MORE: Laptops with the Longest Battery Life
If you turn the brightness up all the way or play games rather than just surf the Web on the Ideapad 500, expect its time to be much lower. That's a shorter than the Inspiron 15 (6:45), HP 15t Touch (5:24), Satellite Radius (5:14) and average laptop (5:50).
On the Laptop Battery Test, which involves continuous surfing over Wi-Fi at 100 nits, Lenovo's laptop lasted a mere 3 hours and 43 minutes. The Inspiron 15 7000, which has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M GPU, ran Bioshock (88 fps) and Metro: Last Light (58 fps) at playable speeds at the same settings.ĭon't expect to carry the Ideapad 500 too far from an outlet.

When I played the Asphalt 8 racing title on the Ideapad, the game ran smoothly and without stutter, but it couldn't come close to our 30 frames per second threshold for BioShock: Infinite (11.9 fps at 1080p and Low graphics) or Metro: Last Light (15 fps at 1080p and Low graphics). The Inspi(105,046) earned a higher score. The notebook notched a score of 76,761 on the 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited gaming benchmark, which is greater than the average notebook (73,478), HP 15t Touch (31,921) and the Satellite Radius (55,355). With the power of an AMD Radeon R7 graphics chip, the Ideapad 500 is good for casual-to-regular gamers. That time is shorter than those of the HP 15t Touch (7:59), Satellite Radius (5:42) and average notebook (5:20), but slightly longer than the Inspiron 15's time (3:58). The Ideapad also achieved a middle-of-the-pack result in the OpenOffice Spreadsheet Macro test, where it matched 20,000 names and addresses in 4 minutes and 4 seconds. That's faster than the 750GB, 5,400rpm drive in the 15t Touch (25.6MBps), but slower than the 1TB, 5,400rpm hard drive in the Inspiron 15 (34.62MBps) and the 750GB, 5,400rpm hard drive in the Satellite Radius (39.15 MBps). We measure a hard drive's speed by timing how fast it can duplicate 4.97GB of multimedia files, and the Ideapad's 1TB, 5,400rpm hard drive completed this task in 2 minutes and 42 seconds, for a rate of 31.42MBps. However, that score is below those of the Core i5-6300HQ-powered Inspiron 15 (8,800) and average mainstream laptop (8,936). On GeekBench 3, which measures overall performance, the Ideapad scored 6,128, which beats the Core i3-4005U-powered HP 15t Touch (3,420) and Core i5-5200U-powered Satellite Radius (5,489). Thanks to the Ideapad 500's bouncy, responsive keys, I cranked out 69 words per minute with 97 percent accuracy on the typing test, which is close to my average rates (69 wpm with 99 percent accuracy). When I changed the preset to Dynamic, Future's bass was strong, David Bowie's voice was clear and powerful, and the dialogue in the Deadpool trailer came out clearer. Both the live performance of "Under Pressure," by Queen and David Bowie, and "I Move the Base," by Future, sounded muffled and muddied when the Dolby Home Theater app had its default Music setting enabled.
The Ideapad 500's powerful JBL speakers did a phenomenal job of blasting tunes, filling a large conference room with sound, but the notebook's default sound settings are not optimal. The HP 15t Touch (61.5 percent) displays a similarly narrow range of color.
According to our colorimeter, the panel renders only 61 percent of the sRGB color spectrum, less than the Inspiron 15 (70 percent) and far below both the Satellite Radius (109.6 percent) and the average mainstream laptop (84.4 percent). Unfortunately, the Ideapad 500's screen just can't show that many colors. That may beat the average for mainstream notebook displays (5.7), but the Satellite Radius (0.8), HP 15t Touch (3.91) and Inspiron 15 (0.4) all fared better. The Ideapad's display is also less color-accurate than those of its competitors, with a Delta-E score of 4.6 (a score of 0 is perfect). Making matters worse, the screen's colors started washing out when I moved more than 40 degrees to the left or right. That's brighter than the HP 15t Touch (162 nits) but dimmer than the Satellite Radius 15 (263 nits), the average mainstream notebook (249 nits) and the Inspiron 15 (222 nits). According to our measurements, the Ideapad's display produces 216 nits of brightness.
