Lenovo Ideapad Y650

We used the CyberLink DVD 9 to play a high-definition content and the playback was simply excellent. Even listening to music was a treat, thanks to built-in JBL speakers. Games that demand heavy resources such as Crysis will run seamlessly at low resolutions and settings.

As far as lighter games are concerned, they will be playable even at medium or high resolutions. Applications such as video encoding, ripping music in iTunes and using the Adobe CS3 suite will be smoothly operable. Considering the hardware and the test results, this laptop is certainly a good performer.__STARTQUOTE__The Y650 is ruggedly built and is also light in weight, therefore carrying it around will not give you sore shoulders.__ENDQUOTE__Design and Quality
Owing to the unconventional design—an elaborately stylish exterior—most multimedia fans will be attracted. The Y650 is based on a tri-color theme, black, bronze and white. The top of the lid is black and rubberized, while the inner screen-frame and the bezel are glossy. In contrast to the lid, the bezel is all-white and fl ashy—in a good way though.

Surprisingly, despite the glossy finish, finger prints aren’t prominent. We like the bronze beading along the edges, it adds to the pizzazz. While this theme would appeal to many people, it does remain a matter of personal choice. The Y650 is ruggedly built and is also light in weight, therefore carrying it around will not give you sore shoulders. It’s worth mentioning that the touch pad is unusually large in size and is quite responsive too.

Conclusion
If you’re looking for an all-in-one portable entertainment laptop which has powerful hardware, the Y650 is one of the best choices you’ll make with your Rs 1,03,990.
