-1101sg, which performed very well in the OpenGL test, is now 9% slower. The cause lies in the slow hard drives. On the other side is the Aspire M3-581TG. It scores very high thanks to the quick access times of its Lite-On LMT-256M3M SSD.

HDTune showed an average of 97 MB/s - good result for a 5400 RPM hard drive. Crystal Disk Mark measured 98 MB/s. The HDD scores of PCMark Vantage and PCMark 7 hardly benefited from the throughput. The results are far form the 4500 points (PCMark Vantage HDD score) that a quick 5400 RPM HDD can achieve. The storage score in the PCMark 7 is 2181 points - average for a 5400 RPM HDD.

The Momentus Thin reads small data very slowly (4K Read 0.35 MB/s Crystal Disk Mark). Many of the common 2.5-inch HDDs are up to 100% faster (5400 RPM). You can find more comparative data in the HDD/SSD Benchmark list in the FAQ section. The SanDisk U100 SSD (24 GB) functions only as cache for the HDD. It is unusable by the user and its memory stores frequently used data. This speeds up applications and system start up.

Graphics Card

In turbo mode, the HD 4000 is overclocked (1000 MHz) and in idle its is downclocked (350 MHz). The 3DMark 06 score is 3504 points - in the lower range for this graphics chip. The reason is not only the CPU dependence of the benchmark (i3 is relatively weak), but mainly the shared Single Channel DDR3 memory. As expected, the rivals with dedicated graphic crads achieve higher results: Asus S56CM (+113%), Aspire M3-581TG (+162%), Aspire M5-581TG (+180%), HP Envy m6-1101sg (+126%).

Gaming Performance

The results of the 3DMark 06 indicate how games should run. Performance is on a  low level - users should not get too excited about it. Some relief may come from the possibility to upgrade the RAM (~25% increase). The two slots allow Dual Channel RAM to be at the disposal of the GPU. 

Still, the graphics card barely suffices for gaming purposes. Games run smoothly with minimum details and low resolutions at the most. Gamers would be better off with a GeForce GT 620MGT 640M, GT 635M or HD 7670M. Unfortunately Lenovo offers only the weakest of those.

3DMark 06测试的结果表明游戏应该如何运行。性能是一个低的水平上 - 用户不应该太兴奋了。可能来自一些救援的可能性升级RAM(增长25%)的。的两个插槽,双通道内存的GPU在处理。

 

不过,显卡勉强够游戏的目的。以最小的细节和分辨率较低,在最游戏的流畅运行。玩家将更好的GeForce GT620M,GT640M,GT635M,HD7670M。不幸的是,联想提供的只

This is rare: the fan is barely audible under full load. The base remains cool.
This is rare: the fan is barely audible under full load. The base remains cool.

Noise Level

The U510 surprises: no matter how much we torture the notebook, it never gets louder than 33 dB(A). Strangely, the optical drive completely kills the silence of the fan with a loud roar - we measured 43 dB(A) when playing a DVD. On the other hand, the hard drive is as quiet as the fan, never exceeding 30.6 dB(A). The fan never completely turns off.

For the full load test we ran Prime 95 (CPU) and Furmark (HD 4000) simultaneously for two hours. This increased the noise level only to 33 dB(A). None of the rivals is this quiet under full stress (40-48 dB(A)). Quietest is the Aspire TimelineUltra M5-581TG (GT 640M) at 42 dB(A).

U510惊喜:不管我们是多么的折磨笔记本电脑,它永远不会大声超过33分贝(A)。奇怪的是,光盘驱动器完全杀死了一个响亮的轰鸣声,风扇的沉默 - 我们测量了43分贝(A)在播放DVD。另一方面,硬盘驱动器,风扇的安静,从来没有超过30.6分贝(A)。风扇从来没有完全关闭。

 

对于满负荷测试,我们同时跑总理95(CPU)和Furmark的(HD4000)两小时。这增加了噪音仅33分贝(A)。没有任何的对手是这个安静的满应力下(40-48分贝(A))。最安静的是:的Aspire TimelineUltra M5-581TG(GT640M)在42分贝(A)。

Stress test: CPU constantly @1.8 GHz
Stress test: CPU constantly @1.8 GHz

The U510 remains reasonably cool. In idle and with sporadic load (office use) the base and the palm rest are lukewarm to warm. At no point is the 35o C mark exceeded. 

Under constant load the temperatures rise to 38o C. In this case (stress test for several hours), the CPU steadily runs at the default clock of 1.8 GHz. During the pure CPU stress test with Prime95 the clock frequency was the same. The 3DMark 06 test we ran immediately afterwards showed the same result as before.

U510保持合理的凉爽。在空闲和偶发性负载(办公用途)的基础和掌托是不冷不热地暖。在任何时候超过35°C标志。

Speakers

Where are the speakers? The music seems to be coming out of the area of the hinge, thus we believe they are located above the keyboard. Opening the case proves us right. The small speakers are suspended in a movable rubber buffer. Thus the membrane can vibrate better. The result is a sound that is acoustically similar to a high-end multimedia notebook or a MacBook Pro. There are no distortions at high volume and the highs and mids are clear and distinct.

