Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 Laptop

[SkildEnough]

This computer sucks. I am a user of this. It overheats easy, but is pretty durable. I dropped it down woodenstairs and it landed on concrete, and only the hard drive fell out (but I reinstalled it easily). Honestly for the price of it right now, you could get a far better laptop. Also, the fan is REALLY loud. The CPU is slow to respond as well at some times. Some massive freeze-up will happen and it will take me a minute or two to open up the task manager. I would write more, but too little room

[MrPcmedic]

Not worth what they cost !!!!!

[soomro]

This does get hot in your lap, though with a cooler fan it isn't bad. I don't know what hinge people are talking about but this is a solid laptop unless you go for aluminum that can be uncomfortable due to heat conductance. I changed the screen to matte and the computer has been fine with 7 upgrade and new lenovo drivers except for realtek drivers, but that isn't lenovo fault.

[stanley84pl]

sucks 

[alienthurandthur]

i have an older version of the y530 and it's okay but only 2gb and integrated graphics sucks

[grayxxtiger]

My lenovo hinge broke after 2 years and the speakers are also spliting in the back what should I do?

[gravelandgrain100]

This is a very "solid" laptop weightwise. I have gotten my use out of it, but the dvd/burner is junk. I have NEVER been able to watch/burn anything on it-it is pretty shatty there. Most of my memory is used up 3 yrs after I had it, I am in the market for a better laptop. Any ideas???

[vigligkig]

Lenovo is a great laptop. Don't listen to the cry babies crying about a damn hinge.

People don't know how to take care of their laptops for one. For 2 stop sitting your laptop on tables and in your laps dummies. Get you a laptop cooler, If your coller is not doing the job grab your fan and that will help cool your laptop. Most people don't even know how to take care of a laptop let alone a damn hinge. Get this laptop it's fast great laptop. Forget what cry babies say. I have a PC tech I'm good

[AfromtheJ]

@vigligkig There is a SIXTY THREE PAGE thread at forums.lenovo.com about the hinge problem. It is NOT the users, the hinges tension is set too tight causing damage to the hinges themselves and the bottom panel where the hinge plates attach. Other than this design issue, it's been a great laptop. I'm just lucky the hinges are available at eBay for $13 and I'm a tech and can do the work myself.

[DaveyD327]

Lenovo normally has really good build quality, but this notebook is NOTORIOUS for busted hinges. My brother had one for a little over a year before the hinge busted. Lenovo doesn't fix it, and the shop he took it too couldn't fix it either. At least not for less than a couple hundred dollars, and at that point you may as well buy a new laptop.

That's the only issue he ever had with it though. Other than that (a fluke, as far as Lenovos go) it was a great laptop.

[rajwardhan007]

Hinges of loptops break after 1 year !! I had really bad experience with hinges of this laptop.

[hrushikeshw2]

Lenovo Ideapad Y 330 the worst laptop ever. In less than a year I have faced serious problems in wireless, Optical drive was faulty, battery was changed 2 times still it SUCKS!!! Lenovo please dont cheat people.

[iYellowTv]

This laptop sucks...it breaks easy..

[soomro]

Has anyone tried changing the screen on these? I am getting a white spot bleed on the center left of the screen. I know it is a bleed since it is brightest on white background like Word document and becomes lighter on darker backgrounds.

I have been unable to find any info. I don't see any screws, so is the screen just forced out?

[lookman373]

i onl buy frum appile and lenovo

[xMandalorex]

so this is the closest thing we have to an ibm netbook ?

[GHxx1]

Again he starts to whine about IBM. It's Lenovo, IBM sold their division to them 5 years ago Onslow...sigh

[xMandalorex]

same build quality dickhead

[lookman373]

no look at the s netbook

[krzysieks194]

Which is the best laptop Dell Studio 1555 or Lenovo IdeaPad Y530?

[2fast4uspartan]

dell

[lookman373]

no get the lonovo y 450

[runallday400j50]

i wish he'd do a tutorial of the pencil spin on 0:23. i doubt that will happen though

[FIFAMAN07C3]

i bought this laptop a while ago, and was not satisfied. it says that it has 160 gb of storage space, but really it only has like 30 gb on the C drive. the rest is on the D drive. makes it very inconvenient. also the hinge is not very sturdy and breaks easily.

[canavra]

i have this an i have 180 gb space on C drive and 29 gb on Ddrive...

[FIFAMAN07C3]

i actually have the Y510 not Y530.

[ColombianMagi]

JAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJA

[RichmanDEranGed]

what is the battery life?

[althusser39]

it comes with 6 cell batery. it means 2,5-3 hours maximum.

[muk546]

GET A MAC

[samir9382]

no one can afford macs anymore

[muk546]

nope macs are not over priced

[supershaun91]

yeah, you can afford it. XP which most people can't

[runallday400j50]

is that a serious comment

[EgyptianPrinceCB]

Evn Mic's and Mac's buy Lenovo...

HP is garbage... Dell teh mother of all garbage... Toshiba is as plastic as a Honda...

Only brand that still has a DECENT frame is LENOVO

[miasmablk]

my OLLLD compag springily had a pretty decent ASUS mainboard in it and nothing was integrated

[EgyptianPrinceCB]

HP, Compaq (Compaq was bought out and liquidated by HP), and Dell...

the older they are, the better they were built ....

[lalobrit9]

Stupid glossy screens ¬¬ I love that Lenovo doesn't have them, except for this laptop, but this is a more commercial laptp than the T series or something :)

Lenovo Rules :D

[undergroundnotes1821]

I bought one recently and have had several difficulties with it and Lenovo tech support ever since. (Long story). I realize most companies have problems with their products. Lenovo is no exception. Also, it isn't an issue for me, but when he says it isn't heavy, he must be comparing it to something much heavier. I wouldn't buy a Lenovo again. They're mostly not bad people, but if you have problems and related questions, get ready for the wildest ride of your life.

