5.0 out of 5 stars Great little machine, 13 Feb 2012

This review is from: Lenovo Z370 13.3 inch Laptop - Blue (Intel Core i5 2430M 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB, HDD 750GB, NVIDIA GF410M 1GB, DVDRW, WLAN, Webcam, BT, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit) (Personal Computers)
This is a great little machine. I wanted a powerful laptop with a smaller screen, and this suited me down to the ground.

You'll find lengthy techie reviews littered all over the web about this machine, as to be honest, a laptop is a laptop. So, I'll just point out what I love and what irks me; however, overall, I do love this little beauty.

Pros:
* Fast
* Bright and crisp screen
* One touch physical recovery button (I can see this being invaluable)
* Battery management software - this thing goes for hours!
* Very nice keyboard for touch-typing
* Silent and cool. Very quiet machine that gets only slightly warm.

Cons:
* Touchpad button[s] is a single button on a rocker switch (like a seesaw). This means it's very easy not to be 100% sure that you're right clicking or left clicking. This does improve with use, but I would have preferred two separate buttons for that tactile response without looking.
* Touchpad scroll wheel - again, there's only the slightest difference in texture to know that you're using the scroll function of the touchpad. Could have been more.
* Return key is a little small - but again, you get used to this.

Finally, the blue model is a little too 'Kingfisher' blue for my liking, but still nice.

Please take the above as it is - the pros are real deal-makers for me, and the cons just something different to what I'm used to.

Summing up - If this item broke, I'd replace it like for like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Value 13" on the market, 10 Feb 2012

If you are looking at this review and considering Lenovo Z370, it's probably because of its smart 13".3 size and 1.9kg weight. Otherwise, there are plenty of cheaper 15" laptops with similar specs to choose from.
I was looking for a combination of processing power & storage with at least 4gb of ram and a the most important consideration for me was to have all that in a smaller lighter laptop.
The problem was finding something more powerful than a netbook, much lighter than a 15" laptop, and not much more expensive than a 15". Lenovo Z370 was the closest fit I could find by a mile (well, by £150!).
At 13".3 the screen is big enough to be practical and small enough to be easily carried around. At 1.9kg, the weight is a third lighter than the average 15" laptop. All this without compromising on processing power (i5). The massive 750gb of storage (bigger than average laptop) should be enough for my pictures and video clips.
I've had it for a month now and am extremely happy with it.
Once you've had a 13" laptop, you won't go anywhere near a 15.6 !!

Pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of this PC. Honestly I did not expect that for the price.

The only points that I could criticise are the following:
- Glossy cover catching fingerprints
- The bottom does get a little bit hot (with an i5 any small laptop will get hot)
- Enter Key too small

What impressed me :
- Overall look and feel (metal finish for palm rest and the whole area around the keyboard)
- Good sound quality
- Battery management software, keeps the battery not fully charged to improve its lifetime (useful when working on AC power)
- Dedicated capacitive keys for volume control, predefined screen settings and fan settings

I give it five stars, very nice product.
