An increasing number of people are looking at enhanced security features in their laptops, apart from just good looks.
Keeping this in mind a number of vendors, have started working on embedding new methods of security for their users, utilizing a hardware-software combine to achieve the desired effect. Lenovo has recently introduced its "Y" series of laptops which feature biometric face recognition that aims to enhance data security similar to fingerprint scanners.
The product we are checking out today is the Lenovo 3000 Y500, which is the flagship model of the 3000 series.
One of the things I really like about Lenovo is the solid construction of its laptops. Lenovo usually pays close attention to its manufacturing processes and builds tough notebooks that can withstand a lot of abuse as compared to offerings from rival manufacturers. The Y500 is built in a similar vein and is aimed at being a desktop replacement. Its body is accented in a light shade of metallic silver and has the Lenovo tag emblazoned across the top. The underside of the laptop matches the silver accent, with a dark-grey finish that gives the area around the LCD panel and keyboard a very classy look. The construction materials used are excellent as always, but do have the negative point of adding un-necessary weight to the laptop.
The Y500 weighs in at 2.7 Kg--- a trifle heavy for a 15-inch laptop. Regretfully Lenovo has not provided a carry bag with the retail package. This we think is a bad move, if one is to consider the weight of the laptop. You will need to purchase a bag separately. It also adds an un-wanted cost to the laptop purchase, as good bags that are capable of holding a heavy laptop such as the Y500 cost Rs. 2,500 upwards.
