Lenovo’s IdeaPad Y530 is a multimedia notebook that offers the consumers some cool multimedia features. It comes with Dolby Home Theater sound plus subwoofer and four surround speakers, light-touch media controls, HDMI out, and a "frameless" display panel. With a subdued and simple design and solid construction, this notebook targets dorm rooms and even serves as a home theater system’s media hub.
Powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2 Ghz, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 specs include 250GB 5400RPM SATA hard drive, 3GB DDR3 SDRAM, 15.4 inch WXGA glossy widescreen display (1280 x 800), NVIDIA GeForce 9300M with 256MB VRAM, and integrated DVD-Writer optical drive. It also features a 1.3 MP integrated camera, a face recognition software, high definition audio, Wireless LAN antenna, Bluetooth antenna, and 6-in1 card reader, and Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1, 32-bit).
On the downside, IdeaPad Y530 has overly reflective screen. Weighing 6.6 lbs, the notebook is also heavier than other systems with similar size. Although its subdued design may strike some as square, the midsize notebook delivers a decent media experience for a reasonable price of $799. Check Lenovo’s Where To Buy section. The notebook measures 14.2 x 10.3 x 1.4 inches. Overall, it stands up against the competition in a packed market segment.
