Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

With a beautiful design and complete facilities, Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 is an ideal representation of a PC AiO. Not long ago, the vendor re-release of his newest family IdeaCentre labeled C300. Can be traced from its name if this product is set as a downgraded version of the A600. However, the design aspect remains a mainstay of Lenovo. This time they gave the face of attraction with classical motifs frame.

Class differences with the “brother” immediately apparent when we looked in the hardware specifications. To suppress the price, Lenovo uses Intel’s Atom processor. But instead of using a type of N270 or N280 is actually intended for the netbook, C300 carrying a targeted N330 Intel for nettop. Naturally, if the performance was quite rushed C300 compared to other PC at AiO level. Especially if you just used for standard computing activities.

Shown with 20-inch screen, C300 is well suited to satisfy the users of the multimedia side. The availability of an internal DVD drive into an advantage compared to C300 class competitors who generally only provide an external optical device.

But when tested, the ability to play HD video files, not as smooth as the way of hope. In some sections, the resulting picture somewhat broken. It does not matter if the play is a standard multimedia files such as AVI, WMV, and MP4.

Intrigued with its 3D performance, we played the game Doom 3 with the C300. The result? It turned out pretty good. Much more smoothly than when playing HD video.

We also would like to structure the wide keyboard, mouse control of a futuristic wide touchpad, the on / off, and marker lights hidden above the keyboard. Envy15 minimal value was shown without the presence of various stickers, such as a notebook that had been offered in the market, ranging from Intel Inside, stickers specifications, and others seemed unsure of himself.

Envy15 is at the same class as MacBook Pro notebook made by Apple, but more sophisticated and luxurious while still placing the optical disc DVD player as an extra connection or not integrated into one. Packaging reflect Envy15 magnesium alloy luxury.
