Lenovo Ideapad v570 review

[carl62strat]

So,6 months later have you had any issues? I'm planning on buying one tomorrow,but some best buys reviews sound kinda scary though.Great review & thank you for sharing.Love your voice by the way.

[MelodyLane815]

@carl62strat Yes I still love it! I use it all the time, always have tons of tabs open.

[Amiel666]

Does it have a geforce 520m?

[MelodyLane815]

@Amiel666 I don't know what that is.

[TaviYamato]

you should to gardening tools reviews

[akuma4u]

yes but will it blend?

[stormtro0per]

You play anything on this laptop?

[MelodyLane815]

@stormtro0per I use the Cricut Craft Room some people have trouble with that on their computers but I have no troubles.

[jazzybandy]

Does the keyboard light up?

[MelodyLane815]

@jazzybandy no id does not.

[soccr234]

I've had this computer about a month and it seems like the fan is running a vast majority of the time. It's not very loud so it's not that big of a deal, but it is kind of annoying. Have you noticed this as an issue?

[TheSimpleCamp]

@soccr234 Yes, sometimes it just turns on randomly when I'm just browsing the web on sites that don't even have heavy flash or anything.

[Brioski]

So, 4 months later are you still happy with this laptop? How is the webcam?

[MelodyLane815]

@Brioski yes very happy! Webcam works great! I have about 20 tabs open most of the time and edit videos alot.

[luismiguel22buhos5]

@Brioski hi, I also have this laptop and i can say that's is pretty awesome. no problems yet. the webcam is really good.

Nice review for a girl. You could / would be an excellent salesperson :P

[Flipty11]

This might be a weird question but how is the keyboard? Is it comfortable? I'm going to be doing a lot of typing on this and the sunken key design thing is worrying me a bit.

Thanks if you can help! Great video! :)

[prabdude2k64u]

good video

[TheSimpleCamp]

Not that impressed with the boot time, my v570 takes on average about a minute. But once it gets loaded up, everything is fast.

[4strokeh8er]

Got mine a couple weeks ago. Love it.

[Holzkohlen666]

This notebook isn't an Ideapad

It's an Essential.

Ideapads are buissness notebooks

[Mrskateisgreat]

@Holzkohlen666 wetten? wieso sollte es dann von lenovo so genannt werden??

[xoxosadiyaxoxo]

Hey do the videos (from ANY website) freeze up a lot? I've noticed this to be the only complaint I've seen on the Best Buy website's rating for this computer. Please let me know, so far, I think this is the laptop I want to get, but I would really hate it if the videos constantly kept stopping and I had to restart it and wait for it to load again.

[MelodyLane815]

@xoxosadiyaxoxo I watch videos all the time and they don't freeze up.

[TheSimpleCamp]

@xoxosadiyaxoxo That has to do with your internet connection or the web browser, not the computer itself... Videos don't ever freeze for me.

[TheSimpleCamp]

I have the EXACT same computer (from RAM to processor and this model) and so far so good!! This is very good for only $600 :)

[iPowerPlayerTV]

most laptops have everything on the side who the hell wants it on the back thats dumb

[pratscism]

Does it hav 1GB dedicated graphic card wch one...sorry if u hav mentioned but i didnt notice the sticker...hows the battery life and does it play high end games like hotman bloodmoney and NFS smoothly with highest graphics???........

I'm planning to buy it soon so plz reply at the earliest.

Thanks

[legomastr1]

@pratscism i think its 6 gb of ram and im not sure about those games. the intel hd is good for its class but its an ok graphics card. it can run mafia 2 pretty well but its not a high performance card its kinda like an ati raedon hd 4000 ish. its good but nowhere near good enough for competitive type gaming

[babush92]

whats the battery life?



[KZGonZa]

res is 768 height no 900 ?

[alek123ish]

Lenooovoouuuu :D

[icitnow]

Hi. Thanks for the review. (I'd already decided to buy one of these-this just confirms it-a little more) All the reviews-customer and respected sites-Downloadcom/CNET, PC Mag, etc have given this particular laptop great reviews. Hey, this is kinda coincidental-while watching this video, I had some FF tabs open just as you did, and I had the Best Buy site open-with that same exact page with this laptop on there! My wife has an Etsy site also-its at lucindascharms (I can't post a link here)

[MelodyLane815]

@icitnow cool I will have to check out her site too. It really is a great computer.

[icitnow]

@MelodyLane815 Hi I am playing with it now. Just got it earlier this PM. I love it! The one thing is getting used to the keyboard. I keep hitting wrong keys or the + or NUM Lock key when I want to hit Backspace. I was used to using a Macbook Pro that my wife had over the summer. Other than that, I am very satisfied! I decided to check it out at PC Pitstop and when the test results came back, it was in the top 6%!! I downloaded all free software-AVG, OpenOffice CCleaner, Roboform and Firefox.

[blowtell3]

how are the speakers and video playback such as youtube?

[MelodyLane815]

@blowtell3 Speakers are great I usally have to turn them down because it's too loud, video is great.

[TheSimpleCamp]

@MelodyLane815 Me too, they're really loud xD

[2kmpl]

thanks a lot for the review...it was very helpful

[notebookplayer]

thanks for the review



[luisrock19]

how do you like it so far? would you recommend it for college? i'm gunna be using it a lot for reports and maybe taking notes with it.

[MelodyLane815]

@luisrock19 Yes, I think it would be great for College. I just love it.

[demet199]

So happy I found this! I bought one today at Best Buy for my senior year and this is the only video review I could find. Picking it up tomorrow! Can't wait!
