The DEFINITIVE Lenovo w510 Unboxing and Review (w520)

This video contains the information you need to know to make an informed purchase of the Lenovo w510 work station. This computer is nearly identical to the w520 in terms of exterior features. This review is designed for serious people about to make the purchase, hence the length and detail. The summary review ends at 1:53 and the in depth review follows for the rest of the video. More information about the computer can be found on my site. www.infinitedefinitives.wordpress.com
This is by far the best laptop PC brand on the market. Higher performance, reliability and tech support at a lower price than all other PCs I’ve researched of equivalent setup.
No notorious issues with Lenovo either, not like Alienware or XPS heating issues, Macintosh quality control issues, or HP stability issues. This is a solid and stable professional computer.
Specs:
i7 820QM Quad Core Processor
8GB RAM at 1333mhz speed (two dimms currently open, expandable to 16GB)
160GB Intel SSD
Nvidia Quattro FX 880M Graphics Card
Multi touch 15.6″ 1080p full HD display – 1920×1080
9 Cell Li-Ion Battery
Windows Professional 64 bit
Bluetooth
$1682.13
Only equivalent setup is the M4500 from Dell, which is $2510 and doesn’t have USB 3.0, multi touch display, long battery life, efficient heat dissipation, and more.
I bought the W510 workstation new from the manufacturer’s website: Lenovo.com
On the site you have the option to shop as a student (if you are a student), which gave me 5% off the price. Then I used a manufacturer’s eCoupon for an additional 20%. The coupons come and go, last summer Lenovo had a 30% coupon, currently I think they have a 10% for the W510. The coupons are totally legitimate, you just enter the appropriate code at checkout. I don’t use secondary sources for coupon codes. Here is the current link:

Windows 7 Performance index:
Processor: 7.1/7.9 (i7 820QM)
Memory: 7.4/7.9 (8GB 1333mhz)
Graphics: 6.5/7.9 (1GB FX 880M Quattro)
Gaming Graphics 6.5/7.9 (1GB FX 880M Quattro)
Primary hard disk: 7.6/7.9 (Intel 160GB SSD)
Lowest score is 6.5 — but it doesn’t take into account that the graphics utilizes Quattro architecture, which is more stable, runs OpenGL well and is powerful.

Update Thursday, January 27th 2011:
On the W510 Audio
The W510’s audio is good, but not so good for true music listening. It’s more suited for television shows and similar types of audio. When it comes to harmonies and bass, the speakers tend to buzz and distort. But this is the same issue with all laptops.
If you buy ANY laptop and want to listen to some good music, I would hit up some Logitech speakers or Sony headphones, to name a few preferred brands. My personal Sony headphones are the MDR-V600. They’re cheap, great quality and has a long extension cord.
Speaking of music, if you appreciate performing some classical music once in a while, I have piano tutorials on my website:

Update Tuesday, February 1st, 2011:
Refer to the video on this link to see how I expedited my order by ten days. I simply called the phone number posted on the manufacturer’s website:

Thanks for the great feedback I’ve been getting on my videos. You may look around my YouTube channel for more stuff, updated regularly. My website, infinitedefinitives.wordpress.com , is basically the same thing as my YouTube channel, but with even more content that is in a more clear and organized format.
P.S. Always use a bright room to film a computer’s monitor!

New Laptop Computer Buying Tips for you Part 2
The 4 th tips. PC Operating System
All new PC laptops ship with Microsoft Windows 7. Most computers have the Home Premium version of Windows 7 while many business class laptops will have Windows 7 Professional pre-installed. Some will have the 32-bit version and some will have the 64-bit version. The 64-bit version will allow the computer to process data in larger chunks.
This difference of 32-bits vs. 64-bits does not result in a significant performance difference today, however it may make more of a difference in the future as more software packages takes advantage of the newer 64-bit technology.
