Lenovo’s latest 15.4” IdeaPad has probably made quite a few people a bit interested given it’s decent specs and sub-$1,000 price point. Then again if your even a little smart you know to wait for reviews especially when it comes to the less upgradeable hardware… like laptops.
Well for those of you that are smart enough to hunt down online reviews your time has come as HotHardware has gone all out and pretty much abused this little piece of discount hardware. While it’s got a decent bit of computer memory, and it’s packing the Core 2 Duo along with a NVIDIA GeForce 9300M and they strained it to the limits to see just how far the laptop could go. The testing wasn’t to see if some joe-schmoe could use word easily, they pushed it to see if it could handle gaming situations and how it managed them.
Apparently one of the biggest features they loved was the 15.4” display that was extremely crisp, not to mention the noteworthy stability even under heavy stress. I won’t go into the full details of their review, but it comes down to… well gaming is good but if your a heavy gamer you’ll probably want to spend some extra cash. But as a do-it-all and don’t crash no matter how hard you push it, especially for under that $1,000 price it’s a really solid purchase.
