联想 IdeaPad Z580 笔记本测评
As a mid-ranged multimedia notebook priced in the 600 to 800 Euro (~$750 to $1000) range, the Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 competes in a contested product field which is served by almost all notebook manufacturers. The Chinese manufacturer offers many configurations capable of covering many divergent needs for the multimedia sector. Between the basic model with a dual-core CPU and a DVD drive and the top-of-the-line configuration with a potent quad-core processor and Blu-ray drive, our sample M81EAGE configuration represents the middle-class model of the series. A constant in all configurations is a 15.6-inch glossy, glare-type 1366x768 display.
Our test model came equipped with an Intel Core i5-3210M dual-core processor from the current Ivy Bridge family, an Nvidia GeForce GT 630M with 2 GB of GDDR3 memory, 8 GB RAM, and a 1 TB hard drive. Other features include a 720p webcam, a 6-cell battery for mobility, and a keyboard with a dedicated numeric keypad. The notebook can be optionally configured with an Intel Core i7-3612QM and an Nvidia GeForce GT 640M. In this review, we will consider how our 699 Euro (~$875) test model compares to competitors, some of which feature faster components.
联想IdeaPad Z580作为一款中端远程多媒体笔记本电脑，售价在600至800欧元（750美元到1000美元）的范围，在有竞逐的产品领域，几乎所有的笔记本电脑制造商提供竞争。中国的制造商提供了许多配置，能够涵盖许多不同的多媒体部门的需求。之间的基本模式与双核CPU和一个DVD驱动器和一个强大的四核处理器和蓝光光驱的配置，顶级的线，我们的样本M81EAGE配置代表中产阶级模型，该系列。在所有配置中的常量是一个15.6英寸镜面，强光型1366×768的显示。
我们的测试模型来配备了英特尔酷睿i5-3210M双核处理器，从目前的Ivy Bridge的家庭，NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M的GDDR3内存2 GB，8 GB RAM和1 TB硬盘驱动器。其他功能还包括了720p的摄像头，采用了6芯电池的流动性，以及一个专用的键盘与数字键盘。笔记本电脑可以选择配置一个英特尔酷睿i7-3612QM的NVIDIA GeForce GT640M。在本文中，我们将考虑如何我们的699欧元（约$875），测试模型比较的竞争对手，其中一些具有更快的组件。
Case
Visually, the Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 differs only slightly from the Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 of which we previously tested the US version. The charcoal and gray color scheme is pleasing at first glance. While the plastic surfaces imitate the look of brushed aluminum, the haptics and feel of the material differs. Furthermore, there is a more conspicuous red version of the Z580 which may be preferable depending on taste. All in all, most of the surfaces are glossy and fingerprints accumulate easily and are rather visible. The display cover is no exception.
The workmanship left a good impression but transitions were sharp and definitely noticeable to the touch. As well, stability was not perfect. Under higher pressures, the wrist rest and keyboard depress. The screen visibly yielded under pressure and distortions were obvious. The display hinges, on the other hand, were tight and could be opened up to 135 degrees. It is worth mentioning that the tightness of the hinges caused the entire base unit to lift at times and might make working in a car or on a train difficult.
The notebook’s total weight of 2.44 kg (5.37 pounds) is not atypical for this class but some other multimedia notebooks are slimmer and lighter. One example of this is the new Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display which carries a very significant price increase. This is quite literally a comparison of Apples and oranges.
在视觉上，联想IdeaPad Z580略有不同的，我们之前测试过的美国版，联想IdeaPad Y580。木炭和灰色的配色方案乍看之下很高兴。虽然塑料表面模仿拉丝铝的外观，触觉和感觉的材料不同。此外，有一个更加显着的红色版本的Z580，这可能是优选的根据口味。所有的一切，大部分的表面有光泽和指纹积累容易和比较可见。显示屏盖也不例外。
做工留下了不错的印象，但转换是尖锐的，绝对明显的触摸。同时，稳定是不完美的。在较高的压力下，腕托和键盘的抑制。屏幕明显的压力下产生的扭曲是显而易见的。显示铰链，在另一方面，是紧，可以打开至135度。值得一提的是铰链的松紧度导致整个基地单位解除的时间和工作在汽车或火车上的困难。
笔记本电脑的总重量为2.44公斤（5.37磅），这个类是不典型的，但一些其他的多媒体笔记本电脑更轻更薄。这方面的一个例子是新的苹果MacBook Pro采用Retina显示它带有一个非常显着的价格上涨。毫不夸张地说这是一个比较苹果和桔子。
Connectivity
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580’s connectivity is up-to-date for a device of its class. A total of four USB ports are provided, two of which use the latest USB 3.0 standard. Other features include an HDMI port, a card reader on the front edge, and two audio ports. Our test model also features a DVD drive. By comparison, the higher-price configurations of the IdeaPad Z580 use a Blu-ray drive for High-Definition movies.
