Design
310 Lenovo IdeaPad outwardly looks very similar to the IdeaPad U300s ultrabook first. U310, but more affordable, but not thin or light by U300. 400 g heavier than 18 mm thick U300s, U310 actually not an entirely consistent with the picture that sleek ultrabook Intel and marketing partners in the market.
U310 has no less than 6 different skin color to choose the orange and black, but beautiful on the U300s does not see it. U310 is not shaped like a book that U300s when closed, though the new ultrabook whose edges are rounded off to not cut into the palm of the user as the old U300s.
When sliding aluminum lid of the machine is what kept us from showing off reminiscent of Apple Macs. From slightly sunken chiclet keyboard to large glass touchpad and black plated, Lenovo Idea310 made the breath of the Cupertino, where Apple is headquartered. Compared to it’s thickness over the same MacBook Pro Air, but still impressive, is the same MacBook.
In addition, the machine also has two LEDs on the front of the laptop used to indicate hard drive activity, and power status.
The function keys on the Lenovo U310 laptop also reversed as Apple, that is the media control keys and toggle keys Wi-Fi can be done by pressing a single key (not using keystrokes ). Keyboard flex is phenomenal (sunk key) quite clearly, though moderately journey keys and layout of keys, especially the arrow keys, there is nothing to blame. The keyboard of the U310 not backlit type.
Moderate-sized touchpad, quite comfortable with manipulating multi-touch controls, glass coating provides smooth feeling when surfing finger. However, tracking operation of the touchpad sometimes tangle and jump when click, may be due to driver error produced by Synaptics touchpad – as well as the manufacturer for the Windows laptop in the laptop that does not see happening similar phenomenon.
Function
Lenovo IdeaPad U310 can display 1366 x 768 pixels – the resolution commonly found on the laptop at the same price, so the machine can guess with glossy screens will aggravate the already bad angle. If you increase the screen brightness up also improved slightly, but not cover the fault of this screen.
Everyone liked the display with high resolution and angle misalignment (offaxis) better, but the screen like never cheap so they are rarely included in the ordinary laptop. But unfortunately when no upgrade options for those willing to spend money because even the more expensive U300s also use 1,366 x 768 pixel screen.
The U310 has a pretty standard configuration for an ultrabook with hybrid hard drives. In addition to super saving processor Ivy Bridge Core i5 power and 4GB RAM 500GB hard drive hybrid 32GB SSD cache. There is no discrete graphics option, however, redundant integrated graphics versus daily work.
Anti-theft technology from Intel Anti-Theft will ensure that the data on the U310 if it’s lost or stolen. The buyer is free to register for one year service.
Instead of Skype common symbol, Lenovo integrates a tool called ooVoo video chat software that came with the camera CyberLink YouCam’s Web. Chrome browser is surprising that as soon as he appeared boot.
Along with the Lenovo IdeaPad U310 price is 2 other mainstream ultrabook Dell and HP. All 3 laptops all use Ivy Bridge processors Core i5 and equipped with similar hybrid hard drive.
Dell’s 14-inch notebook that weighs little more than HP and Lenovo, which comes with discrete graphics performance Intel HD Graphics on the larger U310 and U310 Bluetooth, but no. Except for this, the 3 units similar in features and price.
Performance and battery life
With 2559 points PCMark 7, the Lenovo IdeaPad U310 ranked the same category as the HP Envy 4 with 2505 points, but with only integrated graphics, U310 HP can not run as good as when playing PC games by HP comes with AMD discrete graphics .U310 supports Lenovo Enhanced Experience featuring with the goal to improve boot time. For a laptop lacks an SSD, the speed achieved is 18 seconds, still a little longer than 13 seconds of the U300s and 4 seconds faster than HP Envy 4.
With hybrid hard drive could hardly high expectations on battery life. The laptop used to be in the range of 4 hours 50 minutes of standard tests, while the HP Envy 4 runs in 5 hours 17 minutes in a test also identical. All tests are done by the repeated run a standard video until the laptop battery ran out, the screen brightness is set at 50%, disable Wi-Fi and mute.
