Attractive design, good sound and connectivity, built-in webcam

Limited viewing angle, facial recognition is not a viable security measure and One Key Recovery can cause problems for novice users due to inconvenient partitioning

The Y510-300 is a fairy decent all-purpose notebook suitable for those with a strong budget and an eye for design. With good connectivity and strong hardware performance, just make sure you use the D drive after purchase.

Design, easy access power-mode button, facial recognition (while gimmicky is still kind of cool)

Fairly average results from the Dolby tests

Lenovo's first reach into the booming consumer-notebook market looks to be a good one. The IdeaPad Y510 has got style and function, now we just have to see the local build and we'll be happy.

Hardy construction ; A multimedia machine with great speakers

Anti-glare screen actually caused glare

Well-built laptop provides middle of the road performance and a sizable hard disk for a good price.

Good-looking, textured design. Frameless widescreen is sleek. Keyboard isn't like a ThinkPad's, but it's nice. Five speakers and Dolby surround sound. Budget price.

Available through online retailers and Office Depot only. Limited configurations. No extended battery option. ; Watch the Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 Video Review!

Excellent built-in speakers ; Solid construction ; Attractive design ; Nice one-touch power management

Overly glossy/reflective display ; A little heavy compared to competition

Sure, we would have liked to see an HDMI port and dedicated graphics option (here in the US) for a can't-miss multimedia package. But the lack of these features is hardly a deal breaker for most consumers. In fact, the only "serious" negative issue...

Solid construction; reasonably priced; face-recognition software that actually works; decent battery life.

Fixed configuration; overly glossy screen; no Bluetooth.

Lenovo's entry into the consumer laptop market with the 15-inch IdeaPad Y510 provides ThinkPad-like quality but the design still comes off as a little buttoned-up.