With the exception of the card reader, the positioning of the ports is limited to the left and right sides of the case. We found that the distribution and spacing of the ports could have been handled better, especially on the right side of the notebook where audio cables or an externally connected USB 2.0 device could hinder the use of an external mouse.
联想IdeaPad Z580的连接是最新的装置，它的类。总共有4个USB端口，其中两个使用最新的USB 3.0标准。其他功能还包括一个HDMI端口，一个读卡器的前部边缘，和两个音频端口。我们的测试模型还设有一个DVD驱动器。相比较而言，高价格的IdeaPad Z580的配置使用的Blu-ray驱动器的高清晰度电影。
随着读卡器的异常，端口的定位被限制的情况下的左，右两侧。我们发现有端口的分布和间距可以被更好地处理，尤其是在笔记本电脑的右侧音频电缆或外部连接的USB2.0的移动设备可能会妨碍使用外部鼠标。
Communication
We found the IdeaPad Z580 more or less sufficient in terms of communications. Wireless features are provided by the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 module. This module supports both IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi standards and Bluetooth version 4.0 for short-range wireless communications. Unfortunately, the wired network connection only supports the 10/100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet standard and this limitation is a potential weakness. For video calls, our sample notebook managed acceptable image quality from its 720p webcam and corresponding 1-megapixel resolution. In low-light situations, we found the use of an external high-quality webcam, such as the Microsoft HD 6000 and Logitech C910, to be preferable.
Accessories
The IdeaPad Z580 includes a minimal amount of accessories. Beside the device itself, Lenovo provides a 6-cell battery, a power adapter and cable, and some printed documentation. Additionally, the notebook does not include recovery media or a recovery partition. Creating a recoverable backup requires the user to use the pre-installed OneKey Recovery 7.0 software suite. The notebook also comes pre-installed with Adobe Reader X, Dolby Home Theater software, Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Edition, and a time-limited McAfee Internet Security suite. The latter proved to be particularly annoying due to numerous and repeated pop-up windows which suggested upgrading to the full version.
Maintenance
The underside of the IdeaPad Z580 houses a large maintenance cover that can be easily accessed after removing just one screw. Hidden by the cover are two banks of DDR3 memory modules, the 2.5-inch hard drive with a 9.5-mm (0.37-inch) build height, and the case fan. However, the fan is partially covered by non-removable components and cannot be cleaned completely. Doing so would require removal of the entire bottom panel.
Warranty
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 includes a 12-month warranty. While this duration is appropriate for a notebook in this price range, there remains room for improvement. Some manufacturers of devices in this segment offer a 24-month warranty at no extra charge. Lenovo also offers upgrade packages that extend the warranty to up to 36 months with on-site service but pricing for these could not be found on its website.
通讯
我们发现了IdeaPad Z580通信更多或更少足够的。英特尔迅驰无线-N 2200模块所提供的无线功能。该模块支持IEEE 802.11b/g/n的Wi-Fi标准的短距离无线通信的蓝牙版本4.0。不幸的是，有线网络连接只支持10/100 Mbit / s快速以太网标准，这个限制是一个潜在的弱点。我们的样本笔记本电脑视频通话，720P网络摄像头100万像素的分辨率和相应的管理可接受的图像质量。在光线不足的情况下，我们发现，如微软的HD 6000和罗技C910使用外接高品质网络摄像头，更为可取。
饰品
的IdeaPad Z580包括最小量的配件。除了设备本身之外，联想还提供了6芯电池，电源适配器和电缆，以及一些印刷文档。此外，笔记本电脑不包括恢复介质或恢复分区。创建一个备份恢复需要用户使用预装的一键恢复7.0软件套件。该笔记本还预装与使用Adobe Reader X，杜比家庭影院软件，微软Office 2010入门版，有时间限制的McAfee互联网安全套装。后者被证明是特别烦人，由于许多经常弹出窗口，建议升级到完整版本的。
保养
底部的的IdeaPad Z580房屋，大保养取出后，只有一个螺丝盖，可以很容易地访问。盖隐藏的是两家银行的DDR3内存模块，一个9.5毫米（0.37英寸）建立高度的2.5英寸硬盘驱动器，以及机箱风扇。然而，风扇部分地覆盖由非可移动的组件，并不能完全被清洁。这样做将需要删除的整个底部面板。
保
联想IdeaPad Z580包括12个月的保修期。这一期限是合适的笔记本在这个价位上，仍然有改进的余地。在这一领域的设备制造商提供了一个24个月的保修期，不额外收费。联想还提供了延长保修期长达36个月上门服务，但价格不能在其网站上的升级包。
Input Devices
The IdeaPad Z580 uses input devices that are only slightly different from those of the previously reviewed Lenovo IdeaPad Y580. In our review of the IdeaPad Y580, we used a model with a backlit keyboard using the US layout. Our sample IdeaPad Z580 does not include this feature. Lenovo markets its slightly-rounded, island-style keyboard under the name “AccuType” and uses this design for virtually all notebooks. We found the keys’ feedback to be fine but their shorter stroke required some getting used to. The small shift keys and busy layout in the right third of the keyboard could also be improved. The dedicated numeric keypad of this device is potentially unnecessary.
