Lenovo LaVie Z review

The lightest laptop in the world

TODO alt text





Introduction and 





As I mentioned earlier, this laptop is one of the lightest and thinnest on the market. It's weight (or lack thereof) is revolutionary. Furthermore, Lenovo deserves to be commended for creating a lightweight device with a healthy amount of ports and connectivity
Even better was Lenovo's decision against using the fanless Intel Core M processor, which would have further reduced the laptop's weight if only by a small margin. By choosing Intel's industry-leading, fifth-generation Core i7 processor, Lenovo created a super lightweight device that can also help you stay productive.

Specifications

Here is the Lenovo LaVie Z HZ550 configuration sent to TechRadar for review:
  • CPU: 2.40GHz Intel Core i7-5500U (dual-core, 4MB cache)
  • Graphics: Intel HD Graphic 5500
  • RAM: 8GB LPDDR3 (1,600MHz)
  • Screen:13.3-inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) LED anti-glare
  • Storage: 256GB SSD
  • Ports: 2 x USB 3.0, HDMI-out, SD card reader, combo headphone and mic jack
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 ac and Bluetooth 4.0
  • Camera: 720p HD
  • Weight: 1.87 pounds
  • Size: 12.56 x 0.67 x 8.35 inches (W x D x H)
The Lenovo, Dell and Asus all come with a similar set of ports and connections, so you're not really gaining an advantage with one over the other. However, it is a design coup for Lenovo to have added a similar set of ports to a unit that weighs dramatically less than its rivals, and is similar in dimensions. For clutter-phobes, this spec sheet is a delight.
Each laptop comes with 230-256GB of storage, so there really is no advantage in terms of how much data you'll cram into each notebook.
Lenovo Lavie Z review
The major difference between the three laptops is weight and screen resolution. We've already discussed weight ad nauseum. However, the Lenovo display also warrants extra attention. Dell's entry level XPS, and Asus' Zenbook come with only a full HD screen, so you're actually getting a much more complex and dense screen with Lenovo's WQHD model.

When it comes to laptops,  Asus   is quite prolific with its range with as many as four laptop series. There's ZenBook laptop series - one of its most popular - and there is also Eeebook and VivoBook series. Asus also has a dedicated range of gaming laptops called the RoG or Republic of Gamers. The Eeebook is targeted at the budget users whereas the VivoBook is targeted at the slightly premium category of users. The company, recently, decided to give its VivoBook series a push with the launch of VivoBook S15 (S510UN) in India. The computing device is the newest addition to the VivoBook series, the aim of which is to cater to the 'everyday'  laptop   users. The S15 was launched last month in two variants based on Core i5 and Core i7 processors. We recently got hold of the Core i7 variant, which is priced at Rs 79,990 and went on sale this month. After using it extensively for a few days we can say the laptop earns brownie points for looks but it also makes an arch-r

What is Cryptocurrency: Everything You Need To Know  What is cryptocurrency:  21st-century unicorn – or the money of the future? This introduction explains the most important thing about cryptocurrencies. After you‘ve read it, you‘ll know more about it than most other humans. Today cryptocurrencies have become a global phenomenon known to most people. While still somehow geeky and not understood by most people, banks, governments and many companies are aware of its importance. In 2016, you‘ll have a hard time finding a major bank, a big accounting firm, a prominent software company or a government that did not research cryptocurrencies, publish a paper about it or start a so-called blockchain-project. But beyond the noise and the press releases the overwhelming majority of people – even bankers, consultants, scientists, and developers – have a very limited knowledge about cryptocurrencies. They often fail to even understand the basic concepts. So let‘s walk through the