The bass is largely lacking. Even though multimedia laptops have a separate subwoofer, we are happy with the sound of the notebook for this price range and its slim case. Music enthusiasts can connect headphones or external speakers via the analog headphone/microphone combo jack.

The position of the speakers has a clear advantage over devices with speakers under the palm rest (requires a desk) or above the keyboard. The lack of a desk, covering the speakers, or closing the notebook has no effect on the sound.

扬声器在哪里?音乐似乎是走出来的铰链区,因此,我们相信他们是位于键盘上方。打开的情况下证明我们是正确的。悬浮在一个可移动的橡胶缓冲块的小喇叭。因此,膜可振动更好。结果是到高端多媒体笔记本电脑或MacBook Pro的声学相似的声音。在高音量有没有扭曲的高点和的中音和是清晰和明确的。

 

主要是缺乏低音。虽然多媒体笔记本电脑有一个独立的低音炮的声音,这个价格范围内的笔记本电脑,其超薄的情况下,我们很高兴。音乐爱好者可以通过模拟耳机/麦克风组合插孔连接耳机或外部扬声器。

 

下的掌托(台),或者在键盘上方的扬声器,扬声器位置有一个明显的优势设备。书桌的缺乏,覆盖扬声器,或关闭笔记本具有对声音没有影响。

Energy Management

Power Consumption

The battery life in idle of almost 8 hours (lowest brightness, energy saving profile) is surprising. Not because it is a good run time for an ultrabook, but because it is equipped with a meager 45 Wh battery. The low energy consumption of less than 7 W (minimum) and 12 W (idle, maximum) provide the U510 with a good battery life. 

The rivals with the same form factor have similar energy consumption in idle, but higher consumption under load (idle/stress test), because of the dedicated graphics cards: Asus S56CM (GT 635M, 7/60 W), Acer Aspire TimelineU M3-581TG (i7, GT 640M, 4/70 W), Acer Aspire TimelineUltra M5-581TG (i5, GT 640M, 9/69 W), HP Envy m6-1101sg (i5, HD 7670M, 9/48 W). Due to the lack of a discrete GPU, the U510 draws a maximum of 27 W during the stress test. Our Lenovo is not an extreme energy saver, despite the weak processor. Optimus and Intel's energy saving functions (CPU) provide even the powerful rivals with high energy efficiency. 

Our stress test (Prime95, Furmark) shows the highest possible power consumption. The small 65 W power supply seems somewhat excessive. However, we have to take into account charging the battery as well as the other configurations with Core i5/i7 and GT 620M.

耗电量

 

在闲置了近8个小时的电池寿命(最低亮度,节能省电模式)是惊人的。不是因为它是一个很好的运行时间为Ultrabook的,但因为它配备了一个微薄的45瓦时电池。能耗低,小于7 W(最小)和12 W(空闲,最大)提供的U510具有良好的电池寿命。

 

相同的形式因素的对手也有类似的能源消耗在空闲状态,但根据负载(空闲/压力测试)的高消费,,因为专用显卡:GT635M,7/60 W),:华硕S56CM(宏碁Aspire TimelineU M3-581TG(i7处理器,GT640M,4/70 W),宏碁Aspire TimelineUltra M5-581TG(i5处理器,GT640M,9/69 W),惠普Envy M6-1101sg(i5处理器,HD7670M,9/48 W)。由于缺乏一个独立的GPU,在压力测试中,U510吸引了最多的27 W。我们的联想是不是一个极端的节能,尽管薄弱处理器。 Optimus和英特尔的节能功能(CPU)具有高能源效率提供更强大的对手。

 

我们的压力测试(Prime95的,FURMARK)给出了最高的功耗。小的65 W电源似乎有点过分。然而,我们必须考虑到充电电池以及其他的Core i5/i7和GT620M的配置。

Battery Life

The WLAN test (a script reloads web pages, 150 cd/m² brightness dimmed at 3 levels) finished after 4:47 hours. This test is more realistic than the idle one, because at an acceptable for indoor use brightness, text was scrolled up and down and video clips were played. 

The rivals do not perform much better (Idle/WLAN): Asus S56CM (44 Wh, 3:28/2:35), Acer Aspire TimelineU M3-581TG (54 Wh, 11:39/6:04), Acer Aspire TimelineUltra M5-581TG (54 Wh, 11:12/5:05), HP Envy m6-1101sg (62 Wh, 6:40/4:55). Those seeking a long battery life should not immediately buy the S56CM, but rather the Aspire model, which also delivers the best graphics performance. The customer cannot get around the glossy display among these rivals.