The touchpad is identical to that of the IdeaPad Y580. While slightly off center, the touchpad has an adequate size. The slightly matte plastic surface provided a good feel but the gliding properties were imperfect. More information about the input device can be found in our review of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 gaming notebook.
IdeaPad Z580使用的评论联想IdeaPad Y580只是略有不同的输入设备。在我们审查的IdeaPad Y580，我们使用了一个模型，带背光键盘，采用美国布局。我们的样本的IdeaPad Z580不包括此功能。联想销售稍圆的，下的名称“AccuType”孤岛式键盘，几乎所有的笔记本电脑，并使用这样的设计。键的反馈，我们发现被罚款，但其较短的行程需要一些时间来适应。的小的移位键和忙碌在右第三键盘布局也可以得到改善。此设备是专用的数字键盘，可能是不必要的。
触摸板是相同的IdeaPad Y580。虽然稍微偏离中心，触控板具有足够的大小。略带磨砂的塑料表面提供了一个良好的感觉，，但滑翔性能是不完善的。输入设备的更多信息，可以发现在我们的审查，联想IdeaP
Display
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 uses a glossy 15.6-inch Samsung SEC4252 1366x768 display in the 16:9 aspect ratio. This combination corresponds to the typical standard for most multimedia notebooks. More expensive alternatives typically use a Full HD 1920x1080 display which would be desirable for those choosing the IdeaPad Z580 with a Blu-ray drive. However, the inclusion of a Full HD display would likely increase the price beyond the targeted range for the entire IdeaPad Z580 series. Alternatively, one might use the HDMI or VGA output to drive an external monitor. In this regard, we found that the transmission quality left nothing to be desired.
To test the technical aspects of the display, we used the Gossen Mavo Monitor tool. We observed a maximum brightness of 233 cd/m2 which places the display in the middle of the pack. The measured 212 cd/m2 average brightness and 85 percent illumination confirm this assessment.
联想IdeaPad Z580采用了镜面15.6英寸的三星SEC42521366×768，按16:9的纵横比显示。这样的组合对于大多数多媒体笔记本电脑的典型标准。更便宜的替代品，通常使用1920×1080的全高清显示，这将是理想的选择的IdeaPad Z580与蓝光驱动器。然而，列入全高清显示器可能会提高价格，超出目标范围，为整个的IdeaPad Z580系列。另外，可以使用HDMI或VGA输出，以驱动外部显示器。在这方面，我们发现，传输质量没有剩下要理想。
要测试的显示技术方面，我们采用了高森MAVO监视器工具。我们观察到，最大亮度为233 cd/m2的显示在中间包。测得212流明的平均亮度和85％的照明确认这样的评价。

51.5% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
We also measured a black level of 1.57 cd/m2 which is simply too high. As a result, deep blacks could not be reproduced by the display. On the other hand, contrast ratio was decent. These traits were particularly noticeable when watching movies. Overall, we felt that the colors were well represented and at an appropriate level of sharpness. However, our measurements indicated that the display is insufficient for full reproduction of the sRGB color space. Compared to similar devices, this is only a marginal difference.
我们还测量了一个黑色1.57 cd/m2的水平实在太高了。其结果是，不能被再现深黑色由显示。另一方面，对比度是体面。这些特点看电影时尤为明显。整体而言，我们认为，颜色很好的体现，在适当的水平清晰度。然而，我们的测量表明，显示不足的sRGB色彩空间的所有再现。类似的设备相比，这是只有轻微的差别。
In outdoor use, the combination of unspectacular brightness and glossy screen surface became rather noticeable. While working outside might still be possible in the shade where the screen occasionally displayed annoying reflections, direct sunlight made outdoor use virtually impossible. A matte screen would have been a nice option for this scenario.
