Lenovo 3000 Y410

25 Nov, 2007, 5:20 pm IST | by Jayesh Mansukhani | Notebooks

The Y410 has a Centrino Duo T5450 CPU, 1GB RAM and a 120GB HDD, and is powered by a Intel X3100 chipset for its graphics with 256MB of VRAM support. These are very base-level specifications and this was reflected in its PCMark score of an even 3200. 3Dmark produced an atrocious 675. It’s clearly not designed for games.

As for battery life, the laptop was able to last 2 hours 10 minutes before it shut down. We nudged the laptop into 'improved battery life' profile, and found it managed to hold out for nearly 3 hours. All in all, this is pretty average.

One good thing about the Y410 is the increased security it offers. The laptop supports face recognition software, which has improved over time and allows you to log in easily. The only drawback that continues to hamper usability is its inability to recognize people who wear spectacles. Otherwise it works well.

In conclusion, the Lenovo Y410 is an average laptop. It suffers from an uninspiring design, odd design flaws, and strictly average battery life. However, it’s touted as a multimedia machine and in that respect I have to admit it shines. For its price of Rs 53,000 you may be hard-pressed to find a laptop that offers such good multimedia performance and decent security features to boot.
