Yes, as you see in the title, this allows us to long-standing 14-inch notebook Lenovo IdeaPad has finally unveiled! no-profile ostentatious designs, no exaggerated ostentation of technology, it is a no-compromise normal household consumer products. However, the majority of staff can be a notebook that does not mean that Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 just one simple electronic products. Please do not forget that in its body, it still inherits the Lenovo ThinkPad of noble descent and. Therefore, the fine edge of mold design and hardware configuration of the same throughout every corner of the notebook. .
As the fourth Idea family member, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 adhering to the series of the top three of the many benefits of membership. Despite the fact that the entire family from advertised to listing only had half a year, but many honors wrapping IdeaPad brand, makes this brat products will still be able to easily find your suitable place. Of course, we have not yet officially listed in the making before such a bold prediction, in addition to taking into account its predecessors IdeaPad U110, IdeaPad Y510 and IdeaPad Y710's performance is quite good, the most important reason IdeaPad Y430 itself. .
14-inch die design, compared to the other three of the 11-inch, 15 inch and 17-inch, it seems more to please the Chinese use habits. Therefore, from this perspective, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 already shows the essence of success. On the other hand, if the boundless black crystal, touch keys, high-touch keyboard, and a series of technical achievements of the IdeaPad series, then the same with those of IdeaPad Y430, logical will also become the focus of the public.
14-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 die first test debut. .
If you see here, you are still on the Lenovo's new suspicious. Edit view, continue through the next few pages of the article, these concerns should be slowly disappear. Why?.
Edit this IdeaPad Y430 at the time to get the same report to the attitude of disdain: the so-called new, nothing more than the original re-arranged some parts together, then put on a little on the 1st of the mold, up to this. But with the increased use of time and the test started, only to find their own original idea quite hasty. Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 has shown, not just for these features, but more details are interesting and unique atmosphere ... .... .
· View the hardware configuration and performance testing.
Different from the past, editors did not intend to use the conventional appearance, hardware configuration, performance of the sequence to complete. We Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 is more emphasis on the hardware platform situation. As for why? The next few pages should be read will understand. .
Follow the slightly and inventive way, still use EVERest software system summary information on the configuration of the machine.

An understanding of the configuration, seems to be vaguely felt the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 contain strong performance, but this unit from inside a powerful force obviously cannot by simple configuration listed above, so the performance test of accession would be sufficient to release it. First is the performance test for Futuremark Corporation of PCMark05 to complete.
PCMark05 score of 5196 points. .
The final score to PCMark05 5196, judging from this score, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 have reached the market in high-end products. Then take a closer look at each subkey score, it is not difficult to get out that Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 processor performance tests showed a very strong performance and achieved excellent results of 6004; whereas the other three children score well balanced, no obvious constitutional defect and satisfactory overall performance.
* Processor and 3D graphics performance tests. .
Above, we do not mention the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 with details of the processor, and PCMark05 performance test processor subkey score can be seen that the processor is actually owned by the strong performance. So next, edit the IdeaPad Y430 on Lenovo's the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor for detailed testing.
Although the prototype to get the project, the processor was identified as beta version, but that did not affect our CPUID by EVERest software tool to view its basic information. Can see that the processor uses a Penryn-3M-core, processor core ID for the P8600, the 45-nanometer process to create, frequency 2. .4 GHz, FSB 1066MHz, 2 cache 3MB, Socket 479 interfaces.In addition, the processor also integrates x86, x86-64, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, as well as the latest SSSE4. .1 instruction set, full support for 64-bit operating system.

CPU-Z info.
Thus, we finally opened the true face of this processor: Intel's latest 45nm produced dual-core processor Core 2 Duo P8600 (as is the engineering prototype of the reasons, CPUID recognizes only the core of the processor ID, the name of the engineering prototype for the ES; and CPU-Z identify the name of the processor to T8300, Core ID the same as the P8600). At this point, I believe you must, and edit the same expectations of further explore the performance of good and bad, then the computation SuperPI test should be considered intuitive. .
104 million-bit floating-point arithmetic using 21 seconds.
Needless to say, 21 seconds to complete 1.04 million of floating-point operations can already clearly demonstrate Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 powerful computing capabilities. At the same time this result also shows that, even in the face of early Extreme series processors, the Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 processor is not the same disadvantage. To be more precise test, editing will be carried out using CINEBench capacity and image processor rendering tests. .
CINEBench test results.
Can clearly be seen, the single-processor, dual-core test score was 2606 points and 4955 points, dealing with the size of 800 × 600 8-bit images in just 2 minutes 58 seconds time. With our previous evaluation of the processors the same conclusion, this upcoming Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 has been fully reached the market in high-end laptop level.

· View the appearance and size of mould weighing weight.
"At first glance beautiful women, handsome guy" used to describe the IdeaPad U110 and IdeaPad Y710 quite right, but IdeaPad Y430 is concerned, it seems that its appearance is not that amazing. But look closely will then find that it has the same body style with avant-garde and the most vivid color contour lines. .