[Prasanthhiphop]

ok love that.reallly when it goona come to india

[alan933]

He failed to mention:

Bad: High Glare Screen.

Bad: Home, End, Page Up and Page down are on function keys which is very difficult to get used to.

I do like the other benefit features he mentioned.

[groosam]

Hows the keyboard flex on this model and other Ideapads?...the Thinkpads seem to have lost their reputational build-quality after Lenovo took over.

[KramsMusic]

Pretty decent loptop lenovo always building a solid notebook and its durability is pretty nice even u drop this notebook several times just dont drop it hard lol its still good..my cousin has one of this he only bought it around $700 it was good in gaming he play crysis on his in medium settings.

[pobably911]

i really need a laptop actually good review

[4DUMBASSES]

i need a pc that can play quake live

[0ologitechnewbieo0]

Looks like a brick?

Didnt you hear him its a solid notebook thats why they last long and as for made in china most computers laptops are sony toshiba etc!!:D

[Specinneff]

wy r laptops called "notebooks" ?

[Kataroku]

Because crappy laptops can't be placed on your lap without burning your legs.

[Hhighre]

Because no one uses them on their laps anymore.

[3Dinvent]

the cameraman SUCKS fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck

[15eman]

lenovo is so durable

[smartwarlord]

and bam, 20 people die, 1 person injured.

[Studio2LH]

[smartwarlord]

[Studio2LH]

[paulbreor]

Dear god

Tiger tv/computer tv needs to stop advertising laptops....

there website offer so much

way more than just laptops.

i remember when they use to advertise individual parts, like videocards pci devices....NOW its just laptop this laptop that

[Bradleydl]

I agree. I will never purchase a laptop, because desktops are much more powerful, and plus, all of these laptops are so similar, they are just wasting their time.

[MandeepGadgetBoy]

Is a (high end) laptop, or desktop better for gaming? How are laptop keyboards for gaming?

[EoinTheInsomniac]

high end desktop is better then high end laptop

[MandeepGadgetBoy]

No I didn't mean the performance side I meant the handling. Like is laptop keyboards good for gaming (as the buttons don't go down as much as a desktop keyboard)? And my friend described it as being small and wierd for gaming if not put on a table?

[ridz16]

@ MandeepGadgetBoy

"Is a (high end) laptop, or desktop better for gaming?"

desktop is better for gaming IF you're a hardcore gamer that plays for 12hrs++

I used to game with laptop, even though I have a cooling fan at the bottom of the laptop it turns so hot I cant play cuz the keyboard is boiling hot

[josephgrovers]

desktops are always better for gaming, unless you're willing to pay 2x the money for a laptop with the same performance as the desktop.

[m66k]

looks quite good, but the screen should be bigger imo

[brianchris4]

wow.. did the opening music get even more annoying?

[h3wlett]

Really nice laptop!

[isinpeu]

wheres sam

[talldude123]

on vacation? Sick?

[Moonface00z]

HP is the best electronic company and they earned more than anyone and i meant any companies out there like sony or dell or alienware etc.

Although HP products are good but lots of disadvantages over the products ... example laptop hot air vents gets too hot easily

[sasquatch9934]

hp is not the best electronic company but they are pretty good. i do not like their desktop computers because of their locked motherboards and so on even for their higher priced ones, pretty good value though.

[darrenc12pdg123]

yeh ...no dell is better it has better models and has more products besides computers such as it produces better monitors than hp etc and it has alien ware on its line of sales what do hp have oooo the firebird...pwned

[atlaschooty]

nice.....

[Leafblower29]

Dude I SO want one.

[notToast]

I'm looking for a laptop that can handle very basic gaming, like TF2 and left 4 dead, but also has nice processor, >200gb hdd, and >3gb ram

what do u suggest?

[thesegamaster1234]

you need the y730 lenovo ideapad

[notToast]

looks like all those lenovos have 16:9 screen ratio and lots of stuff for movies .. i dont care about movies, i just want to use the internet and play games.

also are there any laptops without windows vista ?? i think vista is very bad for laptops, it uses way too much RAM. is there anything with windows 7 or ubuntu?

[thesegamaster1234]

Well i think you can down grade to to windows xp (i dont think Vista is that good eather) Do you wont a lenovo. I think that IBM computer are the best. we they have one of the y730 computers on sale now for $900 bucks. or you can go with dell or hp your choce.

[PASMdude]

I just bought a new toshiba laptop with vista hoping I could downgrade to xp but no drivers whatsoever for my new hardware in xp. I am stuck with vista.

[thesegamaster1234]

contact hp and see if you can get the drives for that laptop

[unrealhit88]

hp doesnt run toshiba hp is shit an gateway 2

[METMAN92towhoknows]

naw man, hp is alright

[PASMdude]

New laptops are starting to come with vista 64 bit. The 64 bit version can recognize more than 3 gigs of ram. Vista uses unused ram as cache memory so the more memory the better.

[chirt1]

well you could get the laptop i got, its hp pavilion dv5 notebook pc, 260gb hdd, 3gb ram, 2.26GHz, HDMI out, graphics are NVIDIA GeForce 9200m GS. best PC laptop iv ever had. =D

[CrdBrdProjects]

my friend's 15.4 inch screen has a 1680x1050 resolution, why don't more screens have this res?

[0dxd0]

bc it will jack up teh price like crazy

[CrdBrdProjects]

my friends laptop was only 450 bucks, and it runs windows 7 w/ aero beautifully with a index of 3.6 (win7)

[0dxd0]