在室外使用时，不引人注意的亮度和镜面屏幕表面的组合变得相当明显。而在外地工作，可能仍然有可能在阴凉处地方偶尔会显示在屏幕上恼人的反射，阳光直射的户外使用几乎是不可能的。这种情况下，磨砂屏幕会是一个不错的选择。
We observed viewing angles that confirmed the notion that the 15.6-inch Samsung screen is merely an average display. While display contents remained more or less stable even at low horizontal angles where the primary point of criticism was a brightness reduction, even minor deviations in the vertical axis caused color inversion. For this reason, one is likely to choose a TV over the IdeaPad Z580 for sharing movies with friends.
我们观察到，证实了15.6英寸的三星屏的概念，即仅仅是一个平均显示的视角。虽然显示的内容或多或少保持稳定，即使在低的水平角度，主要的批评是亮度减低，甚至轻微的垂直轴偏差造成颜色反转。出于这个原因，很可能选择一个电视电影的朋友分享过的IdeaPad Z580。
Performance
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 M81EAGE uses an up-to-date Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5-3210M dual-core processor. This processor has a base clock of 2.5 GHz for its two cores and is capable of handling four threads simultaneously. Due to Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, the processor is capable of speeds up to 2.9 GHz for dual-core operation and 3.1 GHz for single-core operation. The counterpart, Intel SpeedStep technology, allows the processor to excel in low-power operation as well. During low-demand scenarios, this processor operates at only 800 MHz. As a member of the Ivy Bridge family, the processor also includes the CPU-integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000. For those unfamiliar with this widespread integrated graphics solution, please consult our Intel HD Graphics 4000 benchmark article.
Apart from the processor, the most critical component of the IdeaPad Z580 is the Nvidia GeForce GT 630M dedicated graphics card with 2 GB GDDR3 memory and support for DirectX 11. Nvidia Optimus technology allows the system to dynamically change between the processor-integrated graphics card for everyday tasks and the GT 630M for more demanding 3D applications without the need for an annoying system restart. The notebook’s configuration is rounded out by 8 GB of Sharetronic DDR3 memory and a 2.5-inch 1 TB hard drive.
Lenovo also offers other options and configurations that may increase or decrease the notebook’s overall price. Information regarding possible components and configurations can be found on the Lenovo Z580 datasheet.
联想IdeaPad Z580 M81EAGE的使用一个跟上时代的Ivy Bridge的英特尔酷睿i5-3210M双核处理器。该处理器具有基部为它的两个芯，时钟为2.5GHz，能够同时处理四个线程。由于Turbo Boost 2.0技术，处理器速度高达2.9 GHz的双核心业务和3.1 GHz的单核心业务的能力。对方，Intel SpeedStep技术，可以让处理器在低功耗操作到Excel。在低需求的情况下，工作在800 MHz的处理器。的Ivy Bridge家族的成员，该处理器还包含了CPU，集成Intel HD Graphics4000。对于那些不熟悉这种普遍的集成图形解决方案，请咨询我们的英特尔HD Graphics4000基准的文章。
除了处理器的IdeaPad Z580，最关键的部件是Nvidia GeForce GT 630M独立显卡，2 GB GDDR3显示内存，支持DirectX 11。 NVIDIA®（英伟达™）Optimus技术，使系统能够动态改变处理器的集成显卡的日常工作和GT 630M之间，为要求苛刻的3D应用程序，而不需要一个恼人的系统重新启动。笔记本电脑的配置是杀进8 GB的Sharetronic DDR3内存和一块2.5英寸1 TB硬盘驱动器的。
联想还提供了其他选项和配置，可能会增加或减少笔记本的整体价格。联想Z580数据表上可以找到有关可能的组件和配置。
Processor
For reviewing any processor, we start with CPU benchmarks. We used the popular Cinebench R11.5 test suite to analyze the CPU’s performance. In the multi-threaded CPU test, the IdeaPad Z580’s Intel Core i5-3210M achieved a modest score of 2.88 points. The IdeaPad Z580 can also be configured to use a high-performance Intel Core i7-3612QM processor, making the IdeaPad Z580 competitive with other notebooks such as the MSI GE70 and Lenovo IdeaPad Y580. Of course, this also raises the question of economics as there is a significant premium attached to upgrading the processor. By comparison, the Dell XPS 15 which uses the aforementioned i7-3612QM and the Nvidia GeForce GT 640M achieved a score of 5.59 points in the same benchmark. The 94-percent performance difference is considerable. For those seeking to use the IdeaPad Z580 primarily for surfing the Web or watching movies, a dual-core processor should be adequate and the 100-Euro (~$125) premium could be used for accessories or other options.
