This price not only includes an above-average sound quality, but also a bright Full HD screen. While buyers have to invest over 1500 Euros (~$2062) with other manufacturers for appealing performance, the IdeaPad Y510p only costs a bit more than 1000 Euros (~$1375).

Lenovo's IdeaPad Y510p is a unique multimedia laptop that turns into a swift gamer due to the ultrabay.Īpart from the micro-stutters and driver dependency, the GeForce GT 755M SLI is unexpectedly impressive.
The verdict from our last review also applies to the new version. Irregular maintenance could cause performance losses (no SLI profile in the driver). We would not recommend for less savvy users to buy a dual-GPU system though. A few games like Dota 2, GRID 2, and BioShock: Infinite are even accelerated to over 40 fps (average). This is not a matter of course for a 1100 Euros (~$1512) laptop. Most titles can be played in the native resolution with nice looks when anti-aliasing and maximum graphics options are not used (concerns Assassin's Creed IV, Crysis 3, Metro: Last Light & Far Cry 3). The system only computes about half as fast when SLI is disabled.

It can be seen that Nvidia designs good drivers in the single GT 755M. The SLI array tears past a GTX 765M by almost 50%.
Despite usable frame rates, the gameplay often does not seem very smooth.Īlthough the GeForce GTX 770 lags behind by over 10%, the image looks smoother with a single high-end chip. Besides the high driver dependency, it is primarily micro-stutters that are quite distinctive in the IdeaPad Y510p. The 2.4 GHz adapter technically supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 (300 Mbit/s maximum).Īs expected, the GeForce GT 755M SLI struggles with the typical drawbacks of a dual-GPU array. However, most laptops barely do a better job in this scenario. The signal strength at most displayed 1-2 bars, if at all, when the laptop was used over ten meters away from the router, and had to transmit through a few walls. Despite the well-known brand name, it performance was only satisfactory. Intel's Centrino Wireless-N 2230 takes care of wireless communication. The laptop does not feature a fingerprint scanner, eSATA or FireWire port.

A 720p webcam and two microphones are found above the screen. While no interfaces are on the rear, a card reader is located on the front. Only the Kensington lock and power socket have been cleverly placed in the laptop's rear area. That applies to the USB ports (1x 2.0 + 2x 3.0), the HDMI and VGA out, as well as the RJ45 Gigabit LAN port, among others. The distribution that is concentrated on the sides' front will annoy both left-handed and right-handed users when using an external mouse. The ports' positioning is still unfavorable. The IdeaPad Y510p 59400120 is powered by a large 1000 GB hybrid hard drive (SSHD) with a preinstalled version of Windows 8 64-bit. Thus, we will concentrate on speed in this review.īuyers who want to save a bit of money, and who do not focus as much on performance will find something among the lower-priced single-GPU models that are partly sold without an operating system. The GeForce GT 755M SLI has to compete against the old GT 750M SLI, as well as premium accelerators, such as the GTX 765M and GTX 770M. Rather than only one GeForce GT 755M, the review sample can make use of a dual-GPU array. Lenovo installs a so-called ultrabay slot that allows inserting many alternative components, such as a further hard drive, an optical drive, or as in our case, a second graphics card. The real highlight is found on the laptop's right. Besides that, Lenovo uses a high-definition 15.6-inch screen that is, unlike the IdeaPad Y500, non-reflective. The premium-range representative is accompanied by a swift 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM bar with a memory capacity of 8 GB (max. Intel's Core i7-4700MQ is presently very popular due to its high performance.
Lenovo installs a powerful quad-core CPU under the hood of the 2.9 kilogram and 387 x 259 x 39 millimeter chassis to justify the price. The IdeaPad Y510p 59400120 we are testing is currently priced somewhere around 1050 Euros to 1250 Euros (~$1443 to ~$1718) depending on the (online) shop. For the original German review, see here.