You can see the unique light woven textures covering all of the fuselage of the CAP, in the upper part of the superstructure, still in place with Lenovo "Lenovo" Logo, the use of chrome dark lithography technology. Whereas in the light of the surface decoration weaving effects below the line, is processed by special technology of space materials as supporting the entire screen of the mold. Edit the same try pressing its surface to inspection is, of course, the answer is Yes.
Still dressed in black. .
Many manufacturers are sought after by round angle edge design in the IdeaPad Y430 did not find any trace of legend completely abandon the "Volkswagen" structure. On the contrary, the more conscious will be sharpening the edges of the fuselage. Therefore, in our eyes, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 owns more distinctive profile and lines can be easily from many similar products in the spin-off.
Decorative light weave texture. .
IdeaPad Y510 has been editing the naming of "tu"-shaped mould design, also appears in the main body of this article. However, it is a slight difference, this time the Association to its given a more nice name – "KINK". Because of this design, from the perspective of the fuselage side, rear edge past more dynamic. While the earlier mentioned surface light textile texture textures, also extends to the region, and enhance overall sense.
"KINK" line design. .
As the article mentioned at the beginning, the 14-inch die more flattering to the Chinese people's habits, and the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 will also be a "please". Whole body size of length, width and height size 340mm x 253mm x 36mm, on the one hand, slightly smaller than the common of all products. In this way, the nature are also more comfortable.
Length, width and height size of 340mm x 253mm x 36mm. .
Size does not completely become buyers on portable comfort standards, the weight of the fuselage. Therefore, the use of State-electronic weighing scales on ACS6 Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 be weighing is also necessary.
Body weight of the situation. .
2. the belt battery weight .36kg and 2. .87kg containing power adapter weight equivalent to our satisfaction. Compared to the alternatives, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 in weight or obvious advantages. The results also make editing the IdeaPad U110 came up with a classic advertising: with "ideas" trip!.
14. .1-Inch widescreen LCD display. .
14-inch die design will bring 14. .1 inch LCD screen, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430, of course, nor that it would be contrary to the common sense. The machine is equipped with 14-inch widescreen .1. flat panel LCD monitor that provides standard 1280 x 800 display resolution. Through software testing can also be seen on the LCD Panel for the 2008 new 13-week production, color reproduction and a leaky achievements..
* The internal details of the view screen and the fuselage. .
Without questioning the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 security, although the whole notebooks are not equipped with many manufacturers the biometric fingerprint identification system (the majority of consumers are indeed the very breath with future technologies attract). But editing here to say that compared to fingerprint identification, Lenovo's unique portrait identification technology maybe closer to catch your attention.
Of course, these are just above the relative sensitivity of the analysis, the reality is in the top of the screen Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 is equipped with a 1.3 million pixel camera device. Fengyun camera images not only provide general entertainment or Internet video conferencing, and within the chip can also be achieved with face recognition technology. When you boot into the system, only to face the camera can be removed for a password or a fingerprint input part. Therefore, from a rational point of view, security camera equipment for the Fengyun even more significant. .
130 mega pixel camera above the screen.
The other details of the design is, as its own positioning and consumer products driven by the main trend of the market, Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 also used the screen without screen hook is fixed structures. Although various companies have a soft spot for such a design, and launched their own products, but can really be a perfect deal but not in the majority. .
No screen hook type design.
Why? Do not use the entire screen display hook means that the weight of the task should fall on the screen and the fixed axis of the body, thus damping shaft strength of their design is very important. But the screen shaft damping design is a very complex and test the level of some manufacturing companies, many PC makers in this regard is not good. So many products have appeared loose screen, in the end affect the display screen itself. .
Sunken hinge design.
Here, we have to mention the screen Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 shaft design. Very cutting-edge integrated sink structure, and the screen itself is very good together, the transition is very natural. The balance shaft of the damping force is also very good, open process in very accurate positioning, rare rebound phenomenon. When the screen into a 20 degree angle with the body about the time the loss of damping force and gravity self-closing. .
The screen can be turned on to 150 degrees.
In addition, thanks to the overall structural design, the screen can open to 150 degrees around the shaft in-one design of the screen is relatively large, user-friendly viewing from different angles. .
Entertainment shuttle press remains.
Keyboard base surface landmark entertainment shuttle function keys, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 continue to be preserved. Orange shuttle bond in the entertainment fan out in the middle of the dot and the external sector were key players and control the volume size to play the role. .
Support Microsoft Windows 84 key keyboard keys.
Similarly, the iconic design of course, will not think less of the high-touch keyboard. The ThinkPad keyboard from manufacturing technology, the IdeaPad series of notebooks to be carried forward. Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 is equipped with support for Microsoft Windows 84 key keyboard keys With this technology, the percussion and almost feel the level reached a normal keyboard, commendable. .
· Touchpad, subwoofer and interface distribution.
