Lenovo IdeaPad Y480N Game Notebook Review

In upgrading fast in the IT industry, a product can be maintained high popularity and sales of many years, is not an easy task, especially when the notebook, there is little a model name to the vast majority of consumers remember. Our recent interview with some friends around, they say the first thought of a popular classic models, which we hear most is: the sturdy little y-.

I remember in 2007, Lenovo's main push model is a space-F41, was it by virtue of the elegant lines of the shape of many consumers, as the Olympic Games, the world's computer equipment manufacturers, Lenovo in order to expand the global offensive, only canceled Lenovo Tianyi series was very famous, from the origin in terms of the Tianyi F41 Lenovo Internal called ideaPad Y410. Beginning in 2008, Lenovo officially launched ideaPad Y series, the first model, Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 (Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 battery) is.

Lenovo ideaPad Y480 from Lenovo products over the years the circuit diagram of view should be listed in April this year, why this time to market is a little late to some? And Intel Ivy Bridge platform to postpone a great relationship. If the foundries there is a problem, Lenovo can also enable other foundries manufacturing, but if Intel has a problem, then the lack of processor is in any case unable to produce the finished product. The annual Intel will end in the winter or two Zhoudui Ping Taiwan to upgrade, but this year's release of Ivy Bridge has been postponed.

Truly let the Y series of popular outbreak, or from Lenovo IdeaPad Y450 in 2009, with the graphics card configuration than similar products, as well as a rather special orange waist. Li-ion, 4400mAh, 10.8V/11.1V Lenovo IdeaPad Y450 battery can work for l ong time, left a deep impression to many people. Also from the beginning of the year, it is really the game performance of the notebook and desktop comparable. Also worth mentioning is that, as a model for student groups, the sturdy little y by university students involved in the design, this is also one of the reasons for the high popularity among young people.

In the next two years, the Lenovo Y460 (Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 battery) and Y470 continuation of the high popularity of their predecessors, and continues to introduce new features, hardware configuration, and has become one of the most famous notebook series. However, nearly two years of IT industry is undergoing a revolution, the Tablet PC turned out, the rapid growth of smart phones, ultra-pole are also traditional notebook contests. In such a complex competitive environment, the Lenovo Y480 by virtue of which the new "skills" to get the consumers?

As the first generation Lenovo Y Series Y430 is in the hardware configuration and design is under a lot of effort, and its appearance today seems no way out of date to think idea of ??music everywhere has a "dominant design ideas Y430 body elements of entertainment, such as the use of the latest Centrino 2 platform, light weave texture appearance of bright spots, face recognition was also very "high end" configuration. In performance, with the Sandy bridge platform, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M in high-end discrete graphics, Y480N more to force the Kepler architecture GT 650M graphics card.

Many products of industrial design, in fact, does not need to frequently change much to preserve those elements of user acceptance, users are less satisfied with can be improved. As the ThinkPad and Apple Macbook over the years retained some classic design elements, such as the ThinkPad's red dot, the Macbook solid color body. Lenovo ideaPad Y480N provides four USB ports, each of the two left and right, and left two or faster USB 3.0 interface, so that a wealth of configuration so I am quite satisfied with the local fans of the game, even though an external keyboard and mouse also more than enough. In addition, the other interface is relatively complete, sufficient for the average user. In terms of hardware configuration, and today we have reviewed this Y480N Core i7-3610QM quad-core processors, HM76 motherboard chipsets, Kepler architecture, the NVIDIA GT 650M GDDR5 graphics discrete graphics, 4GB of DDR3-1600 memory and 1TB hard drive, you can said to be fairly high-end configuration.

Thermal testing of the above we can see that the Lenovo ideaPad Y480N in the heat compared to previous generations, some progress, first of all, it's internal temperature control is ideal, even if the pager state, the processor core temperature is only 77 degrees Celsius, the graphics card temperature was 82 degrees Celsius, for a high-performance gaming for independence was the already quite good, it seems a new generation of hardware improvements in the process, does reduce a lot of heat.

Body surface temperature, the temperature of the central location of the keyboard is a bit high, but after all, here in contact with the user less the opposite, with the greatest exposure to the palm rest position, the temperature control is very good, or people satisfied. But more importantly, the majority of people use the small y, does not require a long time typing and more young people will be an external keyboard and mouse, and then play the game, so as long as the machine is running stable, internal temperature control the local temperature of the body surface is a little higher, does not matter.

On the whole, we believe that this official version of the Y480N, continues the fine tradition of many of the small y, the hardware performance is to force the cooling effect is an improvement, "sturdy little y" worthy of this title. In the next days, we will it to a more in-depth testing, so stay tuned.
