By Brenda Stokes on Monday, Mar 23rd 2009 No Comments

lenovo ideapad y550 The IdeaPad Y550 15.6-inch model from Lenovo has been on our radar for awhile, but we didn’t know very much about it, at least when it comes to specifics. Until now, that is. This 15.6-inch notebook is meant for those looking to make the most of multimedia applications and focuses in on entertainment.

The details didn’t come out in the form of an official release; rather, they were leaked by a retailer called Fad Fusion. This notebook has an Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 processor, 4GB of DDR3 system memory, a 320 GB hard drive, GMA X4500MHD integrated graphics, a 1366 x 768 resolution display and a DVD burner. The display also uses LED backlight and has a 16:9 aspect ratio.

There’s no doubt about it: this notebook really packs a punch. With built-in stereo speakers, a subwoofer and Dolby Home Theater 2 tech, you’re sure to get a great movie experience out of it. Plus, the 1.3 megapixel web cam, 802.11n WiFi, and 6-cell battery round out the portable media package. A multi-touch trackpad is expected to be included as well. You can expect to pay around $826 for this notebook whenever it’s finally released.

CES 2009: Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds hands-on

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jan 8th 2009 No Comments

Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds may have been around for a few weeks, but CES has been the first opportunity we at SlashGear have had to play with the dual-display behemoth. Based on Lenovo’s original W700, complete with a Wacom graphics digitizer integrated into the palm rest, the W700ds adds a pull-out 10.6-inch LCD display that slides from the main 17-inch panel. It’s an interesting concept, but our hands-on impressions leave us wondering if the compromises are worth it.
