Review Article Of Lenovo ideapad U110 Laptop
The U110 is Lenovo’s launch into the consumer grade ‘ultraportable’ category, and seemed to have hit a home run with this unit. It’s everything an ultraportable should be, without the suit and tie required color scheme.
The case about the U110 could be described merely as ‘handsome’ or ‘beautiful’ whichever term you prefer.The aluminum/metal LCD lid has a mesmerizing Celtic like etching design – as well as although initially I guess it’s time a bit chic, it didn’t offend me and eventually grew to my liking increasingly more. When you take out the U110, be prepared for fellow mobile users eyeing your ultraportable U110 with color envy – wishing their stark black or aluminum lid had as much character as yours. The matte black magnesium body functions the etching design as well – and is really resilient. It offered virtually no flex and no weak spots when the U110 was transported by holding the base.
The LCD bezel is extremely thin. Though it is made from extremely resilient alumiunum – I found it very susceptible to flex and puncture stress. It is nevertheless, among the items by which makes this unit so light, so care must be handled when opening/closing and transporting this unit. I would not recommend caryying this, nor moving this laptop directly by the LCD lid alone.
Upon opening the U110 – you’ll be greeted by a shiny, glossy, piano black finish that surrounds the LCD display, but the glossy functions also continue towards the keyboard where the whole unit functions a mirror like piano black finish – which looks truly nice, but attracts fingerprints and dust really quickly.
The keys nevertheless, were a treat to use, as they were a bit oversized and really created typing really efficient. I personally don’t like the glossy appear applied towards the keys, and being that they are so black – typing within the night was a bit hard to have (could really use that LED light in the x300 here!) If this unit had a LED backlit keyboard, it merely would be incredible – but it doesn’t.
Directly above the keyboard are the volume and media lauch touch areas. The volume is constantly illuminated, whilst the media quick launch touch region is activated by swiping (or touching) the glossy area above the keyboard, in which, this area will then illuminate. These were accented by the same Celtic like designs, but weren’t overpowering bright. They time out and dim back down after a couple of seconds if they are not utilized.
The track pad is nothing fancy, but works very well – however, the glossy buttons could use some work, and it is difficult to distinguish left and right clicks in the dark. If they had a tactile pattern assigned to one button I feel it would help, but because it feels just like most of the palm region and its flush mounted – finding and utilizing is usually a little hard.
The sound in the two tiny speakers mounted opposite the user can greatest be described as ‘something to be desired’. Even although – they did supply a decent amount of volume, it is defiantly geared for easy implementation and won’t impress much of anyone within the audiophile area. Highs had been really tinny, and lows had been non-existent. I would extremely suggest obtaining headphones / external speakers if you were to use this in any other setting than really, really casual listening. Nevertheless – it’s nice to point out that this ultraportable, still has stereo sound – unlike some other ultra-portables we can think of
The U110 functions a glossy 11.1′ LED backlit display running a native 1368×768 resolution making it a very crisp display for its size- and was had wonderful color output and evenly lit backlighting.
Measuring in at a mere 10.8 inches by 7.7 inches, and a height of only three quarters of an inch, it is a great example of what an ultraportable should, and can look like.
It’s a worthy road companion and won’t hurt the shoulders when transporting it around in it’s incorporated Lenovo notebook sleeve. One thing we did note about the 7 cell, is that it created the laptop computer have a little ledge about the rear to carry with, which really served the U110 some great. And another point on the 4 cell battery – it was a son-of-a-gun in an attempt to remove this in the U110! It had no points to truly grab to assist shimmy the battery out of it’s location.
