Like Nvidia's Optimus technology, the notebook will switch from one GPU to the other depending on the task. The left has a USB 3.0 and an Ethernet jack.Ĭlick to EnlargeCrammed into the U400's frame is a discrete AMD Radeon HD 6470M graphics card as well as an integrated Intel GMA 3000 GPU. The right side has-from front to back-a headphone jack, two USB ports, and a slot-loading DVD drive. Lenovo even manages to make the ports on the U400 look cool. All are well below what we consider uncomfortable: 95 degrees.

After streaming a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes, the touchpad was a chilly 78 degrees, the G and H keys measured 89, and the middle of the underside was 90. This managed to keep the laptop relatively cool. Similar to the U300s, the U400 keeps its internals cool by drawing air in through its "breathable" keyboard and out through the vent on the left side and rear hinge.

The SRS control panel helped marginally we suggest leaving it on the Movie preset to get the most bass out of the system. Higher tones were accurate and undistorted, but we missed the driving bass line. Even when we cranked Eminem's "Lose Yourself," from Pandora, it was underwhelming. Using an AEMC lightmeter, we measured an average brightness of 165 lux on the U400, which is brighter than the Gateway ID47 (153 lux) and the Lenovo IdeaPad V470 (144 lux), but less than the Inspiron 14z (194 lux) and the ASUS U46S (233 lux).Įmanating from beneath the keyboard, audio was merely passable. We also found viewing angles to be somewhat limited images started washing out when we sat on either side of the display.

Colors were plenty vivid when watching a 1080p trailer of Mission: Impossible streamed from YouTube, but we noticed a good deal of splotchiness in darker areas. A four-finger swipe right launches a full-screen notepad four fingers to the left shows a gallery of images and lets you change the wallpaper and four fingers up lets you switch quickly between applications.Ĭlick to EnlargeThe 14-inch, 1366 x 768 glossy display on the U400 is just average. The U400's touchpad does let you do some nifty things. Pinch-to-zoom and rotate was fast and responsive, as was three-finger flick. Multitouch gestures worked fairly well, though. It was infuriating, and the only remedy was to turn off tap-to-click. While it measures a spacious 4 x 2 inches, too often while we were writing this review our hand would brush up against the trackpad and inadvertently move the cursor all around the screen. The glass Cypress trackpad offered poor palm rejection. Lenovo took a step back with the touchpad on the U400. Considering the price, we would also have liked a backlit keyboard. Also, the right Shift key is undersized, which seems odd considering the half inch of space on either side of the keyboard. As a result, we found ourselves pressing harder than we liked. Click to EnlargeThe U400's keyboard was identical to the layout on the U300: While the smile-shaped, AccuType chiclet-style keyboard was well spaced, the travel wasn't as great as on the ThinkPad X1.
