Lenovo Thinkpad SL500 2746
***********************
Technology is growing day by day and the competition in computers and consumer electronics market gone in extreme position. Customers are getting more and more benefit due to hard competition in the market. We are getting excellent featured and configured notebooks and computers with reasonable price but some manufactures also trying to give some budget notebooks for budget users. Lenovo is one of the most popular brand in personal computers market is trying to satisfy every category peoples with its large range of computer products.
So have a look on new budget notebook from Lenovo completely dominated to its general customers.
***
The notebook has some good features but over all Lenovo tried to make it cost efficiency and good featured notebook for general use. In dimensions and size this notebook is slightly heavy as it is in 15.4" category and there is about 3Kg of total weight. It will attract by its design and look as per routine style of Lenovo notebooks.
***
The processing speed is slightly lower than what we can aspect in modern time and there is a multicore processor with Intel Core 2 Duo T5670 and have about 1.8 GHz of total clock speed.
This processor was very popular and famous in sometime 6 month before as many notebooks had this as almost all middle range brands. Processor is in multicore, means it is a dual core family processor and it can provide good processing speed in any application but there is a limit in heavy applications. We have to go for good desktop computer or a well configured workstation to work in heavy applications and graphics work. This notebook is only meant for routine work and it will be good choice for your daily job.
Front side data bus speed of the processor is slightly better as it is 800 MHz, and L2 cache size is an average with 2 MB. Over all this is an average processor for the average work.
***
Memory is another consideration and there is about 2 GB of DDR2 SDRAM with 667 MHz of total speed. The RAM size is also average with an average speed and this is a best combination with this processor.
Internal Storage is slightly old aged with about 160 GB of total hard disk drive and some one really like this but person like me wants some capacity in TB, as I have large collection of DATA and music etc.
Graphics memory should be main consideration for any personal computers and I always try to find best notebook with excellent graphics memory. I am generally use many graphics designing applications so that I require heavy graphics memory but till now I am not satisfied with any of the machine, all machines or computers are getting problems with heavy applications during the work. So that there are no perfect solution available till now, but we can't afford heavy workstation, as they can be a good solution for it. Over all there are still many implementations are required to have good personal computers for complete satisfaction.
***
This notebook has average graphics memory as per its nature and there is a Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics card with dynamic video memory Technology 5.0, and have shared graphics memory with pre installed RAM.
Over all this is an average choice as per your pocket and requirement.