审查任何处理器，我们从CPU的基准。我们采用了时下流行的CINEBENCH R11.5测试套件来分析CPU的性能。的IdeaPad Z580的英特尔酷睿i5-3210M CPU在多线程测试中，取得了适度的得分为2.88分。的IdeaPad Z580也可以被配置为使用一个高性能的英特尔酷睿i7-3612QM处理器，使得竞争力的IdeaPad Z580与其他如MSI GE70和联想IdeaPad Y580笔记本电脑。当然，这也引起了经济问题，是一个重大的升级处理器的溢价。相比较而言，戴尔XPS15，它使用了上述的酷睿i7-3612QM和Nvidia的GeForce GT640M取得了5.59分的得分在相同的基准。 94％的性能差异是相当大的。对于那些希望使用的IdeaPad Z580，主要用于网上冲浪或看电影，一个双核处理器应该是足够的和100欧元（约125美元）溢价可用于配件或其他选项。
System Performance
Of course, specifications alone do not sell notebooks. The performance of the specified components is also an important factor. As part of our review, we used the Futuremark series of system benchmarks. In PCMark 7, the IdeaPad Z580 achieved a total score of 2079 points. This places the notebook toward the middle of our benchmark database. The use of a physical hard disk prevented a higher rating as the quicker access times and higher transfer rates of a solid state drive significantly affect a system’s scores in PCMark 7. For example, the Dell XPS 14 achieved a score of 3467 points, an increase of 67 percent, despite having the same graphics processor through the use of the fast Samsung 830 SSD.
Nonetheless, the performance of the IdeaPad Z580 left a mostly positive impression in everyday use. Applications loaded fairly quickly and we did not observe long loading times. Only in direct comparison with SSD-based notebooks were load times noticeable. On average, the IdeaPad Z580 required 40 seconds for a system boot and between 30 and 50 seconds for Windows to load all necessary programs. Reducing the number of programs that start with Windows may help reduce overall system restart times.
当然，不单独销售的笔记本电脑。指定的组件的性能，也是一个重要的因素。作为我们的审阅，我们采用了Futuremark公司的系统基准测试。在PCMark7的IdeaPad Z580取得了2079分的总成绩。这向我们的基准数据库中的笔记本电脑。一个物理硬盘的使用避免了较高的评价，更快的访问时间和更高的传输速率的固态驱动器显着地影响系统的分数在PCMark7。例如，戴尔XPS 14的得分达到3467分，同比增长67％，尽管有相同的图形处理器，通过快速的三星830 SSD的使用。
然而，的IdeaPad Z580的性能在日常使用中留下的大多是正面的印象。应用程序加载相当快，我们并没有观察到漫长的加载时间。只有在直接比较SSD的笔记本电脑加载时间显着。的IdeaPad Z580，平均需要40秒的系统启动，并在30秒和50秒之间，Windows加载所有必要的程序。减少在Windows启动的程序的数量可能有助于降低整体系统重启时间。

Mass Storage
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 can be configured with storage solutions in capacities of 320, 500, 750, and 1000 GB. The largest option is the ST1000LM024, formerly made by Samsung. In 2011, the South Korean semiconductor manufacturer sold its hard drive division to Seagate. As a result, the formal naming of our IdeaPad Z580’s hard drive is the Seagate Samsung Spinpoint M8. This 2.5-inch drive operates at 5400 RPM and is accordingly not the fastest physical drive solution. We measured average sequential transfer rates of 90 MB/s at increased access times using AS SSD. Lenovo currently offers no quicker hard drive options. It is possible for even inexperienced end-users to replace the drive with an SSD using the SATA III interface.
联想IdeaPad Z580可配置能力为320，500，750和1000 GB的存储解决方案。最大的选项是ST1000LM024的，以前由三星。 2011年，韩国的半导体制造商出售给希捷的硬盘驱动器部门。因此，我们的IdeaPad Z580的硬盘驱动器是希捷三星Spinpoint M8正式命名。在5400 RPM2.5英寸驱动器工作，因此不是最快的物理驱动器解决方案。我们测量平均连续90 MB/ s的传输速率，增加访问时间，使用AS SSD。联想目前没有提供更快的硬盘驱动器选项。这是可能的，即使没有经验的用户更换驱动器采用SATA III接口的SSD。
Graphics Card
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 features the Nvidia GeForce GT 630M which seems to be ideal for multimedia applications based on its 2 GB GDDR3 memory and a core clock speed of 660 MHz. In order to test the performance of this graphics card, we used Futuremark’s synthetic 3D benchmarks.
