While geeks discussing the number of ports in Ultrabooks and criticized the company for “lack of innovation”, ordinary users are buying mediocre and basic models. Some people need a computer exclusively for social networks and movies in the kitchen, someone to work with text documents and access to the network. And just such cost devices sold more than the flagship gaming systems. Today we look at the possibility of one of the representatives of the budget segment – Lenovo Ideapad 110 review.
PACKAGING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS
With a laptop, Lenovo Ideapad 110 review user will receive only the compact power adapter. No wonder, because the cost of your package often does not provide something extra. In any case, the most necessary is. Pre-installed on Windows 10 will not be stuffed with unnecessary software. Is that McAfee may be a bit bothersome. Several programs from the Lenovo brand, of course, there are (Account Portal, Companion for the diagnosis, App Explorer, Settings for additional camera settings and other things, etc), but I would not say that they will be useful.
From the first minutes of the Lenovo Ideapad, 110 review does not seem fast, that is to be expected from a budget device. On the other hand, powerful computers users will not notice much discomfort. As for the system from the HDD, guinea IdeaPad quite quickly turn on, run applications and perform all other tasks.
DESIGN AND USABILITY
Lenovo Ideapad 110 review comes only in black. This 15-inch laptop, which is not much different from the size of any low-cost competitor. The case is hardly modest: 378 x 256 x 22.9 mm, weight – 2.2 kg. Though it is called a portable laptop, now more appreciate the compactness and light weight, but this is clearly not about the 15-inch machine. These laptops are increasingly replacing stationary desktop computers in offices and home desks.
Housing entirely made of plastic. Top keys around the keyboard features such as leather and the cover display got a point texture. Such “decoration” a little hide traces of use. Plastic and soft enough flex in almost all areas. The top lid is very pliable to bend, that was visible when closing the device in one of the corners of the display (I would suggest closing the lid somewhere closer to the center). Crunches and squeaks from the body a lot. Expands IdeaPad 180 degrees. At the same time carefully lift the lid with one hand will not work.
All connectors are located on the left cabinet side: 2 USB (2.0 and 3.0), RJ-45, HDMI, composite and 3.5mm Jack socket for charging. A matter of habit, of course, but it would be a bit easier if the connectors are located closer to the display, not the user. Although in this particular problem is not (if not the left-handed user who uses the mouse with his left hand, in which case the connected cables can interfere). In addition, a built-in card reader under the touchpad. On the right, there is a slot for the drive (in our case it is not), and a Kensington lock. Due to the passive cooling system on the side of the entrance, there places / air outlet, only a small mesh on the bottom cover. This solution makes the device look nicer, and his work quietly.
The assembly of inexpensive laptops rarely praised. Immediately also have sharp seams, a “soft” body, scratches and minor tweaks. Of course, all these shortcomings can be tolerated, especially with an eye on the cost of the device.
DISPLAY
Lenovo Ideapad 110 review is equipped with a 15.6-inch display with a TN-matrix. The screen resolution was 1366 x 768 pixels (100 ppi). Yes, against the background of the top units it sounds and looks bad, but in fact, there are many users that such permission is not very worried. And high-quality display for a small fee is difficult to imagine. For such a value is literally a couple of options with Full HD, all the rest – HD Ready.
Matrix glossy plastic covers. It clearly reflects all light objects; next, to a window, in which the sun is shining, it is not very convenient to operate. And at maximum backlight will not help to win all the glare.
As for color, it is expected, it is far from ideal. The picture looks very cold and dull colors. Detailing, of course, it is lost, too. With a small screen is rotated vertically image instantly changed. Such a display is not exactly satisfied with those who work with photos, videos, or is engaged in design. But undemanding users and those who do not pay too much attention to all this, it may well come up.
THE KEYBOARD, TOUCHPAD, CAMERA, SOUND
If you were previously familiar with keyboards in Lenovo Ideapad 110 review laptops, the global changes, you will not find. Compared with the conventional (standard) keyboard layout, you can only select the right Shift, which moved the arrow keys. Otherwise, the key arrangement has not caused problems. After prolonged use Apple keyboards, I was able to work with blind keyboard Lenovo IdeaPad test with a minimum of errors.
The plastic touchpad quite a bit recessed into the body. It is not lost and the hand does not interfere with printing. Like most other touchpads, it is not very convenient to use and it would be desirable to replace the traditional mouse. But in the absence of accessories, so the sensor will work properly.
Those users who listen to music through the laptop Lenovo Ideapad 110 review speakers will be difficult to IdeaPad 110. Sound a little, it is inexpressive and almost no bass. In short, can not do without additional speakers. But the built-in microphone for video conveys it well. For headphone has a combo jack.
The camera is 0.3 MP received permission and its quality leaves much to be desired. Again, for video calls over Skype, it features enough.
PERFORMANCE AND SOFTWARE
Lenovo Ideapad 110 review In various embodiments processors 110, until the sixth generation i5, can be set. On the review was a cheaper version with a quad Intel Pentium N3710 clocked at 1.6 GHz. The amount of RAM was 4GB. Responsible for the graphics integrated Intel HD Graphics 405. the decision to have a hard disk of 500 GB for user data.
As you already understand me, this computer is not suitable for games. This performance will be enough for a home computer that is used by the browser, mail, messengers, viewing movies and photos. it is also nice for ordinary office tasks. But demanding users will be the noticeable delay when opening anything. And when the system saves up all kinds of custom dust, such deceleration will be more apparent than on “fresh” system.
From the pleasant moments it can be noted that in the empty space for the drive (or instead of), you can install additional SSD or HDD. And this is one of the best updates for these systems. Since CO in this notebook passive, replacing the hard drive to SSD will do the job completely silent. It is a nice bonus, you can add support for Wi-Fi standard AC networks.
Preinstalled Windows 10 running on that hardware without any criticism. Yes, its low productivity, but during the test period the device there were no surprises. Connect to an external Full HD-monitor (a higher resolution for the additional screens are not supported) to the eye is not much impact on laptop performance. And all undemanding tasks performed well, while excessive heating is not seen.AUTONOMY
Non-removable battery 2200 mAh on the documents will last for 3 hours. Approximately such a result and get you when browsing the web and other small problems at half the backlight power. Of course, this is not enough for a long trip. But this is enough for the case when the office lost electricity, and important projects to finish or at least save before shutdown. A full charge takes a little more than 3 hours.
PROS: PRICE; GOOD KEYBOARD; THE POSSIBILITY OF A SMALL UPGRADE; VIRTUALLY SILENT OPERATION
CONS: THE PICTURE, COLOR REPRODUCTION, AND VIEWING ANGLES; CHASSIS FLEX WHEN YOU PRESS THE SLACK; PERFORMANCE; SOUND; AUTONOMY COULD BE MORE
CONCLUSION
Test Lenovo Ideapad 110 review practically does not differ from the majority of low-cost laptops. In a competitive environment, you can find options with a more powerful graphics chip, but everything else will be roughly comparable to our current review of the hero. But adding another $ 50, you can find options with Full HD-display. In any case, for undemanding users, and simple tasks, this option is ideal.
