User Reviews for Lenovo Ideapad S400 (59-340453) (Core i3 2nd Gen/2 GB/500 GB/DOS) Laptop

i have bought this laptop from the market at a higher price than mentioned here. At first i didnt believed it but i again enquired about its price in other shops too but the prices are even more higher than i bought. (all the configuration are same even the colour) CONCLUSION : i'm regretting for not ordering it from flipkart Now IN TERMS OF LOOKS AND PRFORMANCE this is a fair choise not good in my opinion REASON I'm Dissappointed of - 1. the camera quality is highly dissapponting 2. the laptop is not as fast as i expected i.e runs too slow 3. No otical drive 4. Glossy screen makes it look cheap (in my opinion) 5. Battery back up isn't good enough (about 2-2.5 hours max) REASON YOU SHOULD BUY THIS LAPTOP FOR 1.you cannot even imagine to get such a great looking laptop at this price point. 2.ITS very very thin at just 23mm (absolutely looks like an ultrabook) 3.keyboard is really awesome 4.weight is about 1.8 kg i.e travelling with a backpack having this laptop feels like travelling with a tablet 5.sound is really good (Dolby advance audio v2)

Reviewing it post using it for one week. Lets begin with who should not go for this laptop: - The battery wont entertain you a LOTR kind of movies on a stretch. The claim of 4 hour battery back is definitely false. It will last for 2- 2:30 hr. So people looking for long battery life should avoid this model. - A clock speed of 1.4 GHz may not be sufficient for playing hard core games. So such people should avoid it. Though 1 GB graphics card will definitely support moderate level games. - People who wana do Video chats with their friends (Average Camera quality) Who should go for it: - Its definitely worth every penny for people who roam from one place to other with lappy at their back. (Light weight) - People vying for looks in laptop (Compaq & Sleek design, can beat any ultrabook in the market) - People looking for Ultra book features in under 30 K budget - People looking for great display while watching movies or playing games. Personally i would give it 4/5 & would recommend it for normal usage. Its definitely a good purchase for students particularly for girls & professionals who travel a lot.

I have purchase this sleek book last Saturday. I have purchased for Rs. 33300 with 8 GB RAM up gradation. Pros:- 1. Sleek book 2. Easy to carry 3. Less heat 4. Ultra fast USB 3.0 5. Keyboard is good except Function keys operation (we have to use 'Fn' key) 6. Great sound 7. Battery backup is good.(But previous reviewers say that they are getting only 2-2.5 hrs, but i m getting 4 hrs backup) Cons:- 1. I m a visual studio developer. While debugging I have to use either F10 or F11 key.. But while pressing F10 or F11 some characters are being typed. I have to press any function key along with 'Fn' key. That's a bit embarrassing as we need to leave mouse and press 'Fn' and a function key. Is there any solution for this to make Function Keys as their default operation without pressing 'Fn' key? please help. 2. Webcam is poor. 3. No optical drive (for XP users needs an external drive) 4. Processor clock speed is low (1.4 GHz). 5. Touch pad is not up to the mark. Buttons are hard. Only at one particular area double tapping is accepted.

no words for this ultimate product by lenovo ........no loophole .........Loaded Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 together... With windows 7 the product runs hassle free... full 3 hours battery backup in normal mode... with power saver option another hour can be expected. Graphics card helps 1080p videos run without any extra effort. Sound quality of the machine is simply brilliant. With ubuntu a little bit of heating is there but rest other things are good... Weight of the laptop is under 2 kilos, this is a major advantage of this eyecandy... Verdict: Performance packed and Expensive looking laptop at an amazingly small price... I installed Windows 7 and accidently formatted the hidden partition used for Lenovo quick start and One Key recovery and now unable to restore... Somebody help...