Starting with 3DMark06, the GPU achieved a score of 7948 points which falls within the expected range. The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530, which uses the same graphics card, achieved a similar score. Other notebooks using the older Nvidia GeForce GT 540M, which is based on the same chip and Fermi architecture as the GT 630M, were also comparable in 3DMark06. On the other hand, the optional Nvidia GeForce GT 640M is based on the newer Kepler architecture and is fabricated based on a 28-nanometer process. By comparison, the GT 640M found in the MSI CX70 scored 12545 points representing a significant increase of 58 percent. However, the MSI CX70’s quad-core processor and GT 640M configuration would require a price increase of approximately 180 Euro (~$225).
Tests performed using the 3DMark11 benchmark suite confirmed earlier results.
联想IdeaPad Z580采用了NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M的，这似乎是为2 GB GDDR3显示内存，660 MHz的核心时脉速度的基础上的多媒体应用程序的理想选择。为了测试这款显卡的性能，我们采用了Futuremark的合成3D基准。
从3DMark06测试中，GPU得分达到了7948点，落在预期范围内。联想ThinkPad Edge E530，使用相同的图形卡，实现了类似的成绩。其他笔记本电脑使用的旧Nvidia的GeForce GT 540M，它是基于相同的芯片和Fermi架构的GT 630M，也比在3DMark06中。另一方面，可选的NVIDIA GeForce GT640M的基础上新的开普勒架构的28纳米工艺制造的基础上。相比之下，GT640M发现MSI CX70的拿下了12545点，较显着增长58％。然而，MSI CX70的四核处理器和GT640M的配置，需要提高价格约为180欧元（约$225）。
使用3Dmark11的基准测试套件进行的测试证实了早先的结果。

Gaming Performance
The IdeaPad Z580’s Nvidia GeForce GT 630M is generally considered a member of the lower-middle class and is not particularly suitable for the latest games at high resolutions. However, casual gamers may certainly consider this graphics card. In addition to our extensive database, we played three games on the IdeaPad Z580 and used our standardized testing procedures. Most games could be played smoothly at the screen’s native 1366x768 resolution. One such example was Diablo 3 in which the IdeaPad Z580 managed a good frame rate of 56 fps in high settings. By comparison, the Intel HD Graphics 4000 only managed an average of 21 fps, a reduction of 62.5 percent. The Nvidia GeForce GT 640M achieved a result of 65 fps in the same scenario, resulting in a 16 percent improvement.
IdeaPad Z580的NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M的通常被认为是较低的中产阶层的一员，是不是特别适合在高分辨率最新的游戏。然而，休闲游戏玩家当然可以考虑这款显卡。此外，以我们丰富的数据库，我们打了三场比赛的IdeaPad Z580和使用我们的标准测试程序。大多数游戏都可以流畅播放，在屏幕的原生1366x768的分辨率。其中一个例子是“暗黑破坏神3中，其中的IdeaPad Z580管理的一个很好的帧率为56 fps的高设置。相比之下，英特尔HD Graphics4000只，平均21帧，减少了62.5％。的NVIDIA GeForce GT640M实现了在相同的情况下，65 fps的结果，导致了16％的改善。

Emissions
System Noise
The IdeaPad Z580’s primary sources of noise were its physical hard drive and case fan. During office use, the Z580 was not particularly silent but still decent with noise levels of 33.6 to 34.7 dB(A). This level is also acceptable for use during lectures in university and work settings. Under load or when playing a DVD, the notebook was easily noticeable with a measured peak noise level of 41.1 dB(A). However, the noise was not entirely problematic due to its low frequency range and quick drop-off rate after load was reduced.
系统噪声
的IdeaPad Z580噪音的主要来源是其物理硬盘驱动器和机箱风扇。在办公使用，Z580与33.6至34.7分贝（A）的噪音水平，特别沉默，但还过得去。这个级别也是可以接受的用于在讲座在大学和工作环境。根据负载或播放DVD时，测得的峰值噪声为41.1分贝（A）笔记本是很容易看到。然而，噪声是不完全的问题，由于其低的频率范围和负载降低后的急速下落降率。

Temperature
The IdeaPad Z580 demonstrated temperature issues, especially outdoors during the summer. During our measurements, ambient temperatures were between 24 and 25 degrees Celsius (75 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit). While idle, the notebook’s temperatures were consistently in the acceptable range as shown in the following figures. However, the maximum temperature of 33.6 degrees Celsius (92.5 degrees Fahrenheit) on the underside was noticeable even while idle.
During the load test, the system’s temperatures increased significantly. We measured a maximum temperature of 47.8 degrees Celsius (118.0 degrees Fahrenheit) on the underside near the fan. The comparison chart below also shows that most of the heat-generating components and the cooling system are installed on the left side of the IdeaPad Z580. On the right side, the notebook stayed consistently cool (blue on the heat map). On the other hand, the wrist rest and touchpad warmed up noticeably on the left side. A more efficient and possibly rear-facing cooling system would have been more desirable.
