Lenovo V110 15 [V110-15IAP 80TG00AGRK]

Not just for business

The low-cost laptop model Lenovo IdeaPad V110 15 (V110-15IAP 80TG00AGRK) is primarily focused on the business segment, but in our opinion it will perfectly play the role of a multimedia centre for study, work and entertainment

The laptop is designed in a pleasant to the touch case made of matte plastic. Dimensions are 380x262x22 mm and weigh 1.9 kg. This, of course, is not a compact ultrabook, but it will not burden the backpack too much.

Quad-core processor

The heart of the laptop is a quad-core Pentium N4200 with a nominal frequency of 1.1 GHz and the ability to overclock to 2.5 GHz. It is paired with 4 GB of RAM, which can be expanded up to 8 GB in the future. Talking about hardware is completed by the built-in HDD drive with an impressive 500 GB of memory for SSD-accustomed laptops. This combination is more than enough for everyday and work tasks.

The IdeaPad V110 15 uses a TN+film screen with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. Not to say that the screen looks too grainy, but in the era of total Full HD, I would like a higher resolution from this laptop.

Gaming features

But this resolution has a positive effect on gaming capabilities, creating less load on the graphics card. Speaking of it: the laptop has an integrated Intel HD Graphics 505 video chip, which can pleasantly surprise you if you don't expect too much from it.

For example, it runs Half-Life 2 quite briskly at high graphics settings, and also manages to deliver a stable 25 FPS at low graphics settings in the first Crysis and STALKER.

Battery Life

The presence of a built-in graphics card and a processor with a floating frequency has a positive effect on the battery life of the laptop. At medium screen brightness settings, the IdeaPad V110 15 confidently holds a charge of up to 6 hours.

Of the switching ports, there is a basic set of everything you need: HDMI, a card reader and a pair of USB — one class 2.0, the second class 3.0. If the lack of obsolete VGA in 2018 raises no questions, then just 2 USB ports are a little embarrassing. If you habitually use a mouse instead of a touchpad, then there is only 1 port for a flash drive, external speakers, a smartphone and any USB gadgets.
