Total War: Rome II Benchmarked

 

Fun or just frustrating? Following the current trend, Creative Assembly and SEGA released their new epic strategy game before it was quite ready. Gamers are registering complaints about performance issues, texture problems and other sorts of bugs. You...

A further thank you goes to Crucial for providing the 480 GB M500 on which Windows 7 Professional 64-bit is installed

Review Lenovo IdeaPad S500 Touch 59372927 Ultrabook

 

Average. Lenovo offers with the IdeaPad S500 a new ultrabook with

Good application performance; Sufficient for games; 24 month warranty; SSD cache

The fan creates a disturbing buzzing/whistling sound; Low-contrast, dark screen; Difficult to maintain; GPU throttling under full load

The battery capacity of the IdeaPad is average for normal 15.6-inch notebooks. Despite this fact the notebook reaches only below-average runtimes. Keep in mind: The device has a ULV processor.

Still Love this Laptop

 

If you intend to research or work or light work, this is the right laptop for you. Gamer people better look somewhere else.

I have owned this laptop for almost two years now and i still love it ; The touch screen works great, it's light, it's sleek, and has a big screen

have to connect to my internet almost every time i turn it on ; Barely ever the screen forgets it's touch screen and i have to close it and open it up again ; Maybe this is a con but i don't mind it lacking a cd-rom

Lenovo S500 (59371478)

 

It is a very good computer for those who are not tech savvy but are looking for a functional sleek laptop. I bought it for my girlfriend who is a college student constantly writing papers and using the internet. For that its runs great. Most of the...

Light, powerful for its price. Has touch screen. Good for those who do a lot of work on laptops, and travel

Issues staying connected to wifi. Windows 8.1 cannot be loaded without several steps being taken. Not recommended for gamers or those who are looking for more power from their machine

Looked Good on Paper

 

I tried to rate this fairly despite the laptop dropping dead after the first week. A USB drive was plugged into one of the ports and the laptop shutdown. The next day, the same thing happened but then the laptop wouldn't power on after that. Before you...

Nice clear wide screen ; Wide keyboard with number pad ; Touchscreen is kinda fun ; Thin design ; Windows 8 performed nicely ; SD card reader

Touchscreen smudges ; Flimsy LAN port cover - totally unnecessary and annoying ; Irregular square power jack ; Power brick gave the impression of low quality ; See other thoughts
