Value for money with high quality graphics

Oct 16, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Great graphics & video quality, connectivity options and stylish design. Decent battery life.
Cons: Very low sound from the speakers, plastic body on the sides feels flimsy
Opinion:
I bought this laptop primarily for gaming & multimedia and the excellent graphics does make gaming fun on this machine. However, i find the speakers barely audible...always have to plug in external speakers or headphone while watching movies.
Battery life is good and the plastic body makes the laptop lightweight for its size. (The charger is quite bulky though).
The plastic body feels a bit flimsy from the sides and bends a bit under pressure. Also the USB ports on the side are not affixed completely to the casing and i fear that i might accidentally snap them off some day.
The body-integrated touchpad looks very stylish but i sometimes have problems working with it. Guess my wrists hang low while typing and i accidentally move the cursor while typing.
Overall, a great buy for the price but make sure you can live with the sound output and the touchpad before you buy this machine.

Its better than other budget laptop.

Jan 13, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Graphic,Bluetooth and Wlan
Cons: Poor Ventilation
Opinion:
Well,if you guys out there considering a budget laptop,i fully recommended this Lenovo y400 for you.With Nvidia Graphic Card,Bluetooth and Wlan all in one,its indeed a good and affortable laptop in the market now.

If you are considering buying other asus or hp budget laptop,this laptop can fight the higher spec of both the mentioned brand.

Poor ventilation gets heat up easily for this laptop,but running on work application like word and internet surfing,this laptop does well in evrything.As for gaming,be sure to rest this laptop for a few mins before you go on.

Overall,i own it and it does everything that i wan and i need.A high spec laptop yet at an affortable price.

Good product from Lenovo. At this price point it's a pretty nice product. Performance wise as well it's quite decent configuration. Keyboard Layout, USB Ports placement and speakers can be better.