 

WLAN测试(脚本重新加载网页,150 cd /m²的亮度变暗在3级)4时47小时后完成。此测试是比较现实的比的空闲,因为在一个可接受的室内使用亮度,文本被向上滚动和向下和视频剪辑被演奏。

Verdict

Lenovo's IdeaPad U510 (Model MBM62GE with Core i3 3217U) tries to be two things at once. On one hand it is an affordable entry-level ultrabook. On the other it tries not skimp on workmanship in order not to look like a plastic brick. Several points of the plan have been a success. The interfaces, including the mini-VGA port and optical drive, correspond to the standard 15-inch notebook. 

Workmanship is an important point for Lenovo, because the notebook looks very much like the MacBook Pro. Had the manufacturer omitted the numeric keypad, going to court would have been inevitable. Not much should be expected of the strength of an aluminium unibody for 700 Euros. The material feels of high quality, but the bendable base and the weak display lid prove that it only looks that way. 

Still, Lenovo has put some effort in it and the workmanship is adequate for this price range. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the keyboard. It gives in when typing. The keys have vague pressure point and short stroke. The touchpad is not much better either. The high level of pressure needed to register a click is tiresome and the short key drop is annoying. 

Speaking of weak points: the glare-type display and its low luminance hinder outdoor use. On the other hand, the contrast ratio of 611:1 is good and the colors are crisp and clear. 

There is no room for criticism in terms of performance, excessive heat, and noise level. For 700 Euros the user receives sufficient power, as can be expected from a low-voltage Core i3. Gaming performance is nonexistent on our unit. The i5 and i7 model are equipped with a Geforce GT 620M. Lenovo will shortly start delivering the U510 with the successor GT 720M.

The fiercest rival is definitely Asus S56CM (680 Euros), which is cheaper and comes with an i5 and GT 635M. It has more gaming power, but shorter battery life. Acer's Aspire TimelineUltra M5-581TG is not cheaper with an equivalent CPU. But the longer battery life, better keyboard (backlit), and good workmanship bring value for money.

联想的IdeaPad U510(型号采用酷睿i3 3217U)MBM62GE尝试一次是两件事情。一方面,它是一种经济实惠的入门级Ultrabook的。另一方面,它试图不吝啬的做工,为了不看起来像一个塑胶地砖。几个点的计划已经取得了成功。的mini-VGA端口和光驱的接口,包括标准的15英寸笔记本。

 

工艺是联想很重要的一点,因为看起来非常像的MacBook Pro笔记本电脑。如果制造商省略了数字键盘,要法院将是不可避免的。没有太多的预期强度的铝合金一体成型机身为700欧元。该材料的高品质的感觉,但可弯曲的基地和弱显示屏盖证明它看起来是这样的。

 

不过,联想已经把一些努力,这个价格范围内的做工是足够的。不幸的是,同样不能说的键盘。它提供了在打字的时候。该键有模糊的压力点和短行程。触摸板是不是好不了多少。高水平的压力,需要注册的点击是讨厌和烦人的短键降。

 

说到弱点:强光型显示器和低亮度阻碍户外使用。另一方面,611:1的对比度和颜色是清晰和明确的。

 

房间里没有在性能方面的批评,过多的热量和噪音水平。用户接收到足够的功率为700欧元,可预期的低电压酷睿i3。我们单位是不存在的游戏性能。配备了Geforce GT 620M,i5和i7的模型。联想不久将开始提供U510的继承GT 720M。

 

最激烈的对手绝对是华硕S56CM的(680欧元),这是更便宜,并配备了i5和GT 635M。它有更多的游戏功能,但更短的电池寿命。宏碁的Aspire TimelineUltra M5-581TG具有同等CPU是不是最便宜的。但是,更长的电池寿命,更好的键盘(背光),和良好的做工带来的价值的钱。

What we like

The workmanship is mostly successful, but far from perfect. 

What we'd like to see

An ultrabook aimed at the office user, but with better input devices. 

What surprises

The bold claim that this is an ultrabook. The height and weight requirements were clearly missed (Intel requires 22 mm and 1.4 kg). Otherwise a great contrast that is a surprise in this price range. 

The competition

Notebooks with an aluminium elegance and low weight: Asus S56CM (i7, GT 635M), Aspire TimelineU M3-581TG (i5, GT 640M), Aspire TimelineUltra M5-581TG (i5, GT 640M), HP Envy m6-1101sg (i5, HD 7670M). And one without a DVD drive: Asus VivoBook S400CA (i5, Touchscreen).

The lowest priced 14- and 15-inch (with DVD drive) notebooks are Acer Aspire V5-431 (from 400 Euros), V5-571PG (680 Euros) und Medion Akoya S4216 (600 Euros).

我们喜欢

 

做工大多是成功的,但远远不够完善。

 

我们希望看到什么

 

ultrabook的目的是在办公室用户,但更好的输入设备。

 

但令人惊讶的

 

大胆的说法,这是一个ultrabook的。身高和体重的要求进行了明确错过(英特尔需要22毫米,1.4公斤)。否则,巨大的反差在这个价格范围内,这是一个惊喜。
