Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 Review

Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset. A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.

Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced Unigine engine from Unigine Corp. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of steampunk.

Efficient and well-architected framework makes Unigine highly scalable:

  • Multiple API (DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 / OpenGL) render
  • Cross-platform: MS Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) / Linux
  • Full support of 32bit and 64bit systems
  • Multicore CPU support
  • Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)
  • Powerful C++ API
  • Comprehensive performance profiling system
  • Flexible XML-based data structures

We use the following settings: 1600×900 resolution. Anti Aliasing off. Anisotrophy 4, Tessellation normal. Shaders High. Stereo 3D disabled. API: Direct X 11.

The Nvidia Geforce GT 620M isn't exactly a powerhouse graphics solution as we can see by the results. The system averaged in the single digits at a resolution of 1600×900.

Senior Intel Engineer Explains the Radical Shift in CPU Design

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.

  1. I love their keyboards too, my boss has one in work (not sure of the model number, but the keyboard is fantastic).

    id rather have a less powerful laptop with a great screen and keyboard rather than the latest processor.

  2. I hate the idea of the battery being inside the chassis. never liked that idea.

  3. I like the look of their new carbon X1. I bought the original X1 on your review last time and I think its almost perfect. If they improve the screen on the carbon version im flogging mine off and upgrading to the new one.

  4. WOW, that thing is thicker than the power brick LOL

  5. Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 beautiful laptop. They provide such as light in weight, built-in DVD writer, 14-inch wide HD+ screen, SD memory card, another USB port,2GB NVIDIA graphics card, memory capacity of 8 GB RAM and many more.
