Since Lenovo’s IdeaPad Y650 announced almost a month ago, there doesn’t appear to have been any press or user reviews of the multimedia-oriented notebook.

The guys over at jkOnTheRun got a Y650 in their hands and blogger James Kendrick has shared his impressions over the first 24 hours of use. James covers his inital Likes and Dislikes of the machine, including what seems to be a technical problem with the touchpad. Since IdeaPads don’t have the ThinkPad’s lovely pointing nub, aka TrackPoint, the touchpad is rather important to the machine’s usage. Take a gander on over for more details.

As a reminder, the IdeaPad Y650 is a new 16-inch multimedia notebook from Lenovo. The display’s pixels are arranged in a 16:9 format, all the new rage for ideal movie viewing and also cheaper to produce given that is the same ratio used for TV LCD’s. The usual array of processors, memory, and hard drive are available along with available NVIDIA graphics and a standard DVD burner.
