Discontinued

Description

The Lenovo U530 Touch – 59421177 / 59427841 is an ultra-thin 15.6-inch laptop with stylish and sleek design, touchscreen functionality, Full HD 1080p display, and higher-end internal components. Although model names are different, specs of the 59421177 and 59427841 SKUs are the same. They have the Intel Core i7-4510U dual-core processor and the Nvidia GeForce GT 730M dedicated video card as the heart of the system. The processor is among the fastest ones used in thin laptops and is good for all daily tasks and even some advanced stuff like multimedia creation. The included graphics card is a low-end one, but is more powerful than the widely adopted Intel HD 4400 series integrated graphics, often used in laptops with the similar thin form factor. There’s a spacious 1-Terabyte hard drive accompanied by a 16GB solid state drive for improved performance, and 8GB of RAM memory to support heavy multitasking. This laptop has no built-in optical drive, but as a plus the keyboard does have backlight and Intel Wireless Display technology. The keyboard deck is covered with brushed aluminum in dark gray color, while the lid sports a soft touch finish in silver color. Overall thickness of the laptop is 0.9″, while the weight is 4.9 lbs.

Nice review. Do you know what the make/model of the wireless AC card is? And is it a combo WiFi/Bluetooth card?

  Right now I’m confused about Wi-Fi cards in the Lenovo U530. All available models are claimed to have Intel 7260 card, but there are multiple versions of it. Some are listed with support for b/g/n 802.11 standards, while some are claimed to additionally support 802.11ac. So, info in the specs sheet on this page is maybe incorrect. It’s possible that the ac version is just a revision of the b/g/n variant, but I’m not sure if it means a driver update adds ac support on top of b/g/n. Anyway, it’s best to directly ask your laptop seller about the Wi-Fi card. By the way, all U530 models are listed with Bluetooth 4.0.
