Review laptop Lenovo IdeaPad 100-15

Recently, Lenovo particularly pleased their fans replenishment model series laptops. It is noteworthy that produced diverse models, both low cost, and premium. In this review we will focus on low-cost segment representative – review laptop Lenovo IdeaPad 100-15, oriented to meet the daily needs of computer users.

This 15-inch gadget is hardly representative, but it is ideal for the home or office interior. Heavy duty, he also is not, however, to “povsednevku” – this is a great option! Well, let’s not beat around the bush, and move closer to the point.

Design: review laptop Lenovo IdeaPad

The manufacturer claims that the review laptop Lenovo IdeaPad 100-15 – an entry-level device. He assured that the gadget for those users who are just starting to develop laptops, as well as everyone who sees no reason to spend money unnecessarily on them. Accordingly, with the appearance of the laptop engineers are not particularly wise. First, it is entirely made of plastic, practical black. The cover has an interesting textured coating pleasing to the touch. Although it is currently delayed on fingerprints, but not so active that it was a problem. At the top, there is a small logo and nothing else.

When you open the laptop immediately apparent high hinges that form a decent gap. In functionality it has no effect, but, in general, it looks very good. The screen is surrounded by a not very wide frame on the upper side which flaunts a webcam. The surface is plastic, and also black. The keyboard and touchpad look quite comfortable.

Dimensions of the review laptop Lenovo IdeaPad are 378h265h23 mm and weighs 2.31 kg. In general, it is safe to throw it in your bag and do not be afraid to excessive gravity on his shoulder. But with the build quality is not so simple: the cover is easily deformed when the latter pressure, so accidental exposure to the housing device to be feared, so as not to damage its integrity.

Display, sound, and webcam: review laptop Lenovo IdeaPad

Regardless of what you choose a complete set, the characteristics of the screen are each identical. Thus, the device is equipped with the 15.6-inch display with a fairly modest by today’s standards, a resolution of HD (1366×768 pixels) and the density of pixels per inch – 100 ppi. As you have probably guessed, the screen is not a strong point of this laptop and do not need to be an expert to understand it. The maximum brightness level does not even reach 250 cd / m2, a contrast ratio of better things – 546: 1. Match sRGB scheme is only 54% AdobeRGB and even less – 47% and these figures are considered to be quite low. The color rendition, in general, also leaves much to be desired: the image is pale and unrealistic.

The display is based on the TN-matrix, so the viewing angles are very limited. In addition, it is better not to use a laptop in the street, because of the glossy surface and the absence of the anti-reflective coating, consider something on the screen, it will be extremely difficult.

Plus, this location is that it is directed immediately to the user, and, therefore, will not be distorted and sounds hollow, like a barrel. However, to speak about the good sound quality is also not necessary, in particular, the bass and bass is virtually inaudible. In principle, the daily watching movies and listening to music sound should be enough; otherwise, it is always because you can use headphones.

0.3-megapixel webcam wonders, of course, are not created. No, video-calling capabilities it will be enough, but no more.

Keyboard and Touchpad: review laptop Lenovo IdeaPad

The surface is made of a sufficiently rigid plastic that is willing to fingerprints and dust accumulates. Like the vast majority of modern laptops, the keyboard, in this case, is made on island basis. It is not too large square-shaped keys with white markings.

There are no features that would be distinguished from the other keyboard, no: for example, the button [Enter] – single-row, both [Shift] have a very small size. A switch block is located close to the nampad, but because it is easy to offend. With regard to the power button of the laptop, it is located above the keyboard, in the left corner. Key has a circular shape, as well as tangible border, allowing it to grope in the dark, there is no trouble. Illumination is, unfortunately, absent, which, again, typical for laptops budget level. The buttons have an average speed and a good return, but we cannot say that the keyboard has turned out successful. Actually, not so: if you print to it from time to time, it does not feel any discomfort, but work on it for a long time will still not very convenient.

As for the touchpad, it is located directly under space and slightly shifted to the left side. Tactile it is very nice, at least, his fingers glide over it easily. There is support for basic multi-touch gestures, such as zooming, dragging, etc. Pointing a solid horizontal physical button, this replaces a similar mouse button.
