The notebook boots and displays a menu that allows, among other things, access to the BIOS. It is called up when pressing the One Key Recovery button while the notebook is turned off. It can repair the operating system or reset it to delivery condition. Lenovo's own recovery system One Key Recovery is also on board.

Lenovo ships the IdeaPad S500 with preinstalled Windows 8 (64-bit). No other accessories besides the usual documents (warranty information, quick-start guide) can be found in the shipping carton. The maximum resolution is 1280x720 pixels. The integrated webcam only takes mushy pictures. Quite surprising since Gigabit-Ethernet should be standard nowadays. Lenovo only installs a Fast-Ethernet chip from Realtek in the S500. The WLAN reception was at no time problematic: The WLAN gauge always displayed the maximum reception, no matter if the IdeaPad was right next to the router or 2 stories away.

Additionally, the module provides Bluetooth 4.0 for the notebook. It supports the WLAN standards 802.11 b/g/n. Lenovo employs a WLAN module from Intel ( Centrino Wireless-N 2230). The hinges keep the lid tightly in its position with only little bouncing. However, in some spots the backside of the lid can be pushed in deeply enough to cause image distortions. The stability of the base unit is acceptable but shows weaknesses that we have already seen in notebooks of other manufacturers: When pressure is applied to the base unit at the left side of the keyboard and underneath the touchpad, the base unit slightly bends. Unfortunately both parts turn out to be very susceptible to fingerprints. Additionally, the two elements are furnished with a texture that reminds of brushed aluminum. Lenovo decided to use a matte black for the bottom as well as the backside of the lid. The case is split into two colors: The top of the base unit and the frame of the screen are kept in a matte anthracite. The IdeaPad takes up the cuneiform design of its sisters of the S series. Asus, however, uses aluminum elements for the VivoBook. Something the sample has in common with the Sleekbook. The complete case of the S500 is made of plastic.
We compare it to the competitors HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b004sg ( Core i5-3317U, GeForce GT 630M) and Asus VivoBook S500CA-CJ005H ( Core i5-3317U, HD Graphics 4000) for classification purposes. Our review reveals if the IdeaPad S500 can do it better.

The previously tested models of the IdeaPad S series turned out to be sturdy notebooks that suffered under below-average battery runtimes though. Other models - like the S400 - do not meet the specific ultrabook requirements. Some of the models - like the S500 - are allowed to call themselves ultrabooks. We have already tested numerous models of the IdeaPad S series - for example the IdeaPad S210 Touch ( Pentium 2127U, HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge), 11.6-inches), the IdeaPad S300 ( Core i3-2365M, Radeon HD 7450M, 13.3-inches), or the IdeaPad S400 ( Core i5-3317U, HD Graphics 4000, 14-inches). Their mutual trademarks are their thin design and the use of ULV hardware. Lenovo's IdeaPad S series consists of numerous notebooks in various sizes (11.6- to 15.6-inches). 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4įor the original German review, see here.
