Ever since Lenovo took over IBM’s PC division, we’ve seen mostly business notebooks to come out of to market. However, Lenovo has in the last year released its stable of consumer based notebooks in the form of the Lenovo 3000 line. One of their latest releases is the Lenovo 3000 Y410 which is being billed as an entertainment notebook complete with Dolby Surround Sound. I’ve managed to get my hands on a Y410 just recently and decided to take look at how Lenovo’s consumer line fares up.
