Lenovo U150 11.6-Inch Laptop (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a computer a little bigger than a netbook with better graphic for watching video and the occasional photoshop or CAD project. I bought this in March direct from Lenovo with better specs than what is being offered here, but also for a little more money. The build quality is great, battery life very good (4+ hours), and the aesthetics are mostly spot on. The only thing I do not like is the shiny black bezel around the screen. So much so I'm actually thinking of trying to apply some type of anti-reflective film or even plain to the surface. The screen itself is pretty good (LED) but also a bit shiny. I had a shiny screen Dell 700M before this and Dell got it right. Shiny but not overly reflective. Lenovo went overboard. I'm also looking for an anti-reflective film for the screen.
Otherwise, the keyboard is great and the touchpad, although different, works pretty well after you tweak the settings and get used to the textured surface. I don't use the pad all that much because I hate smaller notebook touch pads overall and use a notebook mouse whenever possible. You can find a USB or eSATA drive for 50-75 bucks if you look. I generally don't find the lack of an on board DVD drive a negative. I either install software via network or a USB drive. For movies, I use something like Handbrake to cnvert and put them right on the hard drive. It will save your battery when traveling not using the DVD.
Is it perfect? No. But it is built far better than most of the netbooks and is capable of more. All and all, a winner.
