subject: Lenovo Y470 First Evaluation Of The New Generation Of Small Y [print this page] As the Intel chipset design flaw issue, this year's new notebooks to another than in previous years late. Fortunately, Intel discovered in time for this problem to deal with decisively, consumers did not let us wait too long. But for small y loyal fans, even this short wait, its anxious mood as much as looking like the excitement dreams and desires. Jingdong Mall flagship store with Lenovo While Taobao started Y470 in 23 pre-sale, but at least wait a week before they can see the small y Mami. The Pacific Internet through a friend, you can buy today move faster to get in a long time favorite of the machine.
Lenovo Y470 domineering exposed sturdy continues the tradition of small y, if the second generation Sandy Bridge architecture allowed to follow the trend with a processor that NVIDIA GT550 2GB of graphics card is to make it stand out. In addition, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 640GB hard drive and JBL speakers are professional-grade performance and audio-visual experience for the machine to provide a "sturdy" protection.
Sturdy little Y has never lacked opponents, edit this list of association in the Y470 and the Acer 4750G, Haier Jane 7G and between Shenzhou K560P detailed hardware configurations for the same period the majority of users to view each manufacturer's product launch of the positioning of the same contrast , we can see small Y sturdy well-deserved.
These sturdy enough to place a small y ecstatic followers, but the Y470 addition of a sturdy place but also to discourage a lot of fans, this is the price of Y470 sturdy. i3 version of the 6499 yuan, i5 version of the 6999 yuan, i7 version is as high as 7699 yuan. This pricing compared to the same configuration of other brand name products devoid of virtue.
However, the pricing strategy for understanding the association of friends, for this is that there is no pricing pressure. Alternating the old and new products in the association process, the new high price just to give the previous generation products are kept out of space, once the transition is completed, new price will naturally return to. Consumers pay for this one is a little more patience. Well, let us now formally entered today's test, since it is domineering exposed, then we start with the appearance of a new beginning into a small y-Y470 Lenovo sturdy world.

Although the use of selected materials it is ABS plastic, but the IMF printing technology show to cover the effect of metal etching.
Lenovo Y470 remains at the bottom of the inlet before the Chinese style design, by contrast with the Y460, and its air inlet reduced, do not think the cooling capacity of Y470 have enough confidence? Later Let the temperature of the test outcome.
Lenovo ideapad Y470 fuselage detail description
Y470 fuselage cover corners are slightly different transition than Y460, as the use of ultra-thin screen, Y470 of the roof curvature smaller, so that whole thin body shape is more sharp, nor are they required locker extent of its solid , Y470 Y inherits a small roof solid tradition, to exert greater force will not be deformed.
"Lenovo" Logo position is still in the top left corner of the roof, the deep tones of the A surface embellishment shines in its light touch, play a finishing touch.

Lenovo ideapad Y470 interior Introduction
Open the screen, with echoes of the all-metal palm rest cover greets, I believe this is the dream of all small Y fans, this design not only improves the texture of the machine, but a disguised form of a heat transfer medium, we can foresee a new of Y470 may eliminate criticism of poor heat dissipation before. A larger keyboard area Y470 change from the previous regular chocolate buttons into buttons, but still maintained a high touch-sensitive design to bring comfortable operation feel.
Compared to the Y460, Y470 touchpad the most obvious change is the left and right keys-one design, the actual use will not cause any difficulties. Touchpad is still used in the design of floating-point matte, practice up and feel good and accurate positioning.
LED touchpad buttons were moved to the middle of the bottom, there is power in the same position, the battery indicator and wireless networks. It is worth mentioning that the touch pad with a concave bottom design for easy one-handed operation to open the screen - human change.
Top of the screen is a 2 megapixel camera, video call user-friendly, its left and right sides, respectively, with two microphones, bid farewell to mono, stereo audio input effect is better, in addition, the right side of the camera There is also a reminder of the indicator is turned on.
Distribution of the left above the keyboard and power button NOVO key (a key recovery), while in this area also three hidden lights, they were prompted with the case open, the numeric keypad open and hard action.

Lenovo ideapad Y470 Interfaces
Y470 of the fuselage on the left interface, the same distribution and Y460, from left to right VGA port, HDMI port, cooling air outlet, RJ45 Ethernet port, two USB2.0 ports and audio input / output interface. Not the slightest change in the continuation of the previous layout of the interface's ease of use, it is worth noting that we can still be seen through the outlet copper cooling fan, cooling the machine must have its a great help.
Came to the right side of the fuselage, the interface layout changes are not so obvious, in the left-most USB2.0 interface is transferred to the drive on the right, in the case of an external wired mouse, this design is more adapt to user habits, and eliminate eSATA interface, with perhaps the lack of competition for space, but more close to the drive position, an external USB device when the opposite sex may affect the optical drive eject. However, taking into account the drive usage decreases, so the design can be considered evasive it.
Even ability is not strong user can easily open the Y470 bottom memory and hard drive upgrades, can be found by observing the cooling module Y470 clearly than before a lot of thick, turbine-style fans can quickly blow the heat inside the body to ensure the stable operation of the machine. Independent of the Mini PCI Express slot can support WWAN card or mSATA SSD, users can be upgraded Lenovo IdeaPad Y430 battery according to their needs.
Lenovo ideapad Y470 configuration
Intel Core i5-2410M processor for dual-core four threads, clocked at 2.30GHz, Core frequency up after a single-core 2.90GHz, 3MB of level three cache, a single point from the parameters, you can probably have a fairly good understanding of their performance, coupled with 4GB DDR3 1333MHz memory support with the 7200 rpm hard drive, strong performance of its self-evident.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M graphics card positioned in the high-end, through the figure we can find it is still used in the DDR3 memory chip, 128-bit memory interface the card is not a bottleneck, even if it has 2GB of dedicated graphics memory .
Lenovo ideapad Y470 cooling and endurance tests
Since we are three in the morning out in today's article, so some of the evaluation session and did not meet the normal standards, for example, room temperature, and the machine warm-up situation. As the evaluation room at midnight central air conditioning is turned off, so the room temperature is not accurate and the time pressing, preheat the machine is not enough, so the temperature has gone wrong before, after correction the majority of users, we re-warm the machine and temperature testing.
As close to the bottom of the desktop, so the heat is not easy to shed. After testing, the bottom two high temperature regions, it seems appropriate to long leg for the books placed in the high-load operation. Our test conditions for the machine at high speed, if it is an ordinary application, I believe that all parts of the temperature lower.
From the test results, Y470 standard 62Wh battery is really full of stamina, endurance time is 5 hours and 30 minutes for a high-performance entertainment this is concerned, this result is quite remarkable.
Summary
Lenovo Y470 elegant new mold line shape gives the flow speed and power co-existence of first impression, dot-matrix pattern of the A side was full of mystery, if you are a good at observing people, the A side in the Lenovo Y470 Some designers will find the hidden secrets left for us. Innovative anodized all-metal C metal surface not only retains the original texture, the color purple the color selection is more to the perfect integration with the panel, behind another strong hint of transmission gentle enough so that the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 battery metal is no longer cold. These are all the details of the design reflects the intention of the Department.

Although we did not get the product the standard SSD, can not feel the Y470 to 9.7 seconds faster boot speed experience, but reserved SSD hard drive slot to upgrade our room, but also to have sturdy little y the potential for a more sturdy.
From Y450, Y460 to today's Y470, y virtue of the small advance configuration, careful design and exquisite workmanship has in-depth user in mind, to become synonymous with high-performance entertainment machine. I believe the change along with the old and new products when the price of Lenovo Y470 be relaxed when a new campus across the country the sturdy storm will be off again.