Lenovo IdeaPad Y430's touch can be re-designed common, however, touch the top of the region around the two key combination with the machine than the keyboard into the second adult outside the computer interaction devices. Although there is no fashionable appearance design, there is no biometric fingerprint reader, but return to the nature of the device, precise mouse positioning and good operation feel is the most important part of the touchpad. So from this perspective, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 is equipped with a set of traditional touchpad design, can be a success. .
Traditional touchpad design.
As the engineering prototype of the reasons we left and right palm rests in the IdeaPad Y430 position and did not find any stickers and icons, but it also makes printed in the right palm care corner location "ideapad" Logo is more clearly marked out the whole machine origin origin. .
"Ideapad" Logo mark.
Lenovo IdeaPad, as the future for a long period of time the consumer flagship model, has been great emphasis on multimedia audio and video entertainment design. Before the IdeaPad Y510 and IdeaPad Y710 is equipped with very good sound system, of course, the protagonist of this IdeaPad Y430 is no exception. The bottom of the bass speaker unit with the body facing a pair of speakers, constitutes the entire notebook's sound system, sound quality is quite good. .
At the bottom of the fuselage. bass loudspeaker unit.
Interface distribution is reasonable we examine the laptop is still an important part of one of the advantages and disadvantages, so a new mold to build the Lenovo IdeaPad Y410 naturally no exception. .
Distribution of positive interface.
In addition to mentioned above, a pair of amplified speakers, the body's positive legacy from our simple, practical design. Wireless LAN switch and multi-card reader is equipped with two devices, provide users with convenient operation and digital storage experience. .
There is no interface to the back of the fuselage.
With positive relative, IdeaPad Y430-one body in the back because the screen hinge and battery design presence has not place any interface, but it does not spread or cause the fuselage on both sides of the interface layout nervous about the situation. .
Slot-loading optical drive on the right side.
Slot-DVD burner to show off the IdeaPad Y430 noble descent, yes, editing is not kidding. Do not belittle this located in the fuselage to the right of "guy", slot-in optical drive in the ordinary notebook is hard to see, not to mention it or burn a DVD? Which is precisely because of this, even if the side is also equipped with a wealth of IEEE 1394, ExpressCard, and two USB 2. .0 Interface, it is hard to grab the limelight. .
The distribution on the left side interface.
Red and green of the audio input and output interface, the IdeaPad Y430 is still placed in the left side of the front. The color scheme of red with green felt with it strange? ThinkPad has always been at least this. In addition to the forefront of these two personality interfaces, skip the middle of the USB 2. .0, D-Sub port and behind the RJ-11 Modem, RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces, HDMI digital high-definition interface, adding also particularly noticeable. It seems to be coming true high-definition era. .
· Connection of arbitrary flux IGRS Beijing free wireless.
For most consumers, random software may only be the additional bonus materials manufacturers, these seemingly innocuous software and features will not arouse too much interest. Of course, the beginning is also the case that the editors, but with the increased use of laptop time, found that while the included software features of different brands vary but the quality varies greatly, but many of them can really help users to solve many problems or to provide a lot of convenience of. Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 comes with IGRS any communication should be one of them. .
Maybe it was luck, edit almost any pass through IGRS all versions use. As for the previous version of the software, you really can't let people compliment, edit with colored glasses to look at the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 onboard IGRS arbitrary flux 4. .0 release. However amazing is that after more than one version of the update, this software really has completely changed, whether it is feasible or ease of use have made quality.
IGRS any links 4. .0 Interface. .
Enter the system, the Windows Vista Sidebar there are any circular 4. IGRS .0 shortcut, click here to see more soon.

· Other software features.
Of course, in addition to any pass IGRS, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 comes with several other software have their own characteristics. Among them, the same experience with the IGRS multiple versions of the updated Lenovo EasyCapture also made in the light emitted. Double-click the desktop shortcut icon, you can access the software's user interface. With the previous versions, for not only the most basic of photo shooting with, but also for video recording / playback, picture preview, video effects processing and other functions, giving the impression that its more like a multimedia control center, rather than simple camera tools。.
Lenovo EasyCapture. .
In particular, the special effects processing capabilities, you can set the camera to the photo of different styles of handling, and Photoshop are very similar to the filter function.
Effects processing. .
Another concern is the Lenovo VeriFace III portrait recognition technology, also mentioned above. For this feature to edit a personal opinion it is not a kind of sensuous display technology, so that consumers feel that enough to buy Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 later to gain a more "cool" login experience. On the contrary, from a security perspective, the portrait recognition more favourable to the protection of the system log, providing more reliable to use platform.
VeriFace III face recognition technology. .
Power2Go disc burning software.
Finally, also the editor likes the Power2Go software. Entering the system, be able to see down the bottom right corner position with four cubes floating icon. Users can click on one of these, implementation file, music, video or data DVD copy operation is very convenient. .
· Complete summary of the trial.
