Every once in a while a computer wows everyone with its processing power and features. With a price tag of at least $1,399, would the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P be that laptop? Let us take a close look at the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P and find out.

 

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P belongs to the next generation of laptops. That is because of its very powerful processor, the Core i7 which is touted as the smartest processor ever to have been produced by man. The Y550P implements the 220QM variant of the thinking machine, running at a speed of 1.6 gigahertz. To support this performance, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P is equipped with up to at least 8 gigabytes of RAM to ensure seamless processing even when running multiply memory-hungry programs at once.

 

Designed to accommodate whatever tasks that are thrown its way, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P has features that will breeze through requirements for multimedia, business or gaming. Aside from its fast and smooth processor paired with its large amount of RAM, the laptop is endowed with a graphics processor to make heavy 3D rendering possible and glitchless: the Nvidia Geforce 240M. The card provides up to 1 gigabyte of video RAM, allowing the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P to run even the newest games in the market which require at least 512 MB and at most 1 gigabyte of VRAM. 

 

The large VRAM capacity of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P through its GeForce card also allows for a satisfactory viewing of high definition content. In addition, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P is given a more-than-adequate display size of 15.6 inches. Although it falls short of true HD resolution with only 1366×768 pixels, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P makes it up for clear details thanks to its GeForce graphics card.  To complete the multimedia experience, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P comes with Dolby Stereo speakers and a built-in subwoofer for high quality audio.

 

Whatever the need, the hard disk space is always an important feature for every laptop. No matter how powerful the processor is, the computer will amount to nothing if there is not enough space for the files to be placed in.

 

With the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P, however, there is more than adequate storage for your files with 500 gigabytes of space available. This ensures enough space for your files especially HD content that eats up a lot of gigabytes for a feature-length film.

 

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P also offers support for Blu-Ray with its multi-drive. It also has features like a OneKey Rescue system, a Hybrid TV tuner, and the Veriface Face Recognition technology.

CONS

Although it has graphics support for high definition multimedia, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P’s display resolution is not true 1080p at only 1366×768.
