This review is from: Lenovo Ideapad U410 14 inch Ultrabook - Graphite (Intel Core i5 3317U 2.6GHz, 6Gb RAM, 750Gb HDD + 32Gb SSD, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Nvidia Graphics, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) (Personal Computers)

Very impressive to use.
The 30GB SSD cache certainly seems to speed things along.
Build feels sturdy, keyboard nice to use, touchpad smooth & responsive.
The metal case certainly makes you feel like you've got a high quality product.

This model has had a lot of recorded issues with wi-fi connection problems, so I've been acutely sensitive to this issue.
In my first 8 days of ownership, I had 2 dropouts. Having said that, it's been an occasional problem with all our devices, so prob the router to blame. Certainly it has stayed connected for hours at a time without probs, so fingers crossed.

This review is from: Lenovo Ideapad U410 14 inch Ultrabook - Ruby (Intel Core i5 3317U 1.7GHz, 6Gb RAM, 750Gb HDD + 32Gb SSD, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Nvidia Graphics, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) (Personal Computers)

I bought the U510 and U410 Ideapad's with Windows 8 because they advertised support for "Intel Smart Connect" technology (update emails while it sleeps) on their datasheet. They claim that the U410 comes preloaded with Intel Smart Connect and it did not. Also, the technology is not supported in their BIOS. Therefore, it doesn't update emails while it sleeps and it doesn't have the battery life they claim. Returning it to Lenovo for a complete refund. Frustrating to deal with Lenovo sales staff that doesn't understand the features on their datasheet. I've attached the datasheet link.

Before ordering this laptop I first checked with Amazon that the wireless problem had been fixed with their stock and I was swiftly sent this response "All of the defective models were previously pulled and they have been replaced with working laptops." Laptop arrived but the product was 'graphite grey' not 'ruby'. Manufacture date 2012/06/08 (8th June) Amazon sent a replacement product (I wanted to make sure I had the right/ newly manufactured product). Second laptop received... same problem with colour and date. The wireless seems to work fine but I am worried in case it goes wrong (which I don't really have time for seeing as I will rely on the use of the laptop daily!). The replacement service however was very efficient and I received the second laptop within 48 hours of notifying Amazon. I have now called Lenova to try and discover if my laptop might have the problem or not and all they could say was that if I encounter a problem with the wireless connection they can fix it under warranty in around 2 weeks. They also said they never pulled any products so I don't know why Amazon told me that. Very frustrated and I'm not sure who to believe! Having spent so long ordering replacements etc I haven't really used the laptop yet but other than the muck up by Amazon the laptop seems good, a nice design and surprisingly light along with a good spec for the money (£550 when I purchased it a week ago)! Hopefully I won't encounter problems with the wireless but I am certainly apprehensive as I can't seem to get answers from either Amazon or Lenova. Beware that your purchase may not be problem free and the likelihood is you could receive a product of any colour!!!

When I first recieved this product I was totally amazed, I loved the speed, size of HD, amazing graphics, the pricetag and even the colour.
However shortly after recieving I tried to connect to WiFi, I had problems right from the start and had very dodgy connection that would cut out, sometimes I'd have up to 4/5 bars but no connection worthy of proper internet usage. I knew it wasn't the wireless router itself because my mum has a laptop which has no connection issues.
Although the battery life is supposed to be really good but I get under 2 hours before I end up needing to plug the power in, the battery life is sucked up in no time.

I'd read reviews before buying this product and noted alot of people had WiFi issues but many had said that once they did the updates the problems ceased. Sadly updates did not fix mine and in the end decided to return it as it was not quite right and I want a laptop that is worth every penny!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Ultra poor, 1 Oct 2012

paulmixsee - See all my reviews

After three days I could only access the Internet if I had the laptop in the same room as the router.
The solid state drive didn't really appear to give the start up benefit claimed in the blurb.
Lenovo admitted they were experiencing difficulties with a batch of product, reference wireless connection.
I returned the product and was refunded by Amazon for the full amount.
I have since bought an iPad.

Now I have finally received a Lenovo U410 that doesn't have the wireless connection problem so now I can review it for the brilliant machine it is.
Value for money is superb its a well built machine with a aluminum finish for a good price. Its light and easy to hold in different positions. Performance is brilliant the machine boots out of the box very quickly setup is easy as it always is with Windows 7. I will also be able to get the £15 Win8 upgrade when it is released.
Wireless speeds are good can get up to 500kbps and pages always load quickly even with my slowish 6mb broadband speed. As with all mobile devices graphics are okay although playing Battlefield 3 in medium settings is pretty smooth.
Overall 10/10. Yes the original manufacturing problem with the wireless was annoying but I persisted and now have a superb laptop at a great price.
Note don't buy through Lenovo direct go to a reseller!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, with a couple of niggles for business use, 23 Sep 2012

NicolaB - See all my reviews

Received this last week as a replacement for an old business laptop and immediately took it away for a work conference. It seems so far to be a great wee machine, but with two small annoyances:
1. the shift key on the right of the keyboard is very small so I keep hitting the up arrow instead of shift when typing, I guess I'll get used to this is in time but right now its driving me daft!
2. I do a lot of spreadsheet work so would prefer the function keys ( F2 etc) to be accessible with one keystroke and not to have to use use two. Another point to get used to!

These are just annoyances though, overall it works well, is very user friendly, fast etc.
The screen is large enough for me to use with spreadsheet work, but still its light enough to carry around without it being a pain.
All in all a good buy.

After reading a lot of reviews about poor wifi connectivity on the lenovo u410, I was wary about getting it so contacted Lenovo about the problem first. They said that there had been a problem but this has been fixed, and any laptop manufactured from july 27th and onwards will not suffer from the same problem. I then contacted amazon to check when their stock had been manufactured, and found that lenovo had pulled all the defective laptops and replaced them with the new, fully working models.
So now I have one, and I must say the wifi connection, and everything else, is excellent! A brilliant laptop all round, much faster than my desktop and starting up the laptop takes seconds! Perfect for university!
Just thought I should let people know, as this laptop definitely doesn't deserve a 2 star rating now that its only flaw has been fixed.
