Lenovo ideapad 510 (15") in-depth review

The Lenovo Ideapad 510 might seem like the average budget-oriented notebook at first but actually, the device has a lot more to offer than its competitors and the difference is in the details. It comes as a breath of fresh air after the Ideapad 310, which lacked several key features for its asking price but if you are willing to spend just a few dollars extra, we strongly recommend the Ideapad 510 over the lower-end Ideapad 310.Why?

Pros

  • Good keyboard
  • Decent overall build with a small exception
  • Portable
  • Excellent IPS panel for the asking price

Cons