Another common heat-related issue is throttling. We are always concerned with whether full performance is available under load or if heat problems cause a general system slowdown. To answer this question, we use our simultaneous Futuremark and Prime95 load test for one hour. During this test, the CPU of the IdeaPad Z580 reached a temperature of 98 degrees Celsius (208 degrees Fahrenheit) which did not cause a thermal shutdown but the CPU’s clock speed settled at 2.4 GHz during dual-core operation. During subsequent execution of Cinebench R11.5 and 3DMark06, Turbo Boost responded normally. In terms of gaming, we were able to reproduce this slowdown which limited the CPU to 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz operation while playing Battlefield 3. This suggests a limitation in the BIOS similar to that of the Dell XPS 14 Ultrabook which had a similar problem. In the case of the XPS 14, updating the bios was very helpful.
IdeaPad Z580显示温度的问题，尤其是在夏季户外。我们的测量期间，环境温度是摄氏24度和25度之间（75和77华氏度）。处于闲置状态时，笔记本的温度始终在可接受的范围内，如在以下附图中示出。然而，最高温度为摄氏33.6度（92.5华氏度）的底部上的时间是明显，即使在空闲时。
在负载测试期间，系统的温度升高显着。我们测得的最大温度为47.8度摄氏度（118.0华氏度）的底面附近的风扇上。下面的对比图还显示，大多数的IdeaPad Z580的左侧上的热产生元件和冷却系统的安装。在右侧，笔记本电脑维持一贯酷（蓝色的热图）。另一方面，腕托和触摸板的左侧明显升温。一种更有效的，并可能会一直面朝后方的冷却系统，更可取的。
另一种常见的热相关的问题是节流。我们始终关注是否充分表现在负载或散热问题导致系统变慢。要回答这个问题，我们用我们的同时Futuremark公司和Prime95的负载测试一小时。在测试过程中，CPU的IdeaPad Z580的温度达到98度摄氏度（208华氏度），并没有引起热关断，但定居在2.4 GHz的双核CPU的时钟速度。 CINEBENCH R11.5和3DMark06的后续执行过程中，Turbo Boost的反应正常。在游戏方面，我们能够重现放缓，这限制了CPU2.4 GHz和2.5 GHz工作频率，而玩“战地3”。这表明在BIOS的限制类似的戴尔XPS 14的Ultrabook也有类似的问题。在XPS 14的情况下，BIOS的更新是非常有帮助的。

Speakers
The IdeaPad Z580 includes two stereo speakers with a rated output of two Watts each. Found above the keyboard, the speakers promise a “sharp sound system”. After our testing, we concluded that the IdeaPad Z580 is a multimedia notebook and its sound system is qualified for the responsibilities associated with such a purpose. Subjectively, the bass could have been a bit more emphasized. The pre-installed Dolby Home Theater v4 software is worth taking a look as it allows for various settings and custom profiles. Other playback options are possible using the built-in stereo jack and HDMI output.
IdeaPad Z580包括两个立体声扬声器的额定输出2瓦。在键盘上方，扬声器保证了“犀利音响系统”。经过我们的测试，我们得出的结论是的IdeaPad Z580是一款多媒体笔记本电脑和音响系统相关的责任，这样的目的是合格的。主观上，可能已经有点更强调低音。预装代杜比家庭影院软件是值得去看一看，因为它允许各种设置和自定义配置文件。其他播放选项可以使用内置的立体声插孔和HDMI输出。
Battery Life
Power Consumption
For mobile use, power consumption is an especially critical factor. As a result of the SpeedStep, Turbo Boost, and Nvidia Optimus technologies, the Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 is capable of balancing performance and power efficiency. In office use, the notebook required 10.8 to 15.2 Watts which is typical for notebooks of its configuration and class. Under load, the dedicated graphics card became active and the GPU and CPU power consumption subsequently increased to a maximum consumption of 70.1 Watts. Power consumption during standby mode and while turned off also matched expectations.
耗电量
用于移动应用中，功耗是一个特别关键的因素。联想IdeaPad Z580的SpeedStep，涡轮增压和Nvidia的Optimus技术，因此，能够平衡性能和功耗效率。在办公室使用，笔记本电脑需要10.8〜15.2瓦，这是典型的笔记本电脑，其配置和类。负载下，独立显卡GPU和CPU的功耗变得活跃，随后上升到最大功耗为70.1瓦。在待机模式下的功耗，而关闭也符合市场预期。

Battery Runtime
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 includes a 6-cell Lithium-ion battery with a rated capacity of 48 Wh. Using the Battery Eater Reader’s Test with minimum display brightness, the Power Saver profile, and wireless modules disabled, the IdeaPad Z580 managed a runtime of 6 hours, 49 minutes. In contrast to this, the Classic Test was used to test the worst case scenario and was conducted with maximum screen brightness, wireless modules enabled, and the High Performance profile selected. In this case, the battery lasted for 1 hour 46 minutes.
