Lenovo IdeaPad Y560
$850.00
Released March, 2010
The Pros:Bezel design and materials are high quality, feels solid and looks professional. Fast and smooth even without the top CPU, handles multiple applications without lag. JBL speakers are above-average quality for a laptop, very clear and can be loud if needed.
The Cons:Battery life is very short, especially when high-end graphics processing is done. At 15.6 inches the resolution should be higher than 1366 x 768. Track pad isn't very responsive, avoids accidental movements but means you need to push hard.
