Lenovo 3000 Y510

Lenovo has, over the past couple of years, focused on promoting its Y-range of products as multimedia powerhouses that also boast of good performance. By and large this tactic has worked well for the company. Does the recently introduced Y510 break the mold, or does it offer more of the same? Read on to find out.

Design and Features
The Y510, in a departure from previous models in this range, has a sober all-black finish. The lid has a beautiful matte finish, with grids reminiscent of expensive wallpaper paneling. The area around the keyboard has a smoothly diffused lead-colored finish that looks very classy. The LCD panel, however, is a bit of a disappointment, as it has a highly reflective surface and causes all kind of viewing problems.

Physically, the laptop is similar to other previous Lenovo models. Its profile is similar to that of a body-builder, so weight-wise it could do with a bit of slimming down. However, like most Lenovo models, the construction is quite sound – the sturdy plastic emits no audible squeak nor shows any extra flex.
