U450p - strange style of laptop Lenovo Ideapad

Stylish design, light, easy to use, powerful enough configuration, good Wi-Fi connection, durable battery ., this machine can meet all common use needs.

Compared to the traditional ThinkPad U, the IdeaPad U450p is more compact, the rounded corners look softer. The impressive point is that the U450p weighs only 1.9 kg, making it different from other 14.1-inch notebooks (usually from 2., 2 kg - 2.4 kg).

IdeaPad U450p's keystroke system is also more sensitive and firm. The surface of the machine is a square shape, giving a more confident and confident grip, not slippery like other models.

The IdeaPad U450p still uses Lenovo's traditional black key, but the layout and design are a bit different. The 'difference' has not necessarily brought convenience to users. For example, the Enter key and Shift key are shorter than most similar keys of other models, making it difficult for users to manipulate. In addition, the window key (Windows) is also unusually small.

The next difference is that the extra function characters of the keyboard are painted red, which is easy to see compared to the light blue (hard to see) on other Lenovo models.

The IdeaPad U450p does not have Lenovo's traditional red mouse button (in the middle of the keyboard). In addition, two mouse buttons (left and right) in the armrest are plated with bright metal and the controls are sensitive and light. The U450p's touchpad also looks wider and easier to operate with multitouch technology.

IdeaPad U450p uses energy-saving chip Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300, 2 GB RAM, 14-inch LED screen, 320 GB hard drive, speaker system supports Dolby surround sound, Wi-Fi connection, Gigabit LAN, slot Read '4-in-1' card, HDMI connection and VGA output.

However, if you intend to synchronize data between laptop and phone, users will be slightly disappointed because IdeaPad U450p does not have Bluetooth as is often seen in recent laptops of Lenovo.

IdeaPad U450p is equipped with a high quality 14-inch mirror screen. With the requirement to watch movies or use them at normal levels, the screen's native resolution of 1366 x 768 (WXGA) is completely responsive. Thanks to the mirror screen, this laptop looks more polished, but in return you will feel uncomfortable with the reflection from the outside, especially when used in neon light or in lighting conditions. strong. Reflection becomes even worse if the device runs in battery mode (because the screen is darker, so the mirror image is clearer).

In terms of entertainment features, IdeaPad U450p still satisfies almost all common needs. The device is equipped with DVD optical drive for watching movies. With a series of computers that use energy-saving chips like the IdeaPad U450p, the use of integrated optical drives has been a significant upgrade.

The U450p's sound system is considered good thanks to the ability to support Dolby surround sound. Sound solid and while listening to MP3 music on the device.

In addition, the U450p is also equipped with a high quality 1.3 mp camera. Its high-end HDMI port provides high-speed connectivity with cameras / camcorders, LCD TVs or other high-quality monitors.

However, due to the use of integrated graphics (Intel GMA 4500MHD), the U450p can hardly meet the heavy graphics programs. In the Windows Experience Index, which measures the overall power of the device, the U450p's graphics capabilities still get a 3.2 rating - average. Of course, with the power of the CULV chip, plus 2 GB of RAM, you can still run graphics applications like Photoshop without any difficulty.

By using the latest energy-saving chip (CULV), the U450p's battery life can reach over 4 hours with 4-cell battery, even more than 6 hours (if using a 6-cell battery). However, compared to CULV chips, this is not an impressive result.

IdeaPad U450p is suitable for those who need a basic laptop for $ 799 (not including VAT).
