1. ALUMINUM COVER WITH BACKLIT KEYBOARD
At first glance, the Lenovo Ideapad 310 is a stylish and modern laptop thanks to its aluminum casing. It is not one of the company’s slimmest and lightest laptops, like those in the Yoga series, which must be considered if you want to move it from here to there. It is 22.9 millimeters thick and weighs 2.2 kilos, very much in line with other more current sister models, such as the Lenovo IdeaPad 320 or Lenovo Ideapad 520. At the design level, we must highlight a clean and minimalist cover, with the company’s seal presiding over one of the corners, a backlit keyboard, and a comfortable and wide trackpad.
For its part, the screen of the Ideapad 310 has a size of 15.6 inches with a resolution up to Full HD (1,920 x 1,080).
2. LARGE STORAGE CAPACITY
If you are looking for a computer with enough storage capacity to not go to the cloud now and then to save files, the Lenovo Ideapad 310 will not disappoint you. It is possible to purchase it with a space of up to 2 TB. This is accompanied by a processor up to a seventh-generation Intel Core i7 and 12 GB of DDR4 RAM. As for the graphics section, the IdeaPad 310 includes a 2 GB NVIDIA GeForce 920MX (optional).
3. AUDIO WITH DOLBY TECHNOLOGY
Another of its main keys is found in the sound. The Ideapad 310 offers Dolby technology and two stereo speakers (1.5 W). In this way, there will be no problem when listening to music through Spotify, when playing action movies and series, or when we want to pay attention to all the audio details while playing a simple game.
4. OPTIONAL OPTICAL DRIVE
The Lenovo Ideapad 310 comes optionally with a built-in DVD/CD-RW drive for loading programs, listening to CDs, or watching movies offline. This is indeed a somewhat outdated feature, which is no longer present in current models, although it never hurts to have it if you are nostalgic and still have many DVDs or CDs at home that you do not want to release. In any case, if you are not going to take advantage of this function, it is possible to purchase this model without it.
Regarding the connections section, the Ideapad 310 includes Bluetooth 4.1, 2 USB 2.0 ports, a USB 3.0 port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, WiFi, HDMI, a 4-in-1 card reader, and VGA output.
5. WINDOWS 10
Like the rest of Lenovo laptops, the Ideapad 310 is governed by the latest version of the Microsoft platform: Windows 10. This system version has outstanding functions, including the Cortana assistant and the Microsoft Edge browser, which is faster and safer. Thanks to Cortana, it is possible to perform certain tasks faster and expedite requests, such as requesting information on certain issues, be it the state of the traffic, weather forecast, or various data.
And what about the battery of this model? As far as we know, according to company data, the Ideapad 310 is prepared to last up to 5 hours watching videos. Logically, this figure will depend greatly on the configuration established, such as the brightness level or active tools.
If you are interested in this laptop and are willing to buy it, you can find it at different authorized dealers or on Lenovo’s page. For example, this website sells it for only 370 euros with an AMD processor, HD resolution, 1 TB hard drive, and 8 GB of RAM. If you want a higher version, with a sixth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, PC Componentes has it in its catalog for 815 euros.
