Review Of Lenovo IdeaPad U350
REVIEW:
The Lenovo IdeaPad U350 is one of the smooth, glossy and well finished notebooks I have ever seen at this price range. It has a stylish design. Its lid has a black diamond pattern on the outer side with a silver colour logo of Lenovo and it is glossy black on the inner side. Its design has been made very cleverly so that it can be used in office as well as at home.
Its keyboard is large enough for a comfortable typing experience. You will find a power button, a recovery button and a mute button on its keyboard. But there are no multimedia keys or volume control keys available on this keyboard. It also provides a multi touch touchpad which is big and easy to use.
It has a 13.3 inch glossy display which supports 1366×768 pixels. It also provides 1.3 megapixel webcam which is enough for video chatting. Its stereo speakers are one of the best you will find on notebooks of this price range. Its sound quality is amazing. You can also use some software’s if you want to change the audio settings. One big disadvantage of this notebook is that it does not have a DVD drive.