While Lenovo claimed a battery runtime of up to five hours, they did not specify the conditions of this claim. In order to test a realistic scenario, we used our surfing via Wi-Fi test with a display brightness of approximately 150 cd/m2, Wi-Fi enabled, and the Power Saver profile selected. Under these conditions, the IdeaPad Z580 managed a runtime of 4 hours 34 minutes which is close to the claim made by Lenovo. It is possible that Lenovo’s test scenario used an even lower brightness.
联想IdeaPad Z580包括了6芯锂离子电池，额定容量为48瓦。最低显示亮度，省电配置文件，禁用无线模块，电池食阅读器的测试的IdeaPad Z580管理的运行时间为6小时，49分钟，。与此相反，经典的测试，以测试最坏的情况下，进行最大屏幕亮度，无线模块的启用，以及高性能的配置文件选择。在这种情况下，电池的持续了1小时46分钟。
尽管联想声称的电池运行时间长达五个小时，他们没有指定这个要求的条件。为了测试实际场景中，我们使用了冲浪通过Wi-Fi测试，Wi-Fi功能，与约150流明的显示亮度和省电的配置文件选择。在这种情况下，的IdeaPad Z580管理的运行时间为4小时34分钟，这是由联想的要求。这是可能的，联想的测试场景中使用更低的亮度。
Verdict
After conducting our review of the Lenovo IdeaPad Z580, we were left with a mixed impression. Some features and functions of the notebook were implemented well while other aspects were addressed with less elegance. The case gave us a nice aesthetic impression but was less convincing in terms of workmanship, haptics, and stability. The components match the current standards but a short 12-month warranty, the lack of Gigabit Ethernet, and the annoying trial virus protection left a negative impression. The input devices gave a good impression but also have room for improvement.
The LED-backlit display demonstrated acceptable performance. The measured values and glossy screen did not quite match what one might expect from a multimedia notebook. In this regard, the IdeaPad Z580 merely matched the performance of competitors from the same price range. We found the numerous configuration options to be a plus. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 630M allows casual gamers to enjoy gaming on the notebook. Nvidia Optimus and the Intel Core i5-3210M’s SpeedStep and Turbo Boost 2.0 combined to provide a good balance between performance and power efficiency. This is reflected in the power consumption and battery runtime. However, we also felt that heat development under load and fairly rapid throttling of the CPU to 2.4 GHz were points of concern. With a more efficient cooling system, the notebook’s full potential could have been reached.
While there were positive aspects of the notebook, there were also many negative traits. This resulted in a score of only 80 percent. For 699 Euro (~$875), the IdeaPad Z580 offers a solid notebook for a less-than-demanding consumer. We consider this notebook to be comparable to other notebooks from its class and price range.
在我们进行的审查，联想IdeaPad Z580，我们留下与混合的印象。某些特性和功能的笔记本电脑，实现得很好，而其他方面用更少的优雅。的情况下，给了我们一个很好的审美印象，但缺乏说服力的做工，触觉，稳定。的组成部分，符合目前的标准，但短短12个月的保修，缺乏千兆以太网，和恼人的试验病毒防护留下了负面的印象。输入设备了一个良好的印象，但也有改进的余地。
LED背光显示屏，显示可接受的性能。测量值和镜面屏幕不完全匹配，人们可能期望从一个多媒体笔记本电脑。的IdeaPad Z580在这方面，只是与竞争对手相同的价格范围内的性能。我们发现大量的配置选项是一个加号。专用的NVIDIA GeForce GT630M可以让休闲玩家享受游戏的笔记本电脑。 NVIDIA Optimus和英特尔酷睿i5-3210M的SpeedStep和Turbo Boost2.0相结合，提供了良好的性能和功率效率之间的平衡。这反映在功耗和电池运行时。然而，我们也认为，热显影负载下，较快地节流的CPU2.4 GHz的关注点。更有效的冷却系统，笔记本电脑的全部潜力可能已经达到。
的笔记本虽然出现了一些积极的方面，也有许多负面的特征。这导致了一个得分只有80％。为699欧元（约$875），一个不那么苛刻的消费者的IdeaPad Z580提供了坚实的笔记本。我们认为这款笔记本与其他笔记本电脑从它的阶级和价格范围。
